Nobody can tell me that God is not aware of us.
This morning, I was rushing out the door to go to work. I was feeling kind of down and wished I could just stay home. I walked outside and turned to lock the front door behind me. There was a very cool breeze and I was immediately aware of how wonderful it felt. I walked around the side of the garage and literally stopped in my tracks. "Wow!" I gasped. There was a beautiful rainbow, a complete arc, right above my car in the driveway. My mood completely changed. I grabbed my cell phone and began taking photos. I felt like the rainbow was a sign from God, a promise that things will get better. Just as I finished taking several pictures, it began to rain. Giant, wet, soft, cool raindrops. The sky was blue, yet it was raining. It was so gentle. I stood there, luxuriating in it. Roger drove up. He asked me if I was OK. I told him I'd been feeling so bad but when I came outside and looked up, I felt like God was talking to me. "Looked up?" he asked. "Yes," I said, "Isn't it beautiful?" He looked up and saw the rainbow. Amazingly, he had not even seen it as he drove home from the hospital. He hugged me and said, "Everything will be alright, Sweetie." "I know," I said. In less than 2 minutes, the rain had stopped, and all traces of the rainbow were gone. It had come and gone so quickly, but it was exactly what I needed. Almost if it had happened just for me.
Nobody can tell me that God is not aware of us. He answers our prayers. He blesses us. And, sometimes, when we really need it, he sends something to get our attention and remind us that He is there. I will always be grateful!
