Spring! There is nothing like it as we soak in the cool days, blooming flowers and the smell of rain. After the rain, comes the rainbow. For some reason, the past few years have brought many beautiful rainbows to our area. At the beginning of May, I even drove through one! I had never seen a double rainbow until a year a few years ago. Now, we see them at least once a year.
In March, we were heading out after a thunderstorm in the early evening and got to spot another double rainbow. There’s so much joy and hope that we experience when we see that rainbow (double or not).
Emmie had had her surgery. We were through that hurdle. We were waiting. Watching. Healing. And then we see the rainbow. A reminder that God is there. That He is in control. Every time I see a rainbow, I am reminded of God’s everlasting love and care for us. No matter what we go through, He is there.
I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. -Genesis 9:13
It took me a good week to sleep off the jet lag which meant that when Thanksgiving came around, I was just coming out of the fog. We managed to pull together a spread for our family. We rotate our Thanksgiving every year. One year we’ll hit up Grandmere and Papa’s house. The next year is Ge and Granddaddy’s turn and then the third year is at home. I love to cook Thanksgiving dinner. It’s my absolute favorite meal. This year, despite the fog, was no exception. The only thing that could have made the day even more awesome would have been having Y home.
until it got dark. Then we made a fire and roasted marshmallows!
