A recent rainstorm at sunset, crowned with a dazzling rainbow.
With His Word He formed the mountains,
Made the skies and filled the sea.
Gave the land its wonderous beauty
Gave life’s breath to you and me.
He was there before the song was sung,
He still abides through its refrain,
And when the song gives way to silence
Still the Word of God remains.
~Lawrence Keith Holder
Last week, we finally received some much-needed rain. Between the rain showers, we were able to see a variety of clouds, several rainbows, and patches of low-lying fog. It was a joy to witness all the natural beauty around us.
Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.
~Mary Oliver
This past weekend we saw a beautiful rainbow where both ends extended down and “appeared” to touch the ground. Unfortunately, no pots of gold.
“My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So was it when my life began; So is it now I am a man … ” ~William Wordsworth
“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain!” ~Dolly Parton
