It makes me think. I think they serve a dual purpose--for his purpose and for ours. <BR/><BR/>Rainbows speak the language of covenant between Creator and his created, not the other way around. They script a beautiful remembrance from long ago and will continue their story until they are no longer needed.<BR/><BR/>Regardless of human perceptions and thoughts in the matter, they are indeed a beautiful and sacred gift. We would all do well to take notice and to revere the holiness of our God through them.<BR/><BR/>What a magnficent picture. I'd be framing that one, girl!<BR/><BR/>peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229893110659808723.post-83942052397538542902008-08-28T14:25:00.000-05:002008-08-28T14:25:00.000-05:00I gotcha!

Sometimes I know these things in my head, but still need someone to come along and speak it into my heart. That's what you've done. :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05385113276975410417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229893110659808723.post-61168903115314156152008-08-28T13:44:00.000-05:002008-08-28T13:44:00.000-05:00Rebecca, probably what I should have said to you i...Rebecca, probably what I should have said to you is "Fulfillment in him during the waiting." That would have been a better way of expressing it. <BR/><BR/>ON a side note, I pray that many people head over to your blog and read your post on your family situation. It broke my heart in two, but your faith also encouraged me tremendously. It is people like you, God-strong through trials, that show God's face to the world in a tangible way.LauraLee Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092672958394657296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229893110659808723.post-85578437302881819892008-08-28T13:41:00.000-05:002008-08-28T13:41:00.000-05:00BP, when I saw your double rainbow icon on another...BP, when I saw your double rainbow icon on another person's site, I could not resist inviting you over to see mine.

Thank God for them.<BR/><BR/>You wrote this morning that you would pray for my family, fears and FULFILLMENT TO THE WAITING. (Thank you for your prayers.) I had never thought of God's answer as connected to the waiting. I guess I pictured it like I do my time and when I've done enough, God makes a move. It brings much more purpose to believe that the waiting and the answer are connected. It gives me purpose, to stay fulfilled, instead of disconnectedly standing by. <BR/><BR/>Know that I have what you mentioned on my heart this morning, and have offered up prayers for that situation as well. ~ RebeccaRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05385113276975410417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229893110659808723.post-60018780229339356962008-08-28T12:04:00.000-05:002008-08-28T12:04:00.000-05:00Loooove those songs!!

The most memorable was after a super spring storm. The massive storm clouds peeled back and there was the brightest double.

There are times that hit me like a rock as well, times where my mind just goes WOW to the awesomeness of God and what he has brought me from and to and how amazing and really quite unbelievable the change in my life has been. <BR/>On another note, I too love that funny feeling of going back in time when I hear all those 80's tunes - then I look in the mirror, and am reminded that I don't LOOK like I did back then either, LOL. :)Kathy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17099897804706795324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229893110659808723.post-55256858070202312832008-08-28T11:13:00.000-05:002008-08-28T11:13:00.000-05:00OK - I was getting lost in your post and all the m...OK - I was getting lost in your post and all the music (ahh...memories!) and then WOW - that beautiful picture of the double rainbow you were blessed with! The only time we have seen a "double" was on our daughter's 16th birthday (she's almost double that now, but shhhh - don't tell!). It was like a special gift just for her...how can you match that??<BR/><BR/>Thank you for visiting my blog and your kind words.

Here that is...<BR/>Ok picture with me if you will. I'm on my way to my best friends house to do some sewing. I'm sitting at a stoplight in my SUV, bebopping to some 80's music ( I know , sinner) and just thinking "Yeah,that's right, I'm okay LOL" and then it happens. I start looking around me. I have 2 car seats in the back, my sewing bag in the front, I'm wearing elastic band shorts and a t-shirt and my hair is braided in two pig tail braids and I'm driving a tank. IT's then that I realize, I AM NO LONGER COOL!!!! I started cracking up so hard (all by myself mind you). My eyes start watering, the nose starts running, I can't stop. I mean come on when did this happen? And why didn't anyone tell me sooner lol? Can anyone identify with me? Or am I alone in this? <BR/>Okay so that's that, now I wanted to comment on the rainbow. I love rainbows. They are God's constant reminder to us. I stand in awe everytime I see one, unless of course I'm driving. When I taught Sunday school we were teaching about the flood and it was like I said cue rainbow, for out the window appeared a DOUBLE rainbow. It was so awesome. <BR/>Okay do I get brownie points for longest comment today ha ha!<BR/>Blessings my friend.<BR/>KimKim @ Homesteader's Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787975654863452911noreply@blogger.com
