While on a morning walk, i spotted a neighbor and her children at their picnic table creating artwork. We waved and chatted. I told them about rainbows popping up in windows around the world as a reminder of God's promises and love for us. When possible, i wanted to find a rainbow to place in one of my windows.
A week later, an unexpected rat-a-tat-tat at my door brought a sweet surprise. My little-T friend, not only heard my wish, but painted me a beautiful rainbow... one full of love and hope. It's exactly what i and most of the world need now. And if you look closely, you can even spot a cloud heart.
His picture is actually a twice-as-nice one. The back of the framed picture is just as special. It's covered in more hearts and love yous. So whether going or coming in my house, or going about inside of my house, i have reason to smile and be thankful. Like you, i am missing family visits - smiles from school - HUGS from everybody - meals with friends - casual shopping and outings. But i am reminded by little-T's special rainbow, storms do end and rainbows show up. We have God's promise He has not forgotten nor neglected us.
As God listens to our prayers, may we listen to the needs of others. We have no idea what impact even a small act of kindness might have on another.
there there are sunnier days ahead.
I'm trusting God.
we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
veneal
