As I was struck by the beauty of the rainbow, I tried to imagine what Noah and family must have thought as they saw the first rainbow. As lovely as this one seemed to us, the first rainbow surely put this one to shame. How full of awe that moment must have been! A promise that God would never again destroy the world with a flood. And a reminder of the picture the ark gives us of our own way of escape - the Savior who was born to die to save us from our sins.
A neat thing about God's timing is that the next day, we talked about Noah, the ark, the flood, the picture of the coming Savior, the rainbow, etc, as we got ready to make and put up Wednesday's ornament for our Jesse tree. God is good.

I was watching the same sky. As I stepped out of the podiatrist's office Tuesday evening I stopped in sudden awe at the beautiful sunset layed open in front of me.
How comforting and reassuring to know that our God is so big that we can see the same beauty from two different spots on the globe.
That's wonderful!
