Just about a week ago, somebody at our house exclaimed "Hey Look, a rainbow". Sure enough, visible out our back sliding door was a beautiful rainbow, and I've been thinking about rainbows off and on ever since. I've never heard anyone try to fool the group into looking at a rainbow that wasn't there, as in "ha, ha, made you look", and I've also never heard anyone complain about that dog-gone rainbow ruining their day. Rainbows are beautiful and welcome, even when they aren't double deckers like the beauty in the picture above. When I see a rainbow, I'm probably not the only one who thinks about God's promise to Noah that he would never again destroy the world with a flood. Think what it would be like to never have seen a rainbow until you were middle aged. Wouldn't the first few times be amazing? If we take a bit of time to try, I'll bet we can recapture that childlike appreciation, and not just concerning rainbows.
I'll bet not too many folks have heard of moon-bow, but that will have to wait for another day.
