Who needs Pennsylvania flowers when you can have Colorado rainbows nearly every day?
And a handsome Colorado cowboy just come home from work?
God sees "the other side of the storm,"
sang the Fullers at our church last week.
All we can see is the dark clouds, all we can hear is the wind,
and all we can feel is the cold, wet rain and pounding waves.
But on the other side of the storm
is His rainbow.
After the squalls--and the rain,
after the prayers, and the pain,
comes the bright shining of the sunshine and beautiful Colorado blue sky!
After years of drought comes a month with rain almost every day and suddenly
there is thick green grass in our front yard.
And our parched souls are watered with His abundant grace and love.
What a blessing to look out and see a full pond, green grass,
aspen leaves that survived the hail,
and neighbor horses grazing peacefully.
And okay, let's not spiritualize this one--
just a sweet picture of me and my sweetie
under the rainbow! :)
New storms brew over the horizon, but we can rest, unafraid,
drinking deeply of His grace and love, rejoicing that even though the clouds are dark, He is Master of the storm, and He will take care of us.
