July 28

Mentally, this is a hard time of year for me. I was stressing badly over some issues this morning and a sense of despair started to set in. And then I went outside and saw something surprising.

As I was getting in the car to to pick up the kids from VBS, I saw this. I did a triple take, and then turned around because I didn't really believe what I was seeing. And it was right there overhead: a rainbow. No rain, just a few clouds in the sky, but a band of brilliant colors traversed the sky.

Since rainbows connote hope, I know it was God giving me a much-needed wink.
