Christmas Eve Rainbow


What a rainstorm we had today! Sideways, straight down, sprinkles, puddles, flooding, lots of rain.

And just when it seemed that it might go into the night -- and maybe even hinder the Christmas Eve service -- the sun began to break through, even as it was time for it to set.

As we exited the Pontchartrain Expressway, I was amazed to look in the sky and see a beautiful rainbow. I was startled. I don't remember EVER seeing a rainbow in New Orleans in December . . . EVER. But today, what a beautiful reminder of God's love and promises and presence . . . a beautiful almost-double rainbow.

Thank you, even in the midst of some hard stuff at home, that you are amazing. You are the promise-keeper!
