God speaks through a double Rainbow.

I had not written for a few weeks for many reasons mainly laziness.

Yesterday on my way home a saw a double rainbow, a beautiful rainbow with clar purple color.  It was parallel to me at first and I got lost and then I was driving towards it.  So beautiful that I took pictures of it at every red light and stop signs.  It reminds me of God's promise to Noah after the flood.

Genesis 9:8-17

8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, ⁹‘As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, ¹⁰and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark. ¹¹I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.’ ¹²God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: ¹³I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. ¹⁴When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, ¹⁵I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. ¹⁶When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.’ ¹⁷God said to Noah, ‘This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.’

I needed this reminder of God to Noah and all of us humankind because I had just left the hospice house where one of my flock had died - well actually left for life eternal with God. It broke my heart to see how heart broken her loving husband was.  They had been married as long as I have lived.  I know where she had gone to.  I know my call as their congregational care pastor and I did what I was to do, I prayed with him and their niece by the tent she no longer need and left behind on the hospice bed.  I talked withe the nurse.  I checked her belongings for him. I did everything as I should have.  Then I walked into the rain to get to my car and drove home.  My heart sunk. I choked up.  The road to home from there is a familier one.  I had drive it many a times. But I got lost.  I even called my husband and I missed every turn.  I turned into a street I had never driven on.  ThenI saw the rainbow, a bright rainbow and then a bit dimmer one above it.  My heart felt full of joy remembering God's promise to Noah.  

God was talking to me throught he rainbow.  My heart felt lighter, filled with joy and gratitute that He should use me to minister to those in times of trouble and dying and death.  I am grateful.  So, I ended up thanking God for the honor and privilledge for serving Him through serving his children.
