Today, I am thankful for seeing this rainbow on the way into work this morning. Hubby says it's rare for us to see a rainbow in the western sky here, but that is just where it was. Thank you Lord for your promise that you remind us of in your rainbow. Prior to seeing this rainbow, I was just listening to the old song, How Great Thou Art and remarking to hubby how it's so unbelievable that God gave His Son for us.
And when I think of God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
This verse is what made me think about it. I was almost in tears, which is pretty rare for me. And I asked God to keep me tender towards Him and towards others.
And then I was looking out my window and saw the rainbow. I just feel thinking back on it that God put it there just for me for thinking about Him and His Son this morning.

How special is that!!!
ReplyDeleteThat hymn is still one of my favorites.
love you had a little visit with God this morning :)
I'm very thankful too.
DeleteHow beautiful is that, smiles. Have a lovely day friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope you have a great day too.
DeleteNice! What a great start to a cloudy, wet day. No rainbows here, but I did see the most beautiful play of pink and red on the clouds at sunrise. Have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteThank you and your morning skies sound beautiful!
DeleteRainbows are special reminders of God's promises kept. I always feel lucky when I see one.
ReplyDeleteI love to see a rainbow. They are just so beautiful!
DeleteHow nice that you got to see a rainbow!
ReplyDeleteIt really looked a lot better in person than in my pictures.
DeleteWhile not in so many words, I believe God is always speaking to us. Whether it be beautiful rainbows, sunsets or an unexpected, unlikely bloom.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. I just need to "listen" a little better.
DeleteWe saw a beautiful rainbow the other night. People were stopping and taking photos it was so gorgeous! I love that hymn. I feel the same way when I look out my window and see a bird that looks to have come just to say hello to me. It reminds me that "His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me" :)
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteI love a rainbow! I always think of my mom when I see one.
ReplyDeleteAwww that is sweet!
DeleteLove the rainbow! Don't they always just make you say "Thank you, Jesus?" And that verse of How Great Thou Art is my favorite verse. Sometimes when the song leader wants to shorten a song and not sing all the verses I get very frustrated if they leave that one out, because it is the best one of all. And yes, it always makes me want to cry. "Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee...How great Thou art!"
ReplyDeleteI just can't believe that God was willing to send His Son for me! I mean I do believe it but I certainly don't deserve! I'm just so glad He was willing to be that sacrifice.
