Rainbow

 A few days ago I woke to a lovely orange/gold light shining through the window. I went through to the lounge and opened the drapes to be confronted by a magnificent rainbow. It was a beautiful full arch over the southern sky just as the sun was coming up.


 
This is all I could get on my phone camera and it doesn't 
look like much. Too much 'stuff' in the way. 


Then the phone pinged. Vanessa sent this pic through to the family chat page - taken from her workplace.


Then the phone pinged again. This time granddaughter 
shared a pic - taken on her way to work. 


And this is another one of Vanessa's. Saddle Hill bathed in light overarched by the rainbow. I live the other side of the hill.
 
For me the rainbow brought to mind a verse from pslams,
The heavens declare the glory of God. Psalm 19 v 2. 
And the story of the rainbow after the flood in Genesis where God promised never to flood the earth again and put a rainbow in the sky as a reminder of his promise.

Thank you for your concern about my friend who I told you about in my last post. She is home now after spending five days in hospital. Still in her own home as she has a few ongoing hospital and clinic appointments to go too but we are all hoping she will head down to her daughter's place for a week or two of rest and recuperation once they are over.

Take care
Diana.

    Glad that your friend is home from hospital. Answered prayer. :)

  8. What an amazing rainbow!! And to get so many pictures sent to you! It really was gorgeous! Praise God for the sign of His promises to us. Praying for your friend that she will get the help she needs. I have neighbor going through some similar issues and she is currently in the rehab/nursing home temporarily, but not sure how she will do at home on her own. So praying for her too. I enjoyed your post. That rainbow is amazing!
