God's Promise

A few days ago, we happened to have a pretty decent storm around these parts.  Afterwards, we looked out The Dairy Farmer's office window and low and behold....a full on double rainbow!



It was so close to our house, that we could see the end shimmering just in front of our woods by Penn National.  We considered running over right quick and just standing in it, hoping it would turn us all rainbow brite and sparkly....but, it would have resulted in ruining some corn and beans- so we thought better of it. 

It was also so close to our house that we couldn't get it in one picture.



I am pretty sure that Chambersburg - greater and lesser- stopped in time as facebook exploded with status updates and pictures of this wonder.







I am pretty sure that a rainbow captivates us so much because it's our visual reminder of God's promise.  It's not just refraction and dispersion of the sun's light by rain, it's a promise that God made to us after Noah and the great flood....to never do that again and God always keeps his promises. 

  
I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth.  Genesis 9:13.
