"I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant . . ."
~Gen 9:13-15~
We all have a gray day sometimes. A day ( or a week! ) when a cloud glooms over our head, life appears dull, lacks luster, everything seems heavy, you feel lost in routine, without purpose. But God is gracious to soon place a break in the clouds. First a ray of sunshine beams through, next a faint rainbow. Your mind is renewed with some hope & wonder. Before you know it, you get up one morning to a full scale polka dot day, your heart filled with excitement & anticipation, bubbling over; you feel proud to be here, what you've persevered through, content again, less chaos, life more manageable & in control again- and you appreciate every moment of being here!
Be somebody's polka dot today. Call, share a joke. Laughter is powerful medicine to a discouraged soul. Send a card. Share a recipe. Sit in the porch swing together, go for a walk, grab a milkshake, take a trip to the flea market. God's promises to us are sure & steadfast, just like the rainbow. But sometimes the journey has been long through our flood & we need a brother / sister in Christ to remind us this cloud won't last forever. Polka dots will come again.
