Her: "Mommy, where's the rainbow?"
Me: <raising my head off of the pillow to see what time it is>: "There is no rainbow right now...it's dark outside."
Her: "Mommy, where's the sun?"
Me: <confused and almost irritated by the fact that it's so early and she's awake>: "The sun is not out right now...it's still dark outside, the sun will come out in the morning."
<she takes my arm into hers, wraps it around her neck and goes back to sleep>
I am not exactly sure why, so early in the morning, she felt the urge to question the presence of a rainbow and the sun, but after replaying the conversation over and over today it's brought me to this conclusion:
Despite the perceived stresses and negative things that may be going on, the rainbow reminds us of God's infinite mercy and promise that He would never again destroy the "earth" with a "flood"; and too...THE SUN WILL SHINE AGAIN!
I'm encouraged!
Thanks Chandler :-)
