I wonder, sometimes, how many people step out of the grocery store, into the sunshine, and ask, "Where's the rainbow?" Maybe, it's just me, but I love rainbows, and when I get that combination of elements, I start searching!
I looked. I didn't see it. Not enough rain, I decided.
So I loaded my groceries, and headed back to finish my reading for my class. The drops were heavier on my windshield, and as I turned to look for oncoming traffic before turning onto the main road, there it was.
BEAUTIFUL!
It was bright! Deep, rich colors that lasted and lasted. For nearly ten minutes, I watched the rainbow over my left shoulder.
It doubled at one point. At another moment, I noticed it had made the complete arch. I don't know that I've seen a complete arch before, but tonight, I did.
Periodically, I say "I should carry my camera with me", and this was definitely one of those moments. I snapped a few shots with my phone. Compared to the real thing, they were incomplete.
They didn't capture it - not at all.
Thank You God for the undeniable rainbow and for Your undeniable presence in my life.

What are the odds?
So... yes, I know we've been having this crazy mix of rain and sunshine here lately. And...as you might imagine, that is perfect rainbow weather.
I have seen rainbows twice this week. The first one - a double - I saw after a long day of physically hard work. I was quietly walking the dog, unwinding a little bit.
The second, was at the church, mid-week. I was talking with my aunt on the phone. I was catching up with her when I looked up, and there, stretching from my favorite stand of trees to the top the church building, was another.
I find comfort in the fact that both occurred at the end of long, difficult days, where I was trying to rest, relax and regroup.
They brought peace, and joy and hope. The remind me of the beauty that just pops up in this world from time to time. Sometimes unexpected - though, sometimes, we learn the signs and begin to search.
They remind me that in the midst of my crazy life here on this earth, God is present and all is well.
