looking through the photos I have actually imported into my new (as of September) computer and I saw this one.
LOVE this photo. It was taken in Colorado this summer out in front of Cascade Lodge, the place where "the friday night group" as we refer to ourselves, spent a week. (35 people..19 kids...all in one place...you imagine it!)
It rained, plans for the day were postponed, we all sat around and ended up having a day of conversations, talking about what we'd been learning as believers, sharing books: Jody Picoult's My Sister"s Keeper and The Shack, listening to ipods, making string bracelets, and brownies...
then it appeared... this amazing double rainbow that spanned the horizon. There in the middle of nowhere in the Colorado mountains, without anything manmade to obstruct it's view...these two rainbows. The whole place was stilled.
As I looked out and saw Kaden standing there in awe, these words that I have sung to him every single night for the past two years (except in Decembers when I sing him to sleep with traditional Christmas carols)came to mind:
"Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue. And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true".
Kaden and the promises God has given me with rainbows were all brought together in that perfect moment, surrounded by friends that are still connected 20 years after we were all in a Friday night Bible Study. God has been good.
