Saying what we FEEL (Part 1)

the one year old boy saw a rainbow.  he jumped up and down, pointing and laughing.  his one year old buddy played in the sand, dumping sand on his head.  the boy who saw the rainbow ran to the boy in the sand and touched him on the shoulder, jumping up and down, pointing to the rainbow.  sand boy kept dumping sand on his head.  rainbow boy ran to a girl coming down the slides.  rainbow boy touched slide girl on the shoulder, jumping up and down, pointing at the rainbow.  slide girl went back up the slide and came down.  rainbow boy went to another boy in the fire truck. he pulled fire truck boy out of the fire truck, jumping up and down, pointing to the rain bow.  fire truck boy jumped up and down, pointing with him, both laughing.  from that day on, fire truck boy and rainbow boy played together, best friends.

I got out of my car at the grocery store and saw a rainbow in the sky.  It was a perfect circle of beautiful color, right in the middle of the sky.  I looked around to see if anyone else noticed it.  No one did.  I stood and watched in awe of God's creativity and glory, remembering the  biblical story.  I tried to get someones attention who got out of her car, but she kept walking.  I tried again.  Ignored.  I tried once more.  He stopped, looked, smiled, and went into the grocery store.

Perhaps the rainbow was only for me.  But the joy I felt became words, and the words sought ears..
