A Little Like Noah's Rainbow


We have had an incredibly dry winter here.  We’ve all been asked for months by our church leaders to be praying for moisture.  Well, this past week we had an answer in a big way.  In about 24 hours we got about 9 inches of snow here in our little town.  I am sure there was much more on the mountains behind us still covered in white. 
 
I was thinking about this today.  Heavenly Father could have just made it rain and rain and rain.  That is what you would normally expect in April.  But no…this time he sent snow.  And even though it warmed up into the 40s as soon as the snow stopped falling and the snow started to melt very quickly and soak into our dry ground (it really amazed me how few puddles we saw around,) up in the mountains where we can see it everytime we step outside is a reminder of God’s mindfulness of us and our prayers.  As I took a walk on Saturday in the beautiful warm sunshine I kept finding my eyes drawn up toward the mountains and the snow that will keep reminding me of God’s love and blessings. 
 
It’s a little like Noah’s rainbow isn’t it?
