Courtesy of my sister H. (Though the rainbow is breathtaking, the top of that hilltop brings deep emotions to the surface, as it is firmly etched in my mind as a spot I looked at every day for the first 18 years of my life.)
About a month ago on a brilliant day here in Japan, a dark cloud was directly overhead some friends and I as we walked to the post office. As the rain came down hard, we turned and looked and saw a perfect double rainbow... from end to end... and oh, so brilliant! It was just the pick-me-up and reminder of God's loving care that one friend needed that day.
And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
