Rain and Rainbows

In retrospect, the last few weeks have been a little rough.

We have taken two of the boys to the ER,

a friend of Jackie Boy's broke his wrist on a bike at our house, and

there were some baseball politics and poor judgment by Board Members that resulted in a not so fun situation. 

They later admitted they were wrong.

There has been almost endless rain,

a fireman who is a friend was laid off the department

and a few days ago Little Bear got into a bottle of vitamins.

He didn't ingest any.

But I was sick to my stomach all day long, worrying he could possibly have iron poisoning.
We also found out a loved one has cancer.

It has felt like a deluge of trouble.
I finally realized that I feel like we are under some kind of attack.

Do you ever feel like that?

But with rain, you get rainbows.

And this beauty was right outside my window the other day

looking close enough to touch.

Praying for restoration and healing for our friends and family...
and peaceful, warm weeks ahead.
