Color

I was privileged to behold one of the most brilliant rainbows I have ever seen the other day while I was sitting in my deer stand. I was situated under a pine tree in the rain and was thinking how much fun I was having in the wind and rain when all of a sudden the sun dropped low enough on the horizon to illuminate the ground under the clouds. The most vibrant orange struck my eyes from the color in the leaves and the contrast of the dark clouds above. In an instant, a rainbow formed. The rainbow was a massive rainbow with a twin counterpart that wasn't quite as bright, but was still beautiful. Friends of mine from church saw the twin bows from as far as 20 miles away. It was huge. As the sun finished its course toward sunset, the rainbow intensified in an ebbing and flowing brilliance that is not soon to be compared. I was awe struck and amazed at the beauty of it and could not help but thank God for the color he placed in nature. I think part of the reason the color was so bright was because of the dark clouds that had been pouring rain. There's no doubt in my mind that God's blessing shines the brightest when we're in our darkest hour. There's probably another lesson in that, but you'll have to figure that one out!
