As we headed for our 3 monthly blood test and check, we were greeted by a full and beautiful rainbow [a full complete semi circle] that left everyone in the car awestruck. My exclamations prompted Sarah to ask: “You never saw this before?” And to that I could only reply, “No”. I have never in my life witness the full glory of a rainbow but now I have, with my beloved family.
The rainbow is a wonderful reminder of God’s faithfulness and love in my life.
You would think that by now, I would have gotten used to my 3 monthly checkup. On the contrary, each checkup seems weightier each time. Weightier because I want to be there for Sarah and Samuel as they grow fast and furious, I want to be there when they cackle with delight, when they throw their tantrum and fold their arms, when they hurt with sadness, when they just want a cuddle or snuggle in our beds...I want to be there for Daniel as he fights his battles. And I haven’t even started on the rest of the family whom I love dearly. I can’t deny it, the stakes get higher each time. Everything that everyone takes for granted in their life, I can’t.
But you know what, I have come to realize that it is all for good.
As Daniel’s text came in - ca 125 6.3. Tears of gratitude welled up. The opportunity to do the things I love and am made to do is extended yet again.
What a God! What a rainbow!
