Have you ever had a gloomy day in the office? It's raining and the window view of the gray stormy clouds can have the most subtle affect on your general mood bringing you slightly down in energy, and reflective at thought.
As I left the office that one rainy evening during the summer season, I was doing some personal reflection, and things felt pretty lower than usual in my mood. But then I looked up into sky, and I felt a sense of relief and kindness, and a warm glow in my heart grew as I noticed a double rainbow smiling back at me. I'm not sure what it is about rainbows, but since my childhood rainbows have always cheered me up instantly. When people asked me what my favorite color was I always said "I love rainbows," and what my favorite ice cream was, "I love the rainbow ice cream" (which was really sherbet mix). Anyone who knows me, knows that I love dressing in bright colors too!
For me rainbows give off a feeling of magic. I like to imagine that it's God, up in the skies looking down on me and reminding me he loves me. Even after a brutal rain storm His calming presence is still there. In that moment as I looked at that rainbow, I realized that one must endure the dark storm to enjoy the colorful light. At times, the good in life must come hand in hand with bearing and surpassing the burdens of the not so good things.
"No matter the storm at the end of the day, a rainbow will brighten and lighten the way."
