On April 16, I checked the weather, and a storm was predicted for our area. I told the kids about it, and we anxiously awaited the storm. They kept saying, "A 'torm is coming." Over and over and over. And I reminded myself that next time I shouldn't tell them that a storm is coming until it is closer to the predicted time. I also talked to them about how God makes the thunder and lightening, and storms, so there was no reason to be scared of them. When Matt got home, we watched from the front window as the clouds and wind rolled in. Unfortunately, we were disappointed because it only rained, and there was no thunder or lightening. We could see the sun start poking out through the clouds, and Matt and I thought it was perfect rainbow weather. We moved to the back of the house, out on the porch to try to see a rainbow. Sophie told me, "Mama make a rainbow." I told her I couldn't make rainbows, and asked her who makes the rainbows. She told me, "God." At that very instant, a huge rainbow opened up in the sky behind our house. It was breathtaking and amazing. God certainly did make a beautiful rainbow for us!
