This morning's walk

So, this morning I went for another walk. It's becoming routine. That's beside the point, though.

It was sunny and slightly rainy, which meant there was a rainbow. It made me think about God's promise from Genesis 9. It also made me think about my trip to Armenia in 2007. When we went to Khor Virap (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khor_Virap), it rained a little bit. On our way back to the city, there was this gorgeous rainbow. What an incredible experience to be in Armenia, be able to see Mt. Ararat (where Noah's ark landed according to Genesis 8) AND have a rainbow appear. Can you imagine? It was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Now, I've seen plenty of rainbows since 2007. More than I can count on my fingers. Today's rainbow, though, hit me a little differently than the others. I can't explain how or why, but today was a glorious moment where God and His grace felt more real than ever, as it did in Armenia. I'm sure my friend Christy also has good memories from that trip. I remember the day we saw the rainbow being a meaningful day for her.

I'm so thankful for God and His grace. What would I do without it? How could I live my life if I didn't know about His wonderful, loving grace? It amazes me to realize that there are people who don't know Him. How can they not see Him in everything around them? It's so clear to me, and I thank God for these regular reminders. :)
