A Fireworks Display of Rainbows

After that touching story of the child whom we just spent the afternoon taking care of, we had a few more admissions at the hospital. Afterward, we wandered on the main dirt road outside the hospital through the town of Nalerigu, strolling past a few mud-structured stores before we headed back to our house on the hospital property. We spent some time on the porch as we usually do with the village kids and then headed across the field to the room where this computer is located. On our way here, I looked up at the sky as I often do and was dumbfounded, as the girls here have learned, at the sight of multiple rainbows canvassed in patches under the sun.

I thought of God having many promises under the sun or under the Son. This is the time of day that 2000 years ago "it was finished." Of course, why not see such brilliance in the sky here in Ghana for us to be completely baffled by what our Creator has done for us. Christ is the very fulfillment of a "promise" or a new covenant, which is what God used a rainbow to symbolize for Noah many years ago.

I stood in amazement, and so did Rachel and Jodi. Just under the brilliant sun light shining through the several patches of rainbows came Cheney walking toward us. We pointed for him to look up and all he could say was "Hallelujah!" The rainbows disappeared and kept re-appearing in different shapes. I really have no idea, but simply accept and share what we saw.

We have an amazing Savior who, with such love for us, did something that nobody in the universe, except Him, could possibly accomplish.
