New Every Morning
We awoke to this one morning this week and I just knew it was for me! Our first winter here, I was feeling rather down and feeling like this country that we had moved to would never see the light of the sun again for all the rain! Then the next morning as I stood looking out our kitchen window, over the church graveyard, the biggest, brightest, most beautiful rainbow I've ever seen was right there over our little tiny flat. I cried. I can't imagine how Noah felt on the ark after all the rain. I know that the rain we experience is nothing like that, but it sure felt like it the first few months we were here! I knew that rainbow was for me and God was reminding me that He was near, very near. So this week I began feeling a bit down again while trying to get everything prepared for leaving tomorrow. I didn't ask God for anything, just that He would near. And this HUGE rainbow was over our house one morning this week. I ran out in our back garden with the girls, all in our pj's, and just about cried again. I pray you feel that He is very near to you this week. Thank you Lord that your mercies are new every morning!
