A rainbow always brings to us a blessed promise . . . a promise of hope

It brings us an assurance that after the storm has blown over and come into its calm -

or even during the storm - there will not only be the return of a single light —

as when the sun breaks through the dark of night at the dawn of a new day —

but there will be myriads of colors of light. . . the full spectrum of rainbow colors!

It is a promise that always are there myriads of blessings that will proceed from out of

the most difficult storms of life!
