Eyes

We had planned on doing several errands after Church, so hurried home to change clothes and pick up the to do list. After several days of beautiful high clouds and blue sky, we were treated to a rather overcast day with the sun shining through occasionally. My husband was driving and I sat back just gazing upward. As the grey clouds scudded across the sky my eyes caught something that I had never seen before. I asked my husband to pull over to the side of the road, and look upward. We watched as one grey cloud seemed to hasten it speed northward, and expose a patch of blue and then a white cloud came into view. Inside the white cloud a rainbow was exposed that held colors of pink, green, orange, reddish orange, blue, green, and lavender that were blended together. As we watched the cloud seemed to compose a ripple effect like the water in a brook. We both sat in awe until another dark cloud came over it and covered the beauty of what we were seeing. To have the eyes to see the splendor of Gods creation is something I will forever be grateful for.
