Every day it rains here. Usually the rain occurs just as I am leaving the school with Cade to go home for his afternoon nap. When I say rain, I mean torrential downpour! I call it "La Tormenta". We have had several of these and have learned to adjust to the fact that the rest of our afternoons will be spent inside (kind of like most of our day was spent inside in class).
It has posed a few little inconveniences for the kids when they need to run around and get their sillies out. Cade came in the living room after getting buck naked and covering himself in diaper cream the other day. (I'll save those pictures later for his humiliation as a teenager :).
Anyway, the other day as we were finally getting dried out Ken said, "Hey, the sky looks kind of funny doesn't it?" Now anyone from the tornado belt does not like to hear that comment because it usually indicates impending doom, but this was a different kind of funny, so we went outside our casa to look. Sure enough there was a purple sky with a huge beautiful rainbow! What a pleasant surprise. It was a reminder to us of God's promise. The rain will not last forever, the flood waters will recede, and God will give us a new day.
Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. Lamentations 3:23

How beautiful! I was just singing that song about 10 min ago to the youngest! Hope you dry out soon and continue looking for His promises!

I love the comment 'getting the sillies out'. Lyndsey Maren (now 16 months) seems to be getting hers out by covering herself in the dirt from the flower pots on the porch and seeing how much will stack on her head! I bet our Father gets some great laughs at our sillies too!
