Last Thursday my aunt collapsed at home (alone) and I had to have the fire dept. break down a door to get in the house and have to taken to the ER. What I had relished in a nice, relaxing, 3 day weekend turned into trip after trip to the hospital. Sunday, before church, my visit was very disappointing as it appeared her mental state was worsening from the trauma her brain sustained a few days before. After church I didn't have the heart to go back to the hospital yet. Instead I went home and sat on my couch and shed some more tears for my aunt. I felt myself sliding into some self-pity muck and was so ashamed for turning it into something about me. I felt God whisper "look up" and so I lifted my eyes and there on my ceiling was a RAINBOW. Not just a prism of colors in a random shape, an arched rainbow. I couldn't believe my eyes. I knew the light was coming in the closed blinds just right and hitting a CD laying on the table causing it to reflect this beautiful sight but that CD has been there for weeks and this is the FIRST time I have seen a rainbow reflected. God was telling me "this storm will pass and you will see the rainbow again". And my visit with my aunt a few hours later was my answered prayer as she had made a marked improvement in her mental state. I firmly believe God answers all prayers and not always the way we hope he will. Today I am grateful for the prayers to be answered the way we had desperately hoped.
