No, that's not a misspelling in the title. In stark contrast to my mood of earlier today, and despite the fact I am physically exhausted from moving heavy stuff out of storage (in a torrential downpour and lightning storm) and up and down stairs (and I am so glad I had my nephew around to help with all of this, he was my hero today), tonight I got a little message from God that has shifted my energy for the better.
There's a full DOUBLE rainbow outside my house right this minute. I can see both arcs, the inner one more brilliant than the outer, from end to end. It's unbelievable, and so beautiful. If I had the right kind of digital camera I would take a photo of it and post it, because I don't know that I've ever seen a double rainbow. I can't help but smile as I look at it through my window (I keep stopping as I write this to check if it's still there - and it is!) I even saw some neighbors with their kids out in the middle of the street, staring at it in wonderment.
I'm taking this as God's way of telling me to lighten up... that after the storm (garage sale) the sun comes out again and makes things beautiful. I'm achy, I'm tired, but I'm not dreading the next 3 days as much as I was earlier. Thanks for the reminder, God. I hear you.
