There's nothing much more beautiful than Eastern Kentucky in the fall. The hills are golden and auburn and flaming red, with just enough dark green interspersed. This is especially true on a gloomy day, when the sun doesn't come out and the sky is steel gray, and then, out of nowhere, there's a ray of sun that highlights just the top of the hills so they seem like they are glowing... on fire, full of glorious light.
And then, out of nowhere, starting small and growing more brilliant, it's there.
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet...
The rainbow, hovering over the hills as the sunlight from no visible sun shines on those glorious colors.
The sun's there, it's just hidden behind the clouds.
Just a few raindrops, and there's that brilliant stretch of color reminding me of God's promises. They're true and they are yes and Amen.
Even when you can't see the makings of God's promises... even when you can't figure out how they're going to come true...
They are there.
And He knows.
And what a sunset came after this... but I was drying dishes with my Mom at my Papaw's house and didn't get a pic.
So, today, November 2, I'm thankful for hidden promises and visible rainbows and glorious fall foliage, for my Papaw and for Bible study (finally made it on a Monday!!!) with the girls from PPC, for my inheritance and His presence.
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow...
For His grace is always sufficient.
This month I'm being intentional about being grateful and sharing my thankfulness here in this blog and on Facebook and Instagram. I also came across a 30 day Scripture challenge, and I'd love to invite you to join me in it... Click the link to see 30 days worth of scripture on thankfulness.
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever.
