Rainbow :)

Spring is in the air and we are so thankful for the beautiful sunshine! Sometimes the sunshine comes after the rain, especially in the northwest, creating one of God's most beautiful creations: the rainbow. :)
In the Bible, after the flood, God placed a rainbow in the sky as a sign of His covenant to the earth.


In Genesis 9:12-13,


~Then God said, "I am giving you a sign of my covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all generations to come. I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth."


In the original Hebrew language, God used the word bow, which many people believe is to symbolize God putting down His weapon against the world. A rainbow is now a symbol of happiness and joy for all God's creation.
