Rainbow

Posted By on March 12, 2010

I had just gotten back in from the barn today when it started to pour. I thought to myself how luck I was to be back in before it unleashed. It was still pretty out so it was hard to believe that it was raining. Then I remembered the egg basket on the back porch. I had set it on the table on the porch to talk on the phone. We don’t get cell coverage in the house so to use the cell I have to step outside. Anyway, when I went out to retrieve the eggs I just happened to glance over to the goat yard and saw this.

I don’t think I have ever seen a more colorful rainbow.

When I see rainbows I think of Noah and how anxious and overworked he must of felt. How he must have felt to see the promise of God displayed like that. We too have been through a bit of a storm around here. With the first time for a goat to go into labor and have it go so terribly wrong and trying to nurse her back to health. As stressful as all that was I am grateful to God for all the things that went right that weekend. It was very comforting to know that the creator God has everything in his control and for his purpose.

Y’all come back now!

About the author

I am a work at home Mom of two of the best boys ever. I am a Nationally Certified Master Groomer and have been grooming out of my home for the last 12 years. We have recently moved to Greenbrier Tn on 27 acres. We are new to the "homesteading thing" but we are excited to learn. We hope to be filling our farm with many critters and a garden. We are homeschoolers so everything is a unit study to us. It has been fun to see the boys help Dad cut firewood. We will also be learning how to build a chicken coop in the near future as well. I have been making handcrafted soap lately as well and I am seeing an improvement in that business as well. It is all natural vegetable and goat milk based soaps. Can't wait to share this experience with everyone.
