The Rainbow In The Clouds

By Mary Skoglie

I was in a bad mood that day, waiting for a bus.  The sky was cloudy with a little sunshine.  I looked up into the clouds around the sun and noticed GORGEOUS colors of the rainbow all around the sun.  It got me to thinking, if we can see colors this beautiful here on a messed-up planet, just imagine the literal colors we will see in Heaven, an unspoiled treasure yet to come!   How very beautiful and wonderful Heaven will be, in all ways. 

I looked away when I finally had to.  My mood still wasn't the best but it was better.  In beholding the beauty around the sun, I thought more about the SON.  I thought more about Heaven, something I don't do often enough.  If I was this blown away by some beautiful colors in clouds around the sun, how blown away will I be in Heaven with the Son of God and the most beautiful and perfect surroundings I could never even dream of? 

I need to think about the Son more.  I need to think about Heaven more.  God blew me away.  He took this anti-social, moody person and got her thinking about the life to come.  That only happens when we focus on the Lord Almighty, or when He ministers to us.  He is indeed the Lord.  Not just because of the beauty around the sun, of course.  But because He is the very One Who created this beauty.  And the unspeakable beauty to come.
