Miracle in the parking lot I've had a bad couple of days. Nothing major, just usual life plus pms plus some misunderstandings...I needed some encouragement.
I got it.[More:]

Hubby and I came out of Harris Teeter. It had been raining (brief thunderstorm) and it was starting to clear up. I looked around hoping to see a rainbow, but nothing but clouds and sky.

I told God I sure would like to see a rainbow.

The minute I said it I felt kinda silly. But many times over the years it seems I would see a rainbow at certain times of my life when I really needed to see one. I then told God it was okay, thanked Him for the others, and just reminded Him I liked them.

At that precise moment in the sky in front of me a very very faint rainbow materialized in front of me. I nudged my husband and as I did it got brighter and brighter. As we got in the car it was all I could do to keep from crying.

As we drove off it faded, as quickly as it had appeared.

Yeah, you may think this is silly, or coincidence, or whatever.

All I know is that I feel loved.
I understand. One of my hobbies is touring cemeteries. I was walking around a beautiful new one, and feeling melancholy. Both of my favorite grandparents were cremated and their ashes scattered, so I was feeling sad that I could not visit them. Bluesy, I made my was back to my car. Just as I got in, a red-tailed hawk landed in a tree not twenty feet from me. The same grandparents I was missing are also responsible for getting me hooked on birds, and I felt this was a sign that they were still near. It may be outlandish, but I certainly felt better.
