I spent some time at a friend's house this afternoon with the kids, sitting on the porch with the sun warming my back. It was absolutely beautiful out. We started getting ready to head out and it started to DOWNPOUR out of nowhere. My friend came out with her umbrella and walked Sam to the van while I ran with the baby. Within just a couple short minutes, we were all soaked. The carseats got wet just opening the doors.
When we got home, we ran inside and I was so wet I had to change.... Des looked out the back door and told me that there was a big hole of sun shining through the dark clouds. I took a look and had to share...
Is it just me, or is it strange how many times there have been heart-shaped 'holes of sun' out my back door?? Gray clouds, rain and sunshine can and do coexist.... and somewhere, there was a rainbow.
On August 4, 2010 our hearts broke as we heard the Dr. say "she has anencephaly...these babies don't live" at our 19 wk ultrasound. The Dr. is wrong. Our precious daughter's time on earth may be short, but she will live for eternity with our Lord in heaven. During the few months we have her here with us, we intend to make the most of every second of it. Our hope is that she will leave behind more than a few short memories, but that she will leave a legacy of what it means to hope in Jesus.
It's the reminder that we need from God to let us know that He hasn't forgotten :)
ReplyDeleteThere was a rainbow in Portsmouth last night when I walked out of school. By the way I wanted to tell you I have been seeing daisies everywhere. I think of Rachel every time now.
ReplyDeleteI think I saw the cloud that belonged in your heart shaped hole! After leaving you yesterday, we went to Rachel's playground. We were ther for about 40min and could see the dark rain clouds moving in. Out of nowhere, Ava shouts "Look Mel! Look at that cloud, it looks like a heart!" She was right! It was a beautiful white cloud floating in the clear blue sky. I just stood there and stared at it floating above. I wish I could've gotten a picture, but I was in awe that it came right over her playground. I am forever amazed at how he takes care of His children!
