As I awoke this morning my first thoughts were on the agenda for the day, then quickly moved to the thought of it being my sister’s birthday.  This made me a little sad since we had plans together in Honduras today.  Within minutes of being sad about not being with my sister I looked out the window and saw a beautiful rainbow.  I have never been so close to a rainbow before and seen the end of one so clearly.  It was a beautiful reminder of God’s promises to us.  He never promised us for everything to be exactly what we want but he does promise us that we will receive blessings when we follow Him.  You see, when the trip to Honduras was first brought up I had no intention of going.  However, I kept feeling that God was nudging me to come. I surrendered to that nudging and now the blessings that I have received are too many to count – seeing children be fed when we thought there was no way the food would last,  talking with someone who feels defeated and has no hope and witnessing the joy and huge smile on their face when they accept Christ and know for certain where they will spend eternity, the difference being made in my oldest son’s life for being right where God wants him to be…and many, many more blessings that are too plentiful to count. I will be able to share all of these blessings with my sister upon our return to the states.  God will give us many other opportunities to share His love in other places…Happy Birthday, dear Amy!

As I end my day I am reminded of an earlier post and just want to say, How GREAT is our God!
