HOW TO FIND A RAINBOW
Posted on August 25, 2014 at 4:54 PM |
I was up at
Look Rock Tower last week seeking renewal and refreshment after a very long but
productive week. I was waiting for the
sun to burn off the haze of an early morning fog that had laced the mountain
range.
I noticed a
wind had whipped up that swayed the trees and the already dense fog turned ominously
darker and the temperatures dropped as will happen right before a storm. My heart skipped a beat as I knew that I was
at the “top of the world” looking 360 degrees from North Carolina to Maryville
around to Knoxville over to Townsend and back to North Carolina. Surely, I thought, after the storm comes and
the rains start to subside, I will see a rainbow. And never a better place to find one. So, as I settled down and waited for the
storm to come, I remembered the lesson that I learned a few years ago about
finding a rainbow after the storm. Here are a
few clues for finding a rainbow. First
of all you have to look for them and trust that they are going to be
there. Look toward the sun when finding
a rainbow. Rainbows appear when the sun comes out after a
storm. And the sun always comes out
after a storm. It has since the
beginning of time and it will continue to come out until the end time. As surely as the sun rises and sets, it
appears after the storm clouds start to subside and dissipate. You don’t always have to wait for the rains
to completely come to a standstill to see a rainbow as the sun sometimes shines
before the rains cease. Look through the
droplets. Sometimes the biggest rain
droplets come at the very end which makes the colors of the rainbow even more
vivid and brilliant. And sometimes you
will find a double rainbow! Well, back this
supposed storm I had been waiting on for an hour and a half. A fog had completely settled on Look Rock
Tower and I was confused as to why the action had settled down. I was sitting in the midst of cold, damp fog
waiting to find my rainbow when a ranger came up the ramp and I asked if there
was storm brewing. He said that there
was no storm front expected and that I was actually sitting in the middle of a
cloud! I told him about the
manifestation of what I thought was a pending storm and he told me that is what
happens when a cloud settles.
I had no
idea that a cloud had any activity associated with it. I just looked at them as white fluffy patches
of water that brought great delight in imaginings of shapes or gray ominous
patches that brought promises of rainbows.
I had just been given a gift of experiencing a cloud gently yet with
great power surround me like a mantel around my shoulders. How fortunate can a gal get? What I have
to take from this day of renewal is the reminder that rainbows appear after
storms. And I can count on the fact that
there is never just one storm over the course of a life time. As I grow older it seems like the storms can get
a little more angry and the rains pelt down with a sting that can be welting.
I have come to
learn to accept that fact. I have to
realize that the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow can be found. Sometimes the gold is in the form of a friend
that walks with you through the storm and assures you that you will come
through even though they are walking through a storm of their own. Or a simple gesture of a friend who cares
enough to have heard you didn’t make your coffee that morning and hands you a
cup to stave off a headache due to lack of caffeine.
Gold comes
in the form of patients I meet every day whose courage humbles me. Gold comes in the form of nurses, doctors,
administrators, healthcare professionals and food service workers whom I serve
with all working together for the common good.
Gold comes in the form of family and friends I see waiting diligently and
patiently for their loved ones to return home. All I can do
is to encourage you to keep your face to the sun. Find that rainbow. Your circumstances might not change. Your heartache and grief may still be
magnified. But I believe that we all will
find a way through the storm. Don’t be foolish
as this gal to think that we can walk through this life alone. I have also learned there are sojourners along
the way named friend who can help lift my face toward the sun when I can’t lift
my own. Love them with all of your
heart. Revel in their friendship and never
take advantage of this golden gift from God. Friends are put into our lives for a reason, a
season or a life time. It doesn’t matter
for how long as we only have this moment in time. We only have NOW.

Wisdom!
Indeed, there is a rainbow always after the rain. There is happiness after the sadness. There will always be joy after the sufferings. We may not see the rainbow when we are in the phase of trials, but we should always that the sun will always shine after all of these, and we can look for the rainbow. For these trials test our faith to the Lord, and it will surely make us stronger and better than before. We just have to keep on believing that the rainbow will come, even if it seems not.
