Gold and God's promises...

Last summer we had lots of fires and we truly found out what was important - each other. Not our belongings - although Great Grandma's quilts, needlework and recipes are important in their own right.

Yesterday the call went out - one one of my other jobs is to take photographs, so I went. The fire wasn't bad - a lot of smoke really. But there was rain and lightning....which could cause even more fires. I decided to hit the road - sugar, sand, road - to get back to town. Here's what the Sandhills look like after a rain...and it was amazing.

Some of the most beautiful cloudscapes I've seen along with a double rainbow - God's promise.

This summer has been completely the opposite - not too hot. Moisture. Humidity - which is something not too common in the Sandhills area. But it's always better than fire. And most important - Gold!!! Yes, those round bales of hay the ranchers cut, rake and roll is gold for their livestock. How's this for something Gold at the end of the rainbow?

He's answered a lot of promises lately - not just for me but for family and friends. I'm eternally grateful my deer, deer Lord!!!
 Praying your summer is going well - and that you realize the prayers that He has answered for you as well. Because He's there and He does listen.
Thank YOU Lord.
