Noah's Rainbow

This morning a very dear lady who suffers from some serious diseases arose early and couldn't go back to sleep. So she got up, went to her chair to pray, and ended up praying for Noah's results to be okay today.

A few minutes later she felt prompted by the Spirit to go look out the window. Not the window she usually looks out. The other window. When she pulled back the curtains, a huge rainbow graced the sky. No rain. Just a beautiful, clear rainbow.

Noah's rainbow.

She knew to expect the call she got a few minutes later from my mom. She knew that Noah would be okay.

And he is! Praise the Lord, God has spared our son from cancer, and he is a healthy little boy with some overactive lymph nodes! The peace that God has provided the whole way through this trial has been in part from all the wonderful people who have prayed for us with compassion and love. We are so thankful for the grace of the Lord in giving us so many people who love our son. We are most thankful for the dear Lord who loves him more than we do. We know he will always be safe in our Father's hands.

And last night at dinner Noah prayed for the special lady that has been praying for him. We will never forget how important prayer is, and how much we need to pray for those who are suffering. Prayer changes things. I am now more convinced of this than ever.

And we will never forget about Noah's rainbow. This one, nor the one that the original Noah saw as he stepped out of the ark onto waterlogged, but dry ground. Noah will hear both stories, and he will learn to trust the Lord, and to trust His faithful promises.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promises. 2 Peter 3:9
