A moment

I walk out to my car and realize I've forgotten my ipod, but instead of returning to get it I turn on the radio instead. The christian station is playing a song that fits perfectly with the gently falling raindrops. As I pull away from the house the combination of the music and the rain make me feel happier about driving to work on a day that I'd rather enjoy from home. I come to the first stop sign at the edge of my neighborhood and sit just to survey the wonder before me. The rain clouds stretch from the far east on my right, to just above the skyline to the west. The has just dropped below the cloud cover and the effect is beautiful. The sky to my left is a pale gold fading gradually to a steel gray and finally to the dark blue of the rain cloudsin the east. Stretching before me is a beaten road whose end I can just see. The rain is falling gently and as I begin my drive down that road I notice a rainbow on my right and I feel as though God is saying, "The road may end but there is hope for those who trust in Me."
