And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood and destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of the earth." So God said to Noah, "This is the covenant I have established between me and all life on earth." (NIV) (Genesis 9: 12-17)

Rainbow as seen from our front porch, Wednesday, August 05, 2020. That was the morning of our 58th wedding anniversary--what good timing. God has blessed us so much but we sometimes need a reminder of His presence in every situation--the good times, as well as the storms of life. Even today, we are living in a challenging world situation with the confidence and assurance our story of life will someday have a happy ending.
