And God said, This is the token of the covenant between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations. I do set my bow in the cloud and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring the cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud; And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.(KJV) (Genesis 9; 12-15)

My View for the Month: I grew up on a farm in the hill country of western Iowa.A full RAINBOW was a special occurrence and truly a thing of beauty. It was a family thing. My parents would take us to the back yard to enjoy this beauty of nature.I am so thankful some things never change! I don't get to the farm very often anymore, but my friend Eric O'Connell (O'Connell Farms) sent me the photo above. Now, as I look back, I know (and my parents knew) a rainbow appearance was not just a happenstance--there is a message here. I am reminded of the trustworthiness of God's promises in this world of uncertainties
