We Miss the Rainbow
©2004, Janet K. Poludniak
God put His bow around us,
so when the storms pass by
we would recall His promise
to hear our faintest cry.
But oft' we miss the rainbow,
‘cause our eyes are on the storm,
or we may fail to see it
‘cause our hearts with sin are worn.
We must fix our eyes on Jesus
whatever may be our plight,
and know that He will keep us
even through the darkest night.
Nothing is too hard for Him;
each promise He'll fulfill,
but we must trust Him and obey
when He says, "Child, be still!"
If we look for the rainbow,
we'll see it there—and more—
‘cause Jesus knows the way He leads,
He's traveled there before!
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual
"bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of
interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny
story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing
events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human
experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed
down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local
communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When
you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better
understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better
understand ourselves.
