19. Today I am grateful for rainbows

This has been my 6^th trip to Scotland but only my first time going to Northern Scotland and driving through the Highlands. It was so beautiful! Before today I thought that the driving through the mountains in British Columbia en route to Alberta was the most beautiful and it is. However, I have now concluded, based on my experiences that driving up the West Coast of Scotland, from Dumbarton to the Northern Highlands is the most beautiful. I am grateful for my uncle for driving us and allowing me to experience the magnificent beauty of the Highlands.

One of the things we saw was a beautiful rainbow. The beauty of this rainbow really impacted me, particularly because it came at the end of the storm. It reminded me of the rainbow Noah saw after the earth was flooded which symbolized the covenant made between God and all living creatures that the whole earth will never again be flooded. I love this scripture found in Genesis 9:16 which reads “And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth”. Every time I see a rainbow, I am also reminded me of a line from a primary song “I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain and ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again.”
