Shortly after blowing out her candles, Taylor came running into the house telling us there was an amazing rainbow outside.
Amazing is a gross understatement.
Seriously.
I have never seen a rainbow like it.
The colors were so vibrant and strong that it took my breath away.
I yelled for the kids to go tell the neighbors while I went back inside for my camera.
Camera's don't pick up rainbows all that well. Even when you can see one quite clearly, it often looks pale and almost invisible in a photo. So keep that in mind as you view the shots below. I didn't have a wide enough angle to get the entire rainbow--which stretched in a perfect arch across the sky. And then there was a double...
Yes! A double rainbow above the first! It was less vibrant but still beautiful.
As the sun began to set, the second rainbow disappeared but the original one stayed. The light totally changed as the last of the sun lingered and lit the clouds with gold.
So Molly.... God sent a beautiful double rainbow on your birthday, which makes me remember the verse He gave me for you before we knew who you would be:
"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a Hope and a Future." Jeremiah 29:11
We love you, sweet girl!!
