A Promising Christmas

Christmas Day began with a bang -- a few unbelievably loud claps of thunder. It was a mystery when it happened, as the sky was clear and sunny to the south, where I was gazing out the window. But then I crossed the kitchen and looked to the north, where there was a torrential downpour and a double rainbow. I can't explain how my soul soars when I see an arc of color splashed across the sky like that, but I can tell you it was the best gift of the day.
