Why the title for this blog?

I struggle with staying positive in the sight of adversity. It is very easy for me to dwell on the negative aspects of my situation and miss the blessings that come from the trial and so I will use this blog to help me stay focused on the rainbows of my life.

A Gift of Hope

Today has been a fairly quiet day. We have had rain, freezing rain, and some snow. It has been mild and so Brian and I went out to the barn to give it a cleaning. The geese and the chickens enjoyed their time outdoors. While we were in the barn I heard voices outside so I went out to see who it was. It was the mailman. He was walking down our driveway with our mail. He had a box with him as well.
I told Brian and he went out to meet the mailman. Brian took the box inside and when I got to the house he told me it was from our oldest son, Steven and his wife, Diane. As it was addressed to me , I opened it up. Inside was a letter from Steve, which I will treasure, and a beautiful hand made quilt from Diane. The quilt is bright and cheerful.On one side it is yellow and on the other side it has a pattern of ladybugs and white daisies. I will cherish this quilt on the days that will seem unending. It will remind me of the times to come when I will be outside with nature again and enjoying all that God has created.
Thank you for your gift of love and hope! I love you with all my heart.
Mom
