Rainbow Blessings

Anyone who has been tracking with our blog for awhile knows that we prefer the rainy season over the dry season here in Tanzania. During the dry season, when rain completely stops for months, the dust becomes thick on the roads and paths, the grass turns brown, and the wind carries dust and debris into the buildings and your eyes, ears, nose and throat. Almost worst of all, you have to carry river water for your daily needs.

The rainy season brings life to the farms and settles the dust. With nearly daily rains, you can catch all the water you want off of the roof. Almost best of all, however, are the frequent rainbows we get to enjoy. When the sun comes out after a shower, someone will usually say, “Bet there’s a rainbow,” and we’ll walk outside to stand in awe of God’s faithfulness.

“Mercy drops ‘round us are falling, but for the showers we pray.”

In God’s grace and service,
