Chasing Rainbows

A couple nights ago, Davin and I were out shopping when a fairly large storm hit. After 20 minutes of heavy rain, there was enough of a break to make it to the car. As I was loading up the car, Davin noticed a large rainbow that looked close to us. In his excitement he said we should go find the end of the rainbow. I figured, it wouldn't hurt. So off we went chasing the rainbow. As we crossed a main intersection, Davin noticed that the rainbow appeared to be touching the top of a book store building. He insisted that we stop and go in to investigate. No sooner was he out of his car seat than was in the store. He went running in saying "there is a rainbow in your store, a rainbow" then insisted on finding it. As I explained what was going on to the nice clerks, Davin started yelling "I found the rainbow". I thought to myself, kidding me? Next thing I know. He found a Noah Ark book that really looked like a rainbow was actually caught in the book. So excited, he asked the clerks if he could buy the book or if they needed to have the rainbow in the store. Of course they told him he could buy it, so I pulled out a gift card to that particular store that I won a couple days prior. Amazingly, it was for the exact amount. So to make a long story short, we are now the proud owners of a rainbow that we found. I guess it is out little pot of gold.

That is so cute! What a cool mom you are. It's a good reminder for me to "chase rainbows" with my kids.

That is one of the most darling stories I have ever heard! It seriously sounds like it should be in a book or something. I loved reading it and laughed right out loud a couple of times. You're such a good mom and a great example to me! I'm glad I have great people to look up to! We hope to come and visit you guys soon!!!

That's a beautiful story, Jen. You are a remarkable mom for chasing rainbows and that is a tender mercy of the Lord about the book and the gift card. Thanks for that story!
