The Sky

As we entered Matagalpa, yesterday afternoon, we were greeted by the most beautiful rainbow I've ever seen. It was a complete arc showing the full spectrum of colors. The rainbow was truly special and the reaction on the bus was also.
Our work day had been blessed with just enough rain to keep the temperature comfortable for the work we were doing. San Jose is ringed by tree-covered ridges so the rain and the mist rolled in with very little notice. I found myself looking towards the sky, frequently, to get a clue of what the weather was going to do next.
Today, we will work on putting the roof on the home we've been building. The sky comes to mind again as we will work to put a structure in place to shelter the family from the weather.
Work has been very good and the fellowship afterwards as well. The Youth have included me in a card game called "SPOONS". It has been the source of a lot of laughter. It is the first card game I've played in which I ended up rolled to the floor. (The Youth take their SPOONS game very seriously!)
