A Photo a Week Challenge: Rainbow

Utah has had a very dry July. As a desert, we do experience monsoons starting in late July through mid-August. However, this beautiful, full rainbow (with a hint of a double in the upper-left corner) came in early June during our last real storm before yesterday.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Sunshine

sunshine_nmp

We have a popular hymn at our church called There Is Sunshine In My Soul. I love the words to the first verse:

There is sunshine in my soul today,
More glorious and bright
Than glows in any earthly sky,
For Jesus is my light.

This song reminds me to find light even on cloudy days.

This last weekend, we visited our daughter and son-in-law in Chicago. As a surprise, we took our son with us. It was his first trip to Chicago, and our daughter didn’t know we were bringing him. The kids have had a difficult year. Their mom was killed in August, and they’ve struggled to find any sunshine through their grief and pain. This weekend helped me to know that they will make it through and help each other as they navigate these new waters.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Glowing

Sun shining through curly blond hair

There are times when a picture really is worth a thousand words. This little cutie was sitting in the perfect place at a family wedding for me to grab this shot of her with the sun shining through her wildly fantastic curls.
