View from the Airplane

On a recent trip this was my first view out of the airplane window....


As I approached the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, the clouds changed and this is what I saw....




And then the clouds changed again and I saw the  shadow of our airplane totally encircled by a rainbow... 



This rainbow was such an apt reminder to me that afternoon of God's love for me and how His very presence is with me everywhere I go.

Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
            -Psalm 139:7-10

  5. I love looking at different clouds from aeroplanes. It's one of the few good things about flying. The rainbow is amazing - I wonder if it's there because of the plane or whether it's there anyway.
