The tiny white bird flew through the middle of the rainbow - red, green, yellow, purple-spread across a soft blue sky. As the little bird floated on by, the rainbow colors drifted onto his long tail and he chirped. His head remained white but now his feathers were as colorful as the rainbow itself. His yellow beak curved into a smile as he continued his journey across the sky.
Though the little rainbow bird was merely a bright picture painted on white poster board, I loved it and the message printed near the bottom, “Believe in you and you’ll come through with flying colors.” I hung the poster on the door to my workshop where it spoke to my heart every time I looked at it. How I needed to be reminded of that message! How many times had I not followed through with a goal - lose more weight, finish a project around the house, write a story - because I lost belief and faith in myself and floundered. I wished I could fly through a rainbow, especially the one that appears after a particularly hard storm.
Then a dear friend, who was struggling with a life threatening illness but still had a great faith in life, gave me a tiny, heart-shaped prism which I hung in my kitchen window between the white curtains. Everyday when the sun came up and shined through that little heart, several, miniature rainbows, the size of a dime, emerged and danced on the white walls and even on the kitchen table. I caught my breathe when I touched one of the sunny rainbows and the beautiful colors moved onto my fingers. I felt a tiny stirring of hope deep in my soul. God was sending gentle, colorful reminders to believe in myself and in Him.
