I had a difficult day at work today, it wasn’t so much the technical side, in fact that part was easy but the implementation was the hard bit. One or two minor problems took an age to solve and really tested my patience. I often get problems at work, who doesn’t? It is often the little things that annoy and take up the time. When I got home my ex. confronted me with a problem she’s been dealing with. She is incapacitated and cannot work at the moment but she’d had an assessment recently by an NHS doctor who, in his opinion says she is able to work and that her support has been withdrawn as a result of his report. The thing is, she isn’t swinging the lead as it were and her own doctor agrees so she was asking me for advice in how to write a letter of complaint. She would dearly like to resume work but unfortunately at this time she is unfit, I should know, I have to run around after her at home! I know the NHS has to weed out the idlers but come on, when one’s own doctor says she is unfit they should take notice. I have every confidence that something can be agreed, she’ll just need to be patient. So I grabbed something to eat and went into the rear lounge to relax and play some guitar. I’d just sat down and was halfway through a song when I glanced out of the window. There before me was the most wonderful rainbow I had ever seen. A complete arc from west to east and high in the sky. It was bright enough to show a reflection, a mirror image of itself. I was awestruck at it’s beauty. I called to my ex. to come and look and she had to admit it was a lovely thing to see. According to Scripture, God told Noah that He would never again allow a flood to engulf the planet and He set a rainbow in the sky as a symbol of His promise. I remembered that Scripture as I gazed upon that lovely sight and felt such a peace come over me.
