Today I was walking through a parking lot with the little girl I nanny for and I heard her say, "Look, it made a rainbow!!" She was so amazed at all the colors floating around in a puddle next to my car. When I finally figured out what she was talking about, I realized it was a water puddle with oil mixed in.
A lot of times you will hear someone compare two people to oil and water, meaning they are a bad pair or opposites. It's never looked at as a good thing.Oil and water technically don't mix, but today I saw oil and water through the eyes of a four year old little girl and it was rather beautiful. There were swirls of vibrant colors going through the puddle where the oil had began to distribute. You could only see it if the sun hit it just right though.
I think the lesson I walked away with was the fact that two people may be very different and maybe even looked at as a bad fit, but often times when they get together they may turn into something beautiful. The Son has to shine just right on them though in order for their true beauty to shine through in swirls of vibrant colors. There are no hopeless or impossible situations.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time...
blah =) Don't need to hear that right now.
