I usually take the main highway when driving home from work, but tonight, because it was kinda stormy, I asked God which way I should go, thinking it might be safer to drive the slower two lane highway. I didn't really think much on it, but turned onto Gateway and headed toward Joplin. As I went I noticed the storm breaking up in the west and the sun starting to peek out. By the time I got almost to Joplin the sun was really starting to shine through and changing all the trees to copper while the sky to the east remained stormy looking. I continued to drive wondering about the possibility of a rainbow. Just as the sun was really shining out I looked to my right to see if I could see a rainbow. Nothing. Instead I saw a pretty red barn off to the right that was glowing with the copper trees as a backdrop. Usually when I drive down the road and see a photo op, my decision making ability doesn't kick in fast enough to actually convince me to stop and take a photo and there never seems to be a good stopping spot, but tonight just seconds after noticing the barn I saw a road to pull off on (I don't like stopping on the shoulder of a busy road.) and just as I turned onto that road there before me I could see the double rainbow. I don't know why I didn't see it when I first looked, but there it was in all it's beauty. I knew why God had nudged me to go that way. If I'd been on the big 4 lane highway, I would have missed it!
