I was on my way to a dance class when I saw this double rainbow (I didn’t even realize it was a double rainbow until I was looking at this picture just now). The radio announcer was talking about how God has surprises right around the corner, and I literally turned and saw the rainbow.

The dance class was fun but hard, and I was tired coming out of it. On my way to pick up M from childcare, I saw three people playing badminton. Instinctively, I asked if I could join them. “May I borrow a racquet?” They were complete strangers, but thanks to their welcoming spirit, there I was, playing my favorite sport! I have only played with friends and family. These people were all older than me and much better than me (and I don’t suck. I’ve played badminton since elementary school). I played one more time with them this weekend, and they were even better. I came away thinking, “I can’t wait to practice with S!” I am looking forward to next weekend!

Thank you, God, for joyful surprises! Just when we least expect it, you are there.
