Emerald green, White sand, Blue eyes

I've been reading a lot lately about colors in the bible.  God must love colors!  Of course we know He made the earth with its myriad of colors, and if that wasn't enough He made a rainbow to seal a promise.  He made sure that Joseph's beautiful coat of many colors was mentioned.  And then, in much detail He talks about the colors used in the tabernacle in the wilderness and in Solomon's temple. Then lastly, He talks about the colors in Heaven, brilliant colors that we can only imagine.

I am so glad that God made colors, not just one or two, but a multitude of colors that are a feast for our eyes.  People who don't have a preference about anything else have an opinion about color!
We all have our favorites, and sometimes the mere sight of a particular shade brings a flood of memories or wonderful feelings, or funny memories.

I love emerald green.  Gulf Coast green!  The kind of green like the water that I call home. So beautiful against the sparkling white sand and when the sun hits it just right it looks like emeralds and diamonds!  I also love blue.  Reminds me of my Dad and Josh's blue blue eyes!  Brown is a beautiful and warm color to me.  Reminds me of fall, and wooded lots and my husband's warm brown eyes! Comfort and love! I also love navy blue and red together? Why?  Because when our twins (who will be 23 next Sunday) were small, I always dressed Drew in Blue and Caleb in Red!

 If colors add so much to our life here and give our lives so much depth, I can only imagine what they must add to Heaven!

As I sit here on a cloudy Sunday, I am grateful for another one of the presents that will be waiting for us to unwrap.... just think of the wrapping paper!!!

"...clothed in rainbows of living color, flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder"
