Even though we've been in the depths of a crisis, there's always hope on the horizon. One of those came to us yesterday after a nice shower fell from the sky, a magnificent rainbow could be seen in the most strategic places all throughout Hope and Hempstead County.

Rainbows symbolize peace, serenity and hope, feelings that usually follow after we see that incredible arc of colors in the sky. In the Bible, in Genesis after God floods the earth, He gives the sign of a rainbow as a promise to never flood the earth again. He gives the promise of hope.

Pictures of this perfectly timed rainbow surfaced on Facebook by multiple persons and attracted some much needed positive attention. Reminding us once again that after every storm, there's always a rainbow.
