'Rainbows for Rainy Days' is a collection of 40 uplifting devotional readings for when the weight of the world is dragging you down. Everyone has rainy days. Sometimes it's only a light shower, but other time the torrential downpour makes it unbearable to even go outside and put on a fake smile. Catherine Campbell cared for her two handicapped daughters, until they died at ages 10 and 13. Yet she firmly believes that God is good in the sunny and the rainy days, offering these comforting devotionals to encourage others who are suffering. As an inspirational speaker she frequently encounters people with tragic stories. And yet she believes that God is Lord and that in both good times and bad, He is always good. Isaiah 40.31 says, that 'those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings like eagles.' She comments, 'How often have you wakened in the morning knowing that the problem, or the pain, or the unpaid bill has not disappeared? We worry and fret ourselves into exhaustion. Yet God has promised us endurance. 'The great eagle cannot reach the heights merely by its own strength. As it spreads its impressive wings the bird allows the wind to carry it to places no other bird can go. This kind of flying appears effortless because the eagle trusts in a power bigger than itself: the wind!' In this unique devotional, Catherine examines different aspects of God's love for those times when life gets hard.
