Transcript
- 0:04Podcast number three hundred ninety. We didn' t stop ecstatic that afternoon with
- 0:14Jasmith. The show was really beautiful. We stopped our activities and stayed watching
- 0:24what was a beautiful message for us from God. He took off his gloves
- 0:31to avoid smearing his paint and came next to me there in the garden that
- 0:38I was finishing pruning. I laid my hand on his waist and arranged aja
- 0:45Smith in front of me to adopt that pose that we like to take when
- 0:51we are going to devote a few minutes to contemplation. It was worth it
- 0:58there before our eyes. Six was the most beautiful rainbow Iris we' ve
- 1:03ever seen in our lives. It was the second time we saw him and
- 1:08through him we reperceived the message that God wanted to deliver to us. This
- 1:15mountain will serve for many marriages to come to be reconciled, healed and restored.
- 1:25We could only thank God for being there watching the rainbow, but not
- 1:30any rainbow this was double. I don' t know how many times you
- 1:38' ve seen two rainbows together. It' s a phenomenon that doesn'
- 1:42t always happen. It is precisely so called double rainbow or double rainbow.
- 1:52This phenomenon occurs when sunlight is refracted, reflected and dispersed in drops of water
- 1:57in the atmosphere, forming two rainbows. At the same time, the second
- 2:06Iris arc is usually a little thinner and its colors are inverted compared to the
- 2:12first Iris arc. Add to that the beautiful mountain range seen from there from
- 2:20that wonderful place. I will put in the miniature of this podcast the photograph
- 2:29I took there together with Jasmith, because I took the cell phone to take
- 2:36a picture, but immediately I kept it to remain there hugging my wife'
- 2:43s waist, looking at the immensity of the Santanderian mountains and the polychrome that
- 2:50that wonderful message that God put back into our heart appeared momentarily we were interrupted
- 2:58by the beauty of the afternoon. Until that moment, God would let us
- 3:02hear the many races of forest birds around me. The small mountain house had
- 3:08finished raining and, as usually happens, all nature began with its beautiful noises
- 3:16and sensory expressions that made one as a human closer to the work of the
- 3:23creator. It was the hammer of the lord that we had hired to make
- 3:31us some repairs to the old house of Tapia trodden, which crowned the tip
- 3:36of the mountain, which shudderingly broke into the symphony nature that delighted us.
- 3:44In order not to harm that spectacular moment, I invited him to see the
- 3:49majestic work that God put before our eyes. Hey, touchy come look at
- 3:58this beautiful landscape. A double rainbow came out. The adult builder left his
- 4:05hammering for a few moments and popped his head out the window. He took
- 4:12off his cap and said in his particular Santanderian accent ole hand a lot to
- 4:19be pretty. I' ve never seen a doublen rainbow before. He stayed
- 4:25for a few more seconds watching show size and then stuck his head in and
- 4:33continued hammering interrupting with his metal tap. The beautiful sounds that adorned that afternoon
- 4:41were only five minutes. Then, the colors of the beautiful rainbow faded little
- 4:48by little, until the evening became as ordinary as so many others. The
- 4:57beautiful moment was over. We don' t know when Jasmidi and I are
- 5:04given a show like this. We knew that we had to somehow take advantage
- 5:11of those moments as a couple where heaven put that special language to remind us
- 5:17that God is there continually showing love and reminding us of all his promises.
- 5:27When we get down in the van, heading to the village on foot.
- 5:30We recalled that special moment and Mr Constructor again commented that he had rarely seen
- 5:38a more beautiful landscape. I kept quiet and started thinking. You know I
- 5:44' m looking for an app. I thought to myself how you can say
- 5:49what is the most beautiful landscape you' ve ever seen. If he only
- 5:54wanted to enjoy it for ten seconds, I never told him. Hey,
- 6:00buddy, get back to your job, you' re wasting your time.
- 6:04Quite the opposite. I invited him, together with my wife, to enjoy
- 6:10that Moreover, his too much responsibility for having to deliver a job hindered the
- 6:18sound of nature that would surely have made the moment even more enjoyable. Five
- 6:26minutes of stillness would have made no difference in the outcome of their work.
- 6:31God had also set the rainbow for him, but he had only the rainbow
- 6:39of God ten seconds. So, there are people in life I thought God
- 6:46allows them pauses in their troubled lives to enjoy beautiful things, but they are
- 6:53so busy in their responsibilities that they are not able to enjoy. Moments I
- 6:59' d like never to repeat. When your little son got his tooth out,
- 7:04when he took his first step and, instead of going out to enjoy
- 7:10his first walk in the garden, you went out to fulfill the rigorous schedule.
- 7:16The last breath your father gave a birthday cake. That' s the
- 7:24octogenarian party you didn' t attend because that weekend you had a job to
- 7:30finish. You didn' t think it was gonna be her last celebration,
- 7:36but you had a very tight schedule. You weren' t the first person
- 7:44to raise your newborn. Why you were working. There' s your daughter
- 7:50' s picture over there. He is with other family and friends at his
- 7:56graduation, dressed in robes and birete. He tries to smile, but he
- 8:03knows your arm' s missing, and he missed your kiss. My grandchildren
- 8:07spent a hundred days visiting the land of their parents Colombia. They were born
- 8:15in the United States. On one of those hundred nights, my eldest granddaughter
- 8:20and I, who had been watching the vastness of the starry sky for several
- 8:26minutes at the same place where the ivis bow came out with Jasmith. After
- 8:31those two minutes we saw a shooting star pass. It only lasted two seconds.
- 8:39She and I screamed at the time and every time we talked about what
- 8:48only she and I saw that night in the mountains of Santander Mira. It
- 8:56was only two seconds. But maybe my granddaughter, when she' s a
- 9:01woman, will tell her children in this place. He doesn' t sit
- 9:07us in a rocking chair. After several minutes we saw a shooting star pass.
- 9:11I don' t remember the wish you asked me to, but I
- 9:16remember him sitting in this place. Things happen only for a few seconds,
- 9:24but they last a lifetime every morning. God puts new flowers in your garden.
- 9:33There' s a nest in a tree near your window that you haven
- 9:37' t discovered, because it doesn' t look like a landscape to you.
- 9:39What' s in front of the window in your room is more,
- 9:43the window is just an alarm clock where the sun should come in to warn
- 9:50you that you already have to get up to work. I think there'
- 9:54s some mom listening to this podcast who, having gone out of her way
- 10:00with her homework, hasn' t seen the first strokes of the great cartoonist
- 10:05that her son will become. Someone won' t accompany a beautiful singer to
- 10:09her first audition. Busy adults won' t celebrate a little friend' s
- 10:20first goal. Friend. There are things in life that only last five minutes
- 10:26or maybe just two seconds. That time won' t make a difference in
- 10:33your work. But if you stop and let go, you' re noisy,
- 10:39hammer and enjoy. Those five minutes will become an eternal time. Today
- 10:46alone, it was to let go of the hammer for a few minutes,
- 10:52for an hour or all day. God is giving you shows at all times
- 11:01and you' re missing them God bless you.
