I Wanna Meemow


And because of His glory and excellence
He has given us great and precious promises. 2 Peter 1:4

I was helping Emma learn to write her name. She was having a little trouble writing the “m’s.” So I told her that they were like rainbows. She had fun writing the rainbows in her name. We were so excited that she had 4 rainbows in her name. Her little brother came over and said, “I wanna meemow.” That was his way of saying, “I want a rainbow.”  So, of course, I helped him write a rainbow too.

That incident made me think of rainbows as being promises from God because the origin of a rainbow was the promise from God to Noah. He has given a lot of promises to us in His word. And I pictured myself going to my heavenly Father and saying, “I wanna meemow.” And of course my Father will give one to me.

Psalm 145:13 For Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout generations. The Lord always keeps His promises (*meemows); He is gracious in all He does.

So the meemows in the Bible are for me. I am even promised that He will keep His promises. That’s a double promise. Yay, that means a double meemow!

Here are some of my favorite meemows I am meditating on this week:

1.    But my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  Phil. 4:19
2.    For God so loved the world, that He gave Hid only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
3.    Come to me, all you are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
4.    No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.     Romans 8:37
5.    Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
6.    And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matt. 28:20

There are many more promises from God to anyone who will look for them in His word. If you want a rainbow all you have to do is look.

Go to your Heavenly Father and say,

“I wanna meemow.”

He has one waiting for you.
