Some of the most beautiful scenery on earth lies a four-hour drive west of us in Jasper National Park. Marc and I never tire of it. I’ve been going annually since I was four, and we spent our honeymoon in Jasper. This year, thirty-one years later, we spent three days there with a friend from the US, Fr. Tom.

Waking up on our first morning we found pouring rain and socked-in, low-lying clouds. Marc marvels at my child-like faith in God answering prayers, but kneeling in front of the cabin’s picture window, I asked the Lord to please lift the clouds so we could show Fr. Tom the spectacular scenery on the Parkway between Jasper and the Columbia Icefields. Confident that God would hear and answer as He always does, we set off in the rain for our drive.

Without fail, as we travelled south, the clouds lifted and the sun shone through. We got breath-taking views and photos and had a glorious day (the next day was a repeat of weather, prayer, and God’s gracious response).

To cap off the first day, God created an awesome double rainbow, completely touching the lake in front of the cabin from one side to the other (see video). On the second day, he sent a partial double rainbow as we drove east through the pouring rain (which only began after we left the mountains!). God is good. Alleluia!
