Rainbow Home
I'm dedicating this digital work to the children of Rainbow Home, who frequent my clinic several years ago before they were relocated. This special home is founded by a devoted pastor from a city church. Starting from a small group, they are now residing in 2 houses since they have grown to more than thirty.
This painting has a solitary house with Ayers Rock in the background. Ayers Rock, is a majestic rocky pyramid-like structure located in central Australia. Deep within, there are caves with many paintings which were created thousands of years ago. They represent the aboriginal world view and culture, which they call Dreamtime. Dreamtime is essentially one long story about the creation of the universe and human beings. Perhaps the Aborigines were the earliest group of people on Earth engaging in cosmology. Based on their mythologies, it's possible that one fine day, archeologists may be able to unearth long lost tombs containing prominent historical figures. I'm sure Discovery Channel crew will be the first to make known any current excavation findings, although the truth is now under heated debate.
The rainbow is meant to show the abounding grace that God has poured into the home. Charity starts at home. Acts of kindness, sharing and loving will ensure that even if the strong wind should blow, the home will remain steadfast.
Remember that God is the greatest of all physicians. He is the Healer of broken hearts. He shall never abandone you. To all the children of Rainbow Home, this one's for you.
