In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic a sign from above arrived at just the right time and in the perfect place.

Sherry Hrehorak of Winnipeg lives across the street from the Grace Hospital. She says she was out on her 11th-floor balcony enjoying the sunset and weather after a rainstorm moved through Sunday evening.

"Like they say, it was a sign. It was just something beautiful. Normally they end with a 'pot of gold' but somehow this rainbow right now with everything going on at any of the hospitals just seemed appropriately, I think, hopeful, and whimsical."

In the biblical account of the origin of the rainbow, God gives it as a sign He will never again destroy the earth with a flood (Gen. 9:13-17).
