In gracious appreciation for the goodness and blessing that flow out of the heavens to the village below, the community has prepared for days to sing and dance their thanksgiving with a feast gathering. Neighboring villages are invited to join the feasting and celebration. The songs tell of the love of Creator Father, the drums echo the thunderclouds and the colorful outfits of the dancers mimic plant and animal life in designs and symbols handed down from generation to generation.

Creator Father is pleased with this celebration and comes down to see for himself, since Father travels in the clouds he sends a light sprinkle as his path, and in the brilliant sunlight of his love we see he has put on his rainbow and stretched himself over all the earth to bless it and to kiss it with more love.
