A little girl walked to and from school daily. The weather that morning
was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to the
elementary school. As the day progressed, the winds whipped up, along
with thunder and lightning.
The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be
frightened as she walked home from school and she herself feared that
the electrical storm might harm her child. Following the roar of
thunder, lightning, like a flaming sword, would cut through the sky.
Full of concern, the mother quickly got into her car and drove along the
route to her child's school. As she did so, she saw her little girl
walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the child would stop,
look up and
smile. Another and another were to follow quickly and with each flash
of lightning, the little girl would look at the streak of light and
smile. When the mother's car drew up beside the child she lowered the window
and called to her, "What are you doing? Why do you keep stopping?" The
child answered, "I am trying to look pretty. God keeps taking my
picture."
May God bless you today as you face the storms that come your way.
