The Scary Storm
A little girl walked daily to and from school. Though
the weather that morning was questionable and clouds
were forming, she made her daily trip to school.
As the afternoon 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 in 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, each with the little girl stopping, looking
up and smiling.
Finally, the mother called over to her child and
asked, "what are you doing?" The child answered,
"smiling, God just keeps taking pictures of me."
