SMILE FOR GOD
A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though the weather that morning
was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to the
elementary 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 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, the little girl would look at the streak of
light and smile. When the mother's car drove 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.
