A Child's View of Thunderstorms
A little girl walked to and from school every day. Even though the weather one morning was very questionable, and dark clouds were forming, she still headed off to enjoy her day at school.
As the day progressed, the winds whipped up, along with a tremendous thunderstorm.
The little girl's mother felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school, and she feared that
the electrical storm might harm, or at least terrify her child.
Full of concern, the mother quickly got into her car and drove towards her daughter's school.
As she did, she saw her little girl walking along in her own very unique and care-free way.
And today there was also an added surprise: At each flash of lightning, the child would stop,
look up, and smile.
More lightning than the mother had seen in a while, and with each flash the little girl
would look at the flash of light and smile.
When the mother drew up beside her adorable child,
she lowered the window and called to her,
'What are you doing sweetheart'? The child answered, 'I'm just looking as pretty as
I can because God keeps taking my picture'.
Just have a good day today; and every other day as you face the storms that may come your way.
We all get 'em at times you know! Don't let pride stand in the way of asking friends for help.
