A Child's View Of Thunderstorms

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 school. As the afternoon

  progressed, the winds whipped up, along with lightning.

The mother

  of the little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as

  she walked home from school. She also feared the electrical storm might

  harm her child. Full of concern, the mother got into her car and quickly

  drove along the route to her child's school.  As she did, she saw her

  little girl walking along.

At each flash of lightning, the child

  would stop, look up, and smile.  More lighting followed quickly and

  with each, the little girl would look at the streak of light and smile.

When the mother drew up beside the child, she lowered the window

  and called, "What are you doing?"

The child answered, "I am trying to

  look pretty because God keeps taking my

  picture."
