A Child's View of a Thunderstorm

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 lightning.

The mother of the little girl felt concerned

that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school

and she feared the electrical storm might harm her child.

Full of concern,

the mother quickly got into her car

and 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 then smile.

Another and another flash of lighting followed quickly

and with each, 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?'

The child answered,

'I am trying to look pretty

because God keeps taking my picture.'




May God bless you today and everyday
as you face the storms that come your way.
