A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though the weather 
that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her 
daily walk 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.

    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?' 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 
,and don't forget to smile!

Be encouraged inspired and faithful and God will see you through.
