A little girl walked daily to and from school. 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 and smile. Another
and another were to follow quickly, each with the little girl
stopping, looking at the streak of light and smiling.
Finally, the mother called her over to the car and asked, "What are
you doing?" The child answered, "God just keeps taking pictures of
me,"
Lord, help me to trust You as much as this little one, especially
when the storms of life crash around me.
God Bless you today, whatever storm you are facing!!
