Perspective

[Guest guest]

A small child walked daily to and from school. Though the weather one

morning

was questionable and clouds were forming, this child made the daily trek to

the

elementary school. As the day progressed, the winds whipped up, along with

thunder and lightning.

 

The mother was worried that her child would be frightened walking back home

from

school and she herself feared the electrical storm might harm her child.

Following

the roar of the thunder, lightning would cut through the sky like a flaming

sword.

 

Being concerned, the mother got into her car and drove along the route to her

child's school. Soon she saw her small child walking along, but at each

flash of

lightning, the child would stop, look and smile. One followed another, each

with

time her child stopping, looking at the streak of light and smiling.

 

Finally, the mother called and asked, "What are you doing?" Her child

answered,

"I'm smiling! God keeps taking pictures of me."
