Looking Pretty For God

A little girl walked to and from school daily. One morning, although the weather was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her usual trek to school. As the afternoon progressed, the clouds darkened and the winds whipped up accompanied by streaks of lightning.

The little girl's mother felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school, and 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 which her child usually takes en route to school. As she did, she spotted her little girl at a distance walking along unconcerned about the gathering storm.

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 caught up and drove 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."

May God bless you today and every day as you face the storms that come your way!
