A little girl walked to and from school daily.

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 each roar of thunder, lightning,

like a flaming sword,would cut through the sky.

Full of concern, the mother quickly Got into her car and

drovealong 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 drew up beside the child she

lowered thewindow and called to her,

"What are you doing?
Why do you keep stopping?"

The child answered,"I am trying to look pretty.

God keeps taking my picture."
