Facing the Storms!

A little boy walked to and from school daily.
On one particular morning, the weather was questionable
as clouds were forming and the sky was gray
but the little boy made his daily trek to the elementary school anyway.

As the afternoon progressed,
the winds whipped up and the thunder and lightning began to roll.
The little boy's mother was concerned that her son would be frightened
as he walked home from school and feared that the electrical storm might harm her child.

Following a roar of thunder,
lightning would cut through the sky like a flaming sword!
Worried, the mother got into her car
and drove along the route to her child's school.

On finding her son,
she noticed her little boy was walking along just fine,
but at each flash of lightning,
the child would stop, look up and smile.

More lightning followed and with each one
the little boy would look at the flash of light and smile.

The mother approached him in her car,
lowered the window and asked him,
"What are you doing?"

The child answered, "I am trying to look nice, God keeps taking my picture!"

May God bless you as you face the storms that come your way.
