"The Storm"

Author Unknown

A little girl walked daily to and from school.

Though the weather that morning was

questionable and clouds were forming she

made her daily trip to 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

in 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 up

and smile.

Another and another were to follow

quickly, each with the little girl stopping,

looking up and smiling.

Finally, the mother

called over to her child and asked, "What

are you doing?"

The child answered,

Smiling, "God just keeps taking pictures

of me."

Addendum by Sherry Sharon: This little girl had the ability to see God in the storms. Do you? No matter what storms of life you are going through the scriptures say, "I will never, ever leave you or forsake you." and "Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will be with you." Always remember, "You'll never walk alone" no matter how difficult your storm.
