A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though the weather

that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her

daily walk 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. Full of concern, the mother quickly got into 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 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 the window 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."
