SMILE

A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though 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 the roar of
thunder, lightning, like a flaming word, would
cut through the sky.
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 girlwalking
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 drove 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"
"Face the storms that come your way and don't forget to SMILE! " Now
Smile......
Pass it along to brighten someone else's day because I know you SMILED!!!
