This was too good to pass up
Got this in an e-mail today. Didn't pass it on to the seven people as instructed, and I put it here instead. Perhaps I'll have seven visitors who read it and then the chain e-mail will come true. Whatever.
A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her trek to the elementary school.
As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up with thunder and lightning. The mother of the little girl was concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school. 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.
Concerned, 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. At each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look up, and smile. Another and another were to follow quickly and with each one 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."
I know it's cheesy, but it made me laugh. And I could really use all the laughter I can get right now.
