Forwards:::So Sweet

A little girl walked to and from school daily. 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 sword, 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 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."
