THE POWER OF A 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   the  thunder . lightning , like   a   flaming   sword ,  would   cut  through   the   sky  , the   concerned  and  worried  mother   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  streak  ,  and  another  , and  the   child   looked  up  and   smiled  brilliantly .  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   of  your   life   , that   come   your   way  , and  most  important  , Don”t     forget   to  smile  !!!!
