Smiling In The Storm

Hare krsna

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada


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 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."

Reflection
Let's not forget to smile even when we face any storms that come our way for you never know, God can be
taking your picture.
Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it.
 A smile is a window on your face to show your heart is at home.
You are not dressed for the day until you wear a beautiful smile upon your face. When you smile at
someone, nine times out of 10 the other person will smile back and you've made two people's days brighter and better.
So remember - Everywhere you go, take a smile with you.
