SMILING THROUGH THE STORM- Mỉm cười giữa giông bão

  There was a little girl who walked to and from school everyday. One day, though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she set out on her daily trek to the elementary school .

  As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with thunder and lighting. Her mother was 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, lighting, like a flaming sword, was cutting through the sky. Concerned, the mother quickly got into her car and drove along route to her child’s school. As she did so, she saw her little girl walking along, but at each flash of lighting, the child would stop, look up and smile at the sky.

  Another and another flash of lightning followed and with each the little girl would look up at the streak of light and smile. The mother pulled her car up beside the child, and she lowered the window and called to her, “What are you doing? Why do you keep stopping?”

  The little girl answered, “I’m trying to look pretty! God keeps taking my picture”

May God bless you today as you face any storms that come your way!

  Có một cô bé đi bộ từ nhà đến trường mỗi ngày. Một buổi sáng nọ, mặc dù trời đầy mưa giông gió ,cô vẫn tiếp tục lộ trình của mình mỗi ngày.
  Đến trưa , sấm chớp đì đùng cũng những con giông mạnh hơn kéo đến. Mẹ cô bé lo rằng cô bé sẽ sợ hãi khi đi từ trường về và sấm sét có thể đánh trúng cô

bé
  Nghe những tiếng sấm vang rền trời , những tia sét dọc như những nhát kiếm xé toạc bầu trời, mẹ cô bé vội vàng lái xe đến trường rước con. Đang đi trên đường, bà bỗng thấy cô con gái nhỏ của mình vừa đi vừa dừng lại ngước lên bầu trời mỉm cười mỗi lần có tia chớp sáng lên.
  Hết đợt chớp này đến đợt chớp khác, cô bé cứ nhìn lên và mỉm cười. Người mẹ chạy xe lại gần cô bé , hạ thấp kiếng xe xuống và hỏi :
- Con đang làm gì vậy ? Sao con cứ dừng lại và nhìn lên trời vậy ?
Cô bé trả lời :
- Con đang mỉm cười để trông đáng yêu hơn , mẹ ko thấy ông trời cứ chụp hình con sao ?

  
God luôn phù hộ bạn mỗi khi bạn gặp bất cứ cơn giông nào trên đường đời :)
