A little kid walks to and from school each day. One morning the weather was bad, with threatening clouds forming as he made his daily trek to primary school.
In the afternoon, a gale was brewing as was the coming thunder and lightning.
The kid's Mother was very concerned that her son would be fearful as he walked home, and god forbid anything should happen to him on the way home with such an electrical storm...
Following the roar of thunder, lightning would cut through the sky like a flaming sword.
Full of concern, the Mother quickly decided to drive along the route her kid goes to school from.
As she did so, she saw her little boy walking along, but at each flash of lightning, he would stop, look up and smile.
With each crash of thunder and then lightning, the little boy 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 him, "What are you doing? Why do you keep stopping?"
The child answered, "I am trying to look nice. God keeps taking my picture."

The above article makes me realise why God loves children so much. In Matthew 10:14-15, He said to His disciples, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, put His hands on them and blessed them.
We grow older and are more conscious of all the troubles, stress and problems in the world. We know that certain things are just beyond our control, no matter how hard we have tried. We know that certain things are just beyond our comprehension. Nevertheless, let us retain our childlikeness, knowing that despite the thunderstorm, God cares enough to want to take our lovely photos! Let us retain our childlikeness, knowing that since the Creator has bothered to make us so uniquely beautiful, He will take us in His arms and bless us.

Great story but sometimes God's flash on his camera is a bit too strong and accidentally hits trees and people. :-)
I totally agreed with James and Thanh.
Nevertheless, we know that all things work out for good to those who love Him and are called by His name. Whatever happens, God always has a bigger plan behind what our little minds can comprehend.
I have been touched by the lives of Lena Maria and Nick. Nick's favourite words are, "No hands, no limbs, no problem!" See his pics in http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/about_us.htm Amazing optimism about life despite all odds!
