Midnight Storms (children's story)
The midnight storm awoke the family the children were as frightened as can be.
Lightning flashed all around and the thunder's heavy sounds.
We cuddled up on the couch the children as quiet as a mouse. You could see the fear in their eyes but I knew they would not cry. So I decided a fairy tale I would tell but my tales they knew quite well, so I made up a story of MIDNIGHT STORMS of how lightning and thunder couldn't get along. Lightning was a minute older of the two and Thunder didn't like to follow through. Lightning would light up the sky and thunder would scream and cry. The arguing would continue for quite a while between the elder and the child. Thunder infuriated by her brother decided to take it to her mother. MOTHER NATURE! We have a problem here and your advice you must share.
What is the first thing that comes to people's minds when they look up towards the skies?
MOTHER NATURE replied like all births you will see the newborn first, but you will not know if it survived until you hear that first cry. That's the reason GOD put you together to show the world that two go better. When the thunder starts to rumble it warns the world of upcoming trouble, and your lightning you show your flash, but they know that soon you'll both pass. So my children there is no need for you to argue and fight for the both of you are right. One can not do without the other that's the reason that you're sister and brother. They both knew that Mother was right but to this day they bicker and fight.
So children do not fear you are still under God's care.
