A little boy would walk to and from school daily. One afternoon, a huge storm began along with thunder and lightning...

How do you face some storm or struggle when your horizons darken and your life doesn’t look so sunny?

advice to Mrs. Weisberg

Your videos don't need to be so short, you know. I will make plenty of time, any time, to listen to you, and I am sure that many people will agree

How absolutely beautiful - the pictures, but most importantly the message! Thank you for sharing this story. Try to imagine how indescribably wonderful this world could be if we each had even the tiniest portion of a child's innocent wisdom of our Creator.

This is a beautiful story. The word camera in Latin means room, and of course this child was just so in touch with that grandeur of place, of being so in the eye of G-d, a camera coming out of the skies, a lightning flash, to illuminate his smile. Children, being so about wonder, make us, wonder!

What I love is that no matter how many stories we write, there is always room for more.

A story like this deserves to be heard. I will never look at lightning the same way again.

Thank You for a child's deeply wonderful, wisdom.

This is absolutely beautiful as well as educational. However, I must say the narator is exceptional.
