THE TINIEST CLOUD
Once upon a time there was a Baby Cloud. It's Daddy Cloud was Humongous and it's Mama Cloud was Pleasantly Plump and Medium Size
Oh this Cloud had a Name. His name was Twackie. Mama and Daddy both agreed the Name was a Most Beautiful Name for a Boy Cloud. Now Twackie liked to float away from Mom and Dad and have them hurry to catch up to him as they floated through the day.
But one day Twackie wanted to go down to touch the Mountains and play around them, going up and down from top to bottom. So he begged his Mama to let him investigate his surroundings. He also wanted to float over the Large Eagles that were flying around, up and down below him. But Mama always said he had to wait awhile till he grew a little bigger for he was the Tiniest Cloud on the Horizon.
So in the mean time until he was older he settled with just floating over the Ocean and through the Lands, the Desert, the Forests and the Plains. He loved looking at all the Gorgeous Scenery below. Sometimes he would Frisk, up and down, high and low as he Floated.
Well, the Day finally came about a Month later Mama agreed to let Twackie go down upon the Mountains and play, and also play with the Eagles running around, but Mama said she would have to watch him from above and to be sure to understand, that they did not allow him to be out alone after dark.
Twackie agreed to all that because he was so excited. He was going to go Down Low, Touch a Mountain and Fly through the Eagles.
So down he went Lower and Lower and Lower, as he slid into the Mountains far below Mama and Daddy. He thought I'll just spend the whole day down here playing around. And he did. He flitted around the Eagles and Laughed and Laughed at their reaction. They were surprised at this Tiniest Cloud's movements.
He then floated over one Mountain down into the lowest edges of another Mountain. In fact he floated in and out all the Mountains where he was Floating for this was a Huge set of Mountain Ranges. Why he even floated around a Van full of Boys and Girls going to a Camp high on the Mountain top. They squealed with Joy as he covered their van with his softness and whiteness.
Albeit the driver had to slow down to drive carefully. But Twackie was having so much fun he wasn't thinking about them not being able to see very well to drive. But all the Kids were really elated about driving through the Tiniest Cloud.
So they had to creep up the Mountain top, the driver did and arrived at Camp and there Twackie was at Camp also, the Tiniest Cloud, hanging around the Marvelous Camp full of Horses and Lakes and Trees. He was touching them all and really having a Swell Time for a Long Time.
He didn't pay too much attention to it Getting Dark. But all of a sudden he looked around and it was surely so Dark he couldn't find his way up to Mama and Daddy. And there was no Moon hanging around to Lighten His Path.
Oh, now he was in trouble for Mama and Daddy had told him he must be home before Dark. Now what to do. He would pray. Lord help me. Help me to use my 'Thinker', so I'll know what to do.
Well, Time went by and all he could 'Think' to do was hang around the Well Lit Campground of the kids and watch them roast Wiennies and Marshmallows. He sure was unhappy trying to figure out how to get back up to Mama and Daddy in the dark. For he knew the Ole Winds were Howling and they could blow him off course. Plus Snow was beginning to fall everywhere. Down it came Faster and Faster. He sure was in a Predicament. But the Lord says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." So he did. And he felt better now. But he knew he had better use his 'Thinker' right now also. For he really was in trouble. And his Mama and Daddy always told him Dark is not the time you want Trouble. That's why they liked for him to be in before it got too Dark to See.
Well he Thought. I am Safe Here. This is where I Will Wait. For he knew Mama and Daddy both knew where he was. So he settled in with the kids for the night.
But alas, he spotted this Humongous Cloud coming over to him. "Daddy", he said. "You found me. I am so happy. See the Howling Wind and Swirling Snow, Daddy, I could not get home by myself."
Daddy said, "yes, Son Twackie, you did right by waiting and not getting away from the Mountains protection. But now I am here to Protect You and take you High up to Mama. She is so wanting Mama's Baby Boy to come home to her.
Here hold my Hand Twackie and the Wind cannot blow me much, for I am Humongous Cloud and more Stable than a Tiniest Cloud."
So the Daddy and Son went straight up to Mama. And Mama was so Super Happy that Twackie was OK and had not left the Realm of the Mountains and got caught in the Ole Winds Clutches and Swirled Around by the Snow and been taken far away from Mama and Daddy. He did very good while he was alone, Mama thought. He waited for his Daddy to help him. So Mama gave him a snack of Hot Chocolate on this Cold, Windy, Snowy Night and he was OK. He had used his 'Thinker' and 'Prayed' his way home.
You see all Creation know there is a God.
