THE WOMAN SAID THAT SOMETHING TOLD HER TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE
CLOUDS. ALTHOUGH THE WOMAN FELT STRANGE ABOUT TAKING A PICTURE OF
THE CLOUDS, SHE STILL DID IT. NOT REALLY THINKING TOO MUCH ABOUT IT
WHILE ON HER VACATION IT ALL CAME BACK TO HER WHEN SHE RECEIVED HER
DEVELOPED PICTURES. FOR THE PICTURE THAT WAS TAKEN IN THE CLOUDS
REVEALED A CHRIST-LIKE IMAGE .
Submitter comment:
THE WOMAN FELT THAT IT WAS THE LORD THAT TOLD HER TO TAKE THE
PICTURE IN THE FIRST PLACE. SHE FELT THAT THE LORD WAS TRYING TO
TELL HER THAT HE IS ALWAYS THERE.
