happy weekend everyone
>Last week I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son asked
>if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God
>is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if Mom
>gets us ice cream for dessert. And Liberty and justice for all! Amen!"
>
>
>Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby I heard a woman
>remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even
>know how to pray. Asking God for ice-cream! Why, I never!"
>
>
>Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong?
>Is God mad at me?"
>
>
>As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God
>was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table.
>
>
>He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that
>was a great prayer." "Really?" my son asked. "Cross my heart," the man
>replied. Then in a theatrical whisper he added (indicating the woman
>whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God
>for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."
>

>Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son
>stared at his for a moment and then did something I will remember the
>rest of my life. He picked up his sundae and without a word, walked over
>and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her,
>"Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes; and my
>soul is good already."
>
>The End.

>I loved this story! Please keep it moving. Sometimes we all need some
>ice cream. I hope God sends you some.
