A little icecream

Thank God for Children Saying Grace...
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 .
