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.

Best wishes,
Peter

E clar ca da. Prea dragutza cale de a induiosha un dushman impietrit al lui Hristos care ishi face cruce cu dreapta shi da in cap la cine-apuca cu maciuca din mina stinga.
