GOOD FOR HEALTH Last week we,me and my wife, took my family children to a restaurant. My six year old grandson asked if he could say prayers for what we were getting, 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 nani jan gets us ice cream for dessert! Amen! Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark, Thats whats wrong with this country, kids today dont even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never! Hearing this, my grandson 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 grandson and said, I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer. Really? My grandson asked. Bilkul such bool raha hoon. 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 health sometimes Naturally, i bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. On getting his icecream my grandson stared at it 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 health sometimes, and my health is good already.
