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, 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 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. My prayer is that God send you some icecream today n hopefully me too ;) Tx my dear lil brother Jonathan Itaar for sharing this with me..may u too receive an icecream today to brighten up your day. ♡
