Last week, a man took his children to a restaurant.THE six-year-old son asked if he could say grace.
As they bowed their 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, he 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, the son burst into tears and asked me, “Did I do it wrong?
Is God mad at me?”
As the man 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 the son and said, “I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer.”
“Really?” the 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, the man bought to kids ice cream at the end of the meal. the son stared at his for a moment, and then did something to be remembered the rest of 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.”

Graphic depictions of love basically are too amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love quotations that relate to love basically
because they seem to aim for natural fancies inside each of us really productively.
It's somewhat bizarre how right after I read through a lovable quote I get bombarded with sentiment, specially the depressed quotes. Ciao!
