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

Sometimes we all need some ice cream.

I hope God sends you some Ice Cream today
 
Part of me wants to go to the woman and just quietly say to her:

"Burn"

That "Woman" in the story is what is wrong with this world, people are afraid to ask God for their hearts desires. They want so much to be politically correct with God its almost sickening. Thankfully, God sees through this and the heart of a child is incapable of being PC. So, lets all ask for ice cream with our dinner tonight :)
 
Hey CGamer

Assuming this is your family, Awesome job raising your children...

If it what someone else's child, then Woot! to them.

And only if it was a made up story - excellent example

All I can possibly say about that part is...

THAT IS HILARIOUS.

"Here, you need soul help."
Reminds me of little smart-alec me when i was a little kid =P
 
Actually a friend of mine sent me the story, not sure if its just a story or true, but it holds great implications to us.
 
Jesus tells the disciples to not hinder the little children from coming to him. That women was doing the same as the disciples. She would think it inappropriate for children to go over to play with Jesus. If we were all like this child and prayed for the simple innocent desires of our hearts. What a better world it would be!
 
"Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes; and my soul is good already."

A six year old child is judging an adult and saying the child is good and they are not..and that can be fixed with ice cream....Cheeky kid.
