Ice cream is good for the soul..........

Ice cream is good for the soul..........

 

Last week I heard a story or a conversation between the father and his six years old child. 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, his son burst into tears and asked his father, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?" He held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentle man approached the table. He winked at that boy and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."  "Really?" my son asked "Cross my heart." Then in 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 kid's ice cream at the end of the meal. That bay stared at her for a moment and then did something that the father will remember the rest of his 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."
