Grace In A Restaurant
Hello, This was sent to me as one of those cute true stories. That kid could have very well been one of us, so I related. Here’s the story but I’ve changed the pictures.
Sometimes we forget the really important things in life.
Last week I took my grand-children to a restaurant. My six year old grand-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 Nana 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 grand-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 grand-son and said, “I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer.”
“Really my grand-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 grand-children ice cream at the end of the meal. My grand-son stared at his for a moment, and then did something I will remember for 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. “
That lady probably turned as red as those strawberries.
Sometimes we all need some ice cream.
Personally, I loved this story.

Winter Preview
I’d been bracing for the snow, for a couple of days now. This is what we got, a duster. Tomorrow it’s expected to be 54 degrees. As you can see the leaves are still on the trees. They say it’s going to be cold in Florida. There goes the price of orange juice ! Any way, this was what they call “lake effect” snow because Lake Erie is still warm, and a cold front crossed the lake which causes potential for the lake to be a snow machine. I actually feel blessed, it could have been allot worse.
That’s the Lake right above the pushpin. We could have gotten clobbered.
