Heartwarming story
Last week, I took my grandchildren 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 Grandpa 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 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.
Shove it up your arse you grouchy old b***h! "
Touches the heart doesn't it?

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.

Re: Heartwarming story
A good friend once told me he had a discussion with a preacher from another church group that told him; "I get up, have a shower, dress appropriately, make sure there is no interruption, take my bible, plan my prayer, get down on my knees and start praying."
My friend replied; "Wherever i wake up, wherever i am, or whenever i feel the need, i look up and start a conversation with my best friend."
I think it's about your own relationship and perception. If he trust God enough to ask him anything, he has learnt more in his short life than that old lady.

If you still have blank pages in your passport, it's probably time for a road trip.

have to agree with Allan its all about your relationship & your perception of God .Hoppy wrote:A good friend once told me he had a discussion with a preacher from another church group that told him; "I get up, have a shower, dress appropriately, make sure there is no interruption, take my bible, plan my prayer, get down on my knees and start praying."
