Heartwarming story

Post by Mud Dog »

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!.

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. :thumbup:

have to agree with Allan its all about your relationship & your perception of God .
