Ice cream for the soul.

 A father took his family to a restaurant. Before the meal, his 6 year old son prayed, "Thank You for the food, and I would even thank You more if Mom got us ice cream. Amen!" Amid the laughter, a woman nearby said indignantly, "that's what's wrong with this country. Kids today dont even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream!" the lad overheard her and burst into tears. Just then an elderly gentleman came by, winked at the boy, and whispered to him, "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes." when the dessert came, the boy picked up his Sundae, walked to the lady's table, and set it before her. With a big smile he said, "This is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes, and my soul is good already." this young boy showed the kind of selfless humility that Jesus talked about in Matthew 18. Let us learn from this story and become more childlike in our relationship with God.
