A Heartwarming Story

[aFarewellToKings]

I don't think it was quite the heart, and I don't think it was quite warming he was after.

I received this by email. It was such a touching story that I just had to copy and paste it here.


A heartwarming little story especially at this time of year.
Last week, I took my grandchildren to a restaurant. My 8-year-old
grandson 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 thank you even more if Grandpa
gets us ice cream for dessert. And liberty, peace & justice for all. Amen!"

Along with the laughter and nodding of heads from the other customers nearby,
I heard a woman at the next table 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 grandson burst into tears & asked me, "Did I do it wrong Grandpa?
Is God mad at me?"

After I assured him that he had done a terrific job & that God was certainly
not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at
my grandson & said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."
"Really?" my grandson 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 sometimes good for the soul.

Naturally, I bought my grandchildren ice cream at the end of the meal.
My grandson stared at his ice cream for a moment, & then he did something
I will remember the rest of my life:

He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over & placed it in front of the woman.
With a big smile he looked her in the eye and told her, "Here ma'am, this is for you, you grouchy old *****. Shove it up your ass and cool off!"

Kinda brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it!

WHAT A NICE YOUNG MAN.
