"Before a Meal"

 

 

A young lady, having committed some small
offense, was made to eat dinner alone, at a
little table in the corner of the kitchen.

 

The rest of the family was paying her no attention
until she began to pray in a loud voice, "I thank
you, Lord, for preparing this table before me in
the presence of mine enemies..."

 

 

"Saying Grace in a Restaurant"

 

 

Last week, I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old 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 Mom 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 son burst into tear s 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 son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."

 

"Really?" my 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 kids ice cream at the end of the meal.

 

My 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. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes; and my soul is good already."

 

 

"The Most Grief"

 

 

A dietitian was once addressing a large audience in Chicago.
"The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed
most of us sitting here, years ago.

 

Red meat is awful. Soft drinks erode your stomach lining.
Chinese food is loaded with MSG. Vegetables can be disastrous,
and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs
in our drinking water.

 

But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we
all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it
is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after
eating it?"

 

A 75-year-old man in the front row stood up and said, "Wedding
cake"
