Trust  

 

There was a guy walking in the woods one night. As he
walked further he fell off the side of a cliff and just
as he fell, he reached and grab a tree branch.

He thought for sure he was going to die, but he
remember learning as a child: when you're in trouble
call on God.

So he called up to Heaven, "Lord are you up there?"

A few seconds go by and not a word from heaven.

The man calls again, "Lord are you up there?" And again
the lord did not response.

This time the man made a promise to God, "if you are
there I will serve you if you help me."

The Lord responded and said, "my son do you trust me?"

"Yes," replied the man.

The Lord ask him again, "my son do you trust me"?

"Yes I do", replied the man.

God said, "let the branch go."

A few seconds of silence go by, and the man yelled, "is
there anybody else up there?"

 

 

 

              Thank God for Children Saying Grace

 

 

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 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 approachedthe 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."
