Liewe God
In plaas van mense te laat doodgaan en nuwe mense te maak,
hoekom hou jy nie net dié wat jy reeds het nie?

Miskien sou Kain en Abel mekaar nie doodgemaak het as hulle elkeen hul eie slaapkamer gehad het nie. Dit werk vir my en my broer.

Ek was by 'n troue en hulle het gesoen in die kerk. Is dit oukei?

Ek dink dit moet baie moeilik vir U wees om vir al die mense in die wêreld lief te wees. Ons het net vier mense in ons gesin en ek kan dit nie doen nie.

"Ice Cream Is Sometimes Good For The Soul"
ABOUT ICE CREAM AND A CHILD'S PRAYER

| Ice cream is good for the soul! |
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 thank you even 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 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." Then in 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 kid 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!"
