Ice Cream for the Soul

I originally titled this 'what you can find in the men's bathroom', but the more I thought about it, the better I liked 'ice cream for the soul'. So I changed it!

During mom and dad’s tour of Salt Lake City, dad visited one the men’s bathrooms. It had hundreds of handouts!!! And not about ‘having a good time’! These were all inspirational and thought provoking. Its strange to have them in a bathroom, but even stranger that they were only in the men’s room. Do they need more help?  Maybe….
Anyhow here are two that dad picked up.
IM ONLY ONE
By Edward Everett Hale

I am only one
but still, I am one.
I cannot do everything,
but still, I can do something.
And because I cannot
do everything,
I will not refuse to do
the something that I can do.

Ice Cream for the Soul…Author Unknown
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 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 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 he 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 wisdom of kids!
Enjoy your day and may you have a great day tomorrow too!
