Hi Friends,
I had a chance today to eat some ice cream & boy, was it good! I haven’t had ice cream in a long time, but it sounded so good I couldn’t help myself.
While I was thoroughly enjoying my ice cream, I was wondering if any of you that come and read my thoughts think Ice Cream is good too? If you do, after reading the story below, it would be awesome to hear what flavors are your favorites.
I personally like Mint Chocolate Chip, even though I am allergic to chocolate (chocolate gives me hives and I pay for eating it later with uncontrollable itching) I eat it when I can. LOL I just can’t help my love for chocolate, especially mint chocolate chip ice cream… yum yum!!
So anyways, you are probably wondering what ice cream has to do with inspiration? Well, I am glad you asked.
Besides wondering what your favorite ice cream is (when I was eating mine), I also remembered the story about this young boy I had read and thought you might enjoy it too. So, for today’s inspirational story about ice cream here it is:

Ice Cream is Good
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 reassured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentle man 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 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 ice cream sundae and without a word walked over and placed it in front of the woman.
And then, with a big smile on his face, he whispered into her ear, “Here. . . this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes and my soul is good already.”
I thought this story was sweet! I would love to hear not only what your favorite ice cream is, but also what your inspirational thoughts about this story are. To share your thoughts all you need to do is fill in your name and email below along with those thoughts in the ‘leave a reply’ field.
I look forward to hearing from you soon and as always, no matter what don’t lose faith and never give up!
Your Friend,
DL Faith
