A Simple Dinner That Turned Into an Unforgettable Moment<\/p>\n
Last week, I took my grandchildren out to a restaurant for dinner. It was supposed to be a simple, quiet meal.<\/p>\n
Before the food arrived, my six-year-old grandson looked up at me with bright eyes and asked politely, \u201cGrandpa, can I say grace?\u201d<\/p>\n

Everyone at the table bowed their heads as the little boy clasped his hands together and began his prayer.<\/p>\n

\nAnd liberty and justice for all. Amen!\u201d<\/p>\n
For a brief moment there was silence.<\/p>\n

From a nearby table, a woman shook her head and muttered loudly enough for others to hear.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s wrong with this country,\u201d she said.
\n\u201cKids today don\u2019t even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream? Why, I never!\u201d<\/p>\n
Her words cut deeper than she probably realized.<\/p>\n
My grandson\u2019s face crumpled instantly.<\/p>\n
Tears filled his eyes as he looked up at me and whispered, \u201cDid I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?\u201dREAD MORE BELOW\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
