Every night around 8 o'clock, she gets ice cream for the both of us.
Mine in a bowl and hers in a cone. I wouldn't have it any other way. 

One night after supper, I sat in the living room watching a little TV. I
noticed the clock said 8 o'clock, the time for the ice cream. So I 
waited a few minutes, and still, no ice cream showed up. 

She was busy in her craft room with some crafts, and I just thought she
had forgotten what time it was. That always happens to me, but it 
rarely happens to her. She knows what time it is a half-hour before the 
time. Figure that out. 

Thinking I could solve the problem, which was a ridiculous ploy on my
part, I decided to tell her what time it was. 

With my strongest outdoor voice, I yelled, "It's ice cream time. Yes,
I'll have ice cream." 

She came to the living room, looked at me, and said, "Did you hear that
terrible noise just a few moments ago?" 

Shaking her head she then turned around and walked back to her craft
room, and to my disappointment, there was no ice cream that night. So I 
was tempted to go to the freezer and get my ice cream, but I wasn't 
sure what kind of trouble I was in that night. David seemed to 
understand this when he wrote, “God is our refuge and strength, a very 
present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). 

No matter what my trouble is, because God is my refuge I have nothing to
worry about.
