    The Power of a Prayer...

    Louise Redden, a poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face,

    walked into a grocery store. She approached the owner of the store in a

    most humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries.

    She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work,

    they had seven children and they needed food.

    John Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave

    his store at once.

    Visualizing the family needs, she said: "Please, sir! I will bring you

    the money just as soon as I can."

    John told her he could not give her credit, since she did not have a

    charge account at his store.

    Standing beside the counter was a customer! who overheard the conversation

    between the two. The customer walked forward and told the grocer that he

    would stand good for whatever she needed for her family.

    The grocer said in a very reluctant voice, "Do you have a grocery list?"

    Louise replied, "Yes sir." "O. K." he said, "put your grocery list on the

    scales and whatever your grocery list weighs, I will give you that amount

    in groceries."

    Louise, hesitated a moment with a bowed head, then she reached into her

    purse and took out a piece of paper and scribbled something on it. She then

    laid the piece of paper on the scale carefully with her head still bowed.

    The eyes of the grocer and the customer showed amazement when the scales

    went down and stayed down.

    The grocer, staring at the scales, turned slowly to the customer and said

    begrudgingly, "I can't believe it."

    The customer smiled and the grocer started putting the groceries on the

    other side of the scales. The scale did not balance so he continued to

    put more and more groceries on them until the scales would hold no more.

    The grocer stood there in utter disgust. Finally, he grabbed the piece of

    paper from the scales and looked at it with greater amazement.

    It was not a grocery list, it was a prayer, which said:

    "Dear Lord, you know my needs and I am leaving this in your hands."

    The grocer gave her the groceries that he had gathered and stood in

    stunned silence.

    Louise thanked him and left the store.

    The other customer handed a fifty-dollar bill to the grocer and said;

    "It was worth every penny of it. Only God Knows how much a prayer

    weighs."
