To Lend You A Hand, To Do A Good Deed.
So Just Call On Me When, You Need Me, My Friend!
I Will Always Be There For You, Right To The End!
Best Friends Forever!
Only God knows how much a prayer weighs.
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.
The grocer,
scoffed at her and requested that she leave
his store.
Visualizing the family needs, she said : 'Please, sir!
I will bring you the money just as soon
as I can."
The grocer told her he could not give her credit,
as 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?"
The lady 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."
She 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 would not balance
so he continued to put more
and
more groceries on,
until the scales could 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
as he stood in stunned silence.
Louise thanked him
and
left the store.
The customer handed a fifty-dollar bill
to the grocer
and said,
"It was worth every penny of it."
