Humbling truth

> 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
> hundred-dollar bill to the grocer and said; 'It was worth every penny of it.
> Only God Knows how much  a prayer weighs.'
>
> THE POWER: When you receive this, say a prayer. That's all you have to do.
>
> Just stop right now, and say a prayer of thanks for your own good fortune...
>
> I believe if you will send this testimony out with prayer in faith, you will
> receive what you need God to do in your and your families' life..
>
> So dear heart, trust God to heal the sick, provide food for the hungry,
> clothes and shelter for those that don't have as we do. Amen & Amen
>
>
>
> Don't break this, please!
>
> Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.

>
> There is no cost but a lot of rewards.
