GROCERY
LIST
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.'
