Answer To A Prayer

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.'

THE
POWER OF PRAYER: 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.
Then please send this to all your
friends and relatives.

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

Prayer is one
of the best free gifts we receive.

There is no cost but a lot of rewards.
May you
always walk with Angels;
God Bless!
