A poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into agrocery store. she approached the owner of the store in the humblest mannerand asked if he would let her charge a few groceries. she softly explained thather husband was very ill and unable to work, they have 7 children and theyneeded food. the process scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store.visualizing the family needs, she said, "please, sir! i will bring you the moneyjust as soon as i can." the grocer told he could not give her credit, as she didnot have a charge account at his store. standing beside the counter was acustomer who overheard the conversation between the two. the customerwalked forward and told the grocer that he would stand good for whatever sheneeded for her family. the grocer said in a very reluctant voice, "do you havea grocery list?" the lady replied, "yes, sir." "okay," he said. "put your grocerylist on the scales and whatever your grocery list weighs, i will give you thatamount in groceries." the lady hesitated a moment with a bowed head, thenshe reached into her purse and took out a piece of paper and scribbledsomething on it. she then laid the piece of paper on the scale carefully withher head still bowed. the eyes of the grocer and the customer showedamazement when the scales went down and stayed down. the grocers, staringat the scales, turn slowly to the customer and said begrudgingly, "i can’tbelieve it." the customer smiled and the grocer started putting the grocerieson the other side of the scales. the scale did not balance so he continued toput 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 paperfrom the scales and looked at it with greater amazement. it was not a grocerylist: it was a prayer which said, "dear lord, you know my needs and i amleaving this in your hands. the grocer gives her the groceries that he hadgathered and stood in stunned silence. it was sometimes later that the grocerdiscovered the scales were broken; therefore, only god knows how much aprayer weight.make connections between the text and your life
