by: Author Unknown,
A tired looking woman came into the store and asked for enough food to make a dinner for her children. The grocer asked her how much she could spend. The frail woman answered, “I have nothing to offer but a little prayer.”
The storekeeper was not very sentimental nor religious, so he said, half-mockingly, “Write it on paper, and I’ll weigh it.”So she did.
The grocer placed the prayer on the weight side of his old- fashioned scales. Then he began piling food on the other side — but to his amazement, the scale would not go down.
He finally became flustered and gave the woman a large bag of food.
The grocer never saw the woman again, but he treasures the slip of paper upon which the woman’s prayer had been written;
“Please, Lord, give us this day our daily bread.”
