Grocery List!!!


A very special friend of mine sent this to me today and i thought I would share it on here. Remember Romans 8:26
SPECIAL 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 sto re 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,20you 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.
> > May you always walk with Angels
> > God Bless!
