TO REFLECT AND THINK
- A woman dressed simply and with a sorrowful face, walked into a store. If
approached the owner and asked ashamed
could lead some products and pay later. With a soft voice, she explained that her
husband was very ill and not
could work, they had seven children and they needed food.
The shop owner, inflexible, asked the woman to leave. However, the woman
thinking of his family continued begging: "Why
Please sir, I will pay as soon as possible. "the shop owner refused saying he could not
give credit to a person who does not
knew.
Near the entrance of the store was a customer who overheard the conversation. The client approached
and told the owner that he would be responsible
purchases by the woman, but he ignored it.
The store owner turned to wife and asked: "Do you have a grocery list?" She
replied "Yes sir."
"Okay, put your list on the scales and weigh as your list, I'll give in
food, "he said.
She hesitated for a moment, his head bowed, took her wallet a piece of
paper and wrote on it. Then, with
fear, the woman put the paper in the balance. By doing this balance lowered at once,
like I put on a stone
her. The store owner and the customer looked with wonder and admiration. The shop owner
started
to put food on the other side of the scale,
but she did not budge, so he continued to put more and more food, but as the
scale never equaled, he broke down and
took the piece of paper to see if there was some trick.
The shop owner looked at the paper and read with amazement ... was not a shopping list, was a
prayer that read: "Dear God, the Lord
knows my needs, I leave this in your hands. "
The shop owner gave the woman all the foods that were on the scales and stood
silence
while the woman left the store.
Only God knows the value of a prayer when you do make but with faith and the lord of the high
heavens heard
