HOW MUCH DOES A PRAYER WEIGH?

How much does a prayer weigh? There is a story of a grocery
store owner who tried to weigh one. 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."
