The Weight of Prayer

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."
