SUNDAY SMILE:
THE CHILDREN were all lined up for their first confession when Little Johnny’s turn came. The
priest asked him to confess his sins, and the boy promptly replied “Father, I threw a stone at
Jimmy.”
“That was a very misguided thing to do, my son,” said the priest patiently.
“It wasn’t misguided at all,” said Little Johnny. “I hit him.”
HOW MUCH DOES A PRAYER WEIGH?
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 store.
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, as 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.” “Okay” 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 scale went
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 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 instead 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 customer handed a fifty-dollar bill to the
grocer and said, “It was worth every penny of it.”
It was sometime later that the grocer discovered the scales were broken; therefore, only
God knows how much a prayer weighs.
