Seeing the need was happening family woman continued, "Please sir I'll pay as soon as possible " . The owner said he could not give him credit because he had no credit score at your store .

Standing near the counter a customer who overheard the conversation between the store owner and the woman was . The customer came and told the shop owner that he would take care of what the woman needed for her family.

The owner is a very crude way , asked the woman , " you have a shopping list ? " . The woman said, " Yes sir."

The eyes of the owner and the client were filled with amazement when the scales went up and down the most well rested . The owner then , while looking balance and reluctantly said : "I can not believe it ."

The customer smiled and the owner started putting groceries on the other side of the scale. The scale did not move so he continued getting more and more food until they could take no more .

The owner stood there with great disgust. Finally , he grabbed the piece of paper and looked with much amazement .... There was a shopping list , it was a prayer which said:

"Dear Lord, you know my needs and I'll leave this in your hands."

The shop owner gave her the groceries that he had gathered and stood there in silence. The woman thanked him and left his shop. The customer handed a fifty-dollar bill to the owner and said:

" Worth every penny of the ticket ."
