HEAVEN'S GROCERY STORE
I was walking down life's highway a long time ago. One day I saw a sign that read Heaven's
Grocery Store. As I got a little closer, the door came open wide. And when I came to myself, I was
standing inside.
I saw a host of angels, they were standing everywhere. One handed me a basket and said, "My
child, shop with care." Everything a Christian needed was in that Grocery Store! And all you
couldn't carry, you could come back for more.
First I got some PATIENCE, LOVE was in the same row. Further down was
UNDERSTANDING, you need that everywhere you go. I got a box or two of WISDOM, a bag or
two of FAITH, I just couldn't miss that HOLY GHOST for it was all over the place.
I stopped to get some STRENGTH and COURAGE to help me run this race. By then my basket
was getting full but I remembered I needed some GRACE.
I didn't forget SALVATION, for Salvation that was free. So I tried to get enough to save.....both for
you and me. Then I started up to the counter to pay my grocery bill. For I thought I had everyting to
do my Master's will.
As I went up to the aisle, I saw PRAYER and I just had to put that in, For once I stepped outside, I
knew I would run right into SIN. PEACE and JOY were plentiful, they were on the last shelf. SONG
and PRAISES were hanging near, so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the Angel, "Now how much do I owe?" He smiled and said, "Just take them
everywhere you go." Again I smiled at him and said, "How much do I really owe?" He smiled again
and said, "MY CHILD, JESUS PAID YOUR BILL A LONG TIME AGO."
