HEAVEN'S GROCERY STORE
Heaven's Grocery Store
Author Unknown
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 the next day 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 the HOLY GHOST, for He 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 was free,
So I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me.
Then I started up to the counter to pay my grocery bill,
for I thought I had everything to the MASTERS will.
As I went up the aisle, I saw a PRAYER: and I just had to
put that in,
For I knew when I stepped outside, I would run into sin.
PEACE and JOY were plentiful; they were last on
the shelf.
SONG and PRAISE 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 and said, "How much do I really owe?"
He smiled again and said,
"MY CHILD,
JESUS PAID YOUR BILL
A LONG, LONG TIME AGO."
