 “Heaven's
Grocery Store”
I was
walking down life's highway and I came across a door, with
a sign posted upon it that read - ‘Heaven's Grocery
Store'.
As I got
a little closer, the door opened wide. When I came to myself,
I was standing inside.
I saw
a host of angels, they were standing everywhere, and one handed
me a basket and said, "My child, shop with care"
Everything
a Christian needed was in that grocery store, all that you
couldn't carry, you could come back for more.
First
I got some Patience, and 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 couldn't miss the Holy Spirit, for he was all over
the place, and of course some Strength and Courage,
to help me run the race.
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 do my master's will.
As I went
to the aisle, I saw Prayer and I just had to put that
in, for I know when I stepped outside, I would run right into
sin.
Peace
and Praises were hanging near, so I just helped myself,
for they do chase away the fear, and bring joy to everyone
else.
Then I
said to the angel, "Now how much do I owe?"
He just 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 time ago."
