Read this story
As I was walking
down life's highway
many years ago
I came upon a
sign that read
Heavens Grocery Store.
When I got a
little closer
the doors swung
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
human needed
was in that
grocery store
And what you
could not carry
you could come
back for more
First I got some
Patience.
Love was in that
same row.
Further down was
Understanding,
you need that
everywhere you go.
I got a box or
two of Wisdom
and Faith a bag
or two.
And Charity of
course
I would need some
of that too.
I couldn't miss
the Holy Ghost
It was all over
the place.
And then some
Strength
and Courage to
help me run this race.
My basket was
getting full
but I remembered
I needed Grace,
And then I chose
Salvation for
Salvation was for
free
I tried to get
enough of that to do
for you and me.
Then I started to
the counter
to pay my grocery
bill,
For I thought I
had everything
to do the Masters
will.
As I went up the
aisle
I saw Prayer and
put that in,
For I knew when I
stepped outside
I would run into
sin.
Peace and Joy
were plentiful,
the last things
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 asked
"Really now,
How much do I
owe?"
"My Child" He said. "God Paid your bill a long long time
ago."
