HEAVEN'S GROCERY STORE!



HEAVENS GROCERY STORE?

 

As I was walking down

life’s highway many years ago,

I came across a sign that read

‘ HEAVEN’S 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 a faith bag or two

and charity of course. 

I would need some of that too….

I couldn’t miss the Holy Ghost. 

He was all over the place.

And then some strength and

courage came to help me run this race. 

My basket was getting full,

but I remembered I needed Grace. 

Then I chose Salvation

for Salvation was for free. 

I tried to get enough of that

 to do for you and me….

Then I thought that I had

everything to do the Master’s will. 

As I went up the aisle,

I saw Prayer and put that in

for I knew when I stepped outside,

I could run into Sin.

Peace and Joy were plentiful,

the last things on the shelf.

Songs 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  time ago.
