SHOP IN 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, and one angel 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. 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 the 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 of that

to save you and me.

Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill. For I thought I had everything to do my Master’s will. As I went up the aisle, I saw prayer and just had to put that in. For I knew when I stepped outside, 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 now how much do I owe? He just smiled and said,

“Just take them everywhere you go.” How much do I really owe?

He smiled and said, “My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago!”
