    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.  One handed me a   basket and said,  "My Child, shop with care".  Everything a human 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  it 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 do the MASTER'S will.   As I went up the aisle, I saw 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, GOD PAID YOUR BILL  A  LONG, LONG  TIME AGO."
