Heavens Store

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."
