Heaven's Grocery Store

As I was walking down life's highway many years ago, I came upon 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, needed 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 So 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 Master's will. As I went up the aisle I saw Prayer and put that in, For I knew when I stepped out side 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 payed your bill a long long time ago." This poem has Been sent to you with love and for Blessings.
