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 Christian needs 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, JESUS PAID YOUR BILL A LONG, LONG TIME
AGO."
"ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER YOU SHALL ASK IN PRAYER,
BELIEVING, YOU SHALL RECEIVE." (MATTHEW 21:22)
