Shop In Heaven's Grocery Store
Written for me way back in 1998.
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 and 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 could not 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 the race.
By then my basket was getting full, but I remember 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 towards the counter to pay my grocery bill. For I thought I had everything to do my Master's will. As I went up to 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 so plentiful, as 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 smiles and said, "
Just take them everywhere you go..."
"How much do I really owe?" He just smiled again and said,
"My Child, Jesus Paid your bill a long time ago."Dedicated to Mr. Henry V. Cabrera
May God continue to bless you always.
