Heaven's Grocery Store

Here is a poem that was in Florence Boulevard Church of Christ's Bulletin, and since women are the ones who usually do the grocery shopping I thought it was pretty relevant.

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 blanked and said, "My Child shop with care".

Everything a Christian needs is in that grocery store,

and all you can't carry, come back the next day for more.

First, I got some Patience,Love was in the same row.

Further down was Understanding, needed 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, it was all over the place.

I stopped to get some Strength and Courage to help me run this

race,but then my blanket was getting full, and I remembered I

needed Grace.I didn't forget Salvation, which like the others was

free,so I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me.

Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill,

for I thought I had everything to do my master's will.

As I went up the aisle, I saw Prayer and had to put it in.

for I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin.

Peace and Joy were plentiful, they were on the last shelf.

Song and Praises were hanging near, so i just helped myself.

Then I said to the Angel, "How much do I owe?"

The Angel smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go."

Again, I politely asked "How much do I really owe?"

The Angel smiled again and said, "My Child, Jesus Paid Your Bill

A Long Time Ago."
