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 needed 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 He 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."
