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 is in that grocery store. And all you can't carry, come back the next day for more.

First, I got some PATIENCE;
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 . 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. By then my basket 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.
AND were plentiful; they were on the last
shelf. SONG and PRAISE 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."
