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 of 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 going 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. As I was doing that, a BIBLE fell into my basket and I just couldn't take it out, for it is the Book of Life.
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, "No, really, how much do I 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."
