A two minute read....... 
 
Read this story, and follow the recommendation at the end... 
 
As I was walking down life's highway many years ago 
 
I came upon a sign that read 
 
Heavens Grocery Store. 
 
When I got a little closer 
 
the doors swung 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 human needed 
 
was in that grocery store 
 
And what you could not carry 
 
you could come back for more 
 
First I got some Patience. 
 
Love was in that same row. 
 
Further down was Understanding, 
 
you need that everywhere you go. 
 
I got a box or two of Wisdom 
 
and Faith a bag or two. 
 
And Charity of course 
 
I would need some of that too. 
 
I couldn't miss the Holy Ghost 
 
It was all over the place. 
 
And then some Strength 
 
and Courage to help me run this race. 
 
My basket was getting full 
 
but I remembered I needed Grace, 
 
And then I chose Salvation for 
 
Salvation was for free 
 
I tried to get enough of that to do 
 
for you and me. 
 
Then I started to the counter 
 
to pay my grocery bill, 
 
For I thought I had everything 
 
to do the Masters will. 
 
As I went up the aisle 
 
I saw Prayer and put that in, 
 
For I knew when I stepped outside 
 
I would run into sin. 
 
Peace and Joy were plentiful, 
 
the last things 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 asked "Really now, 
 
How much do I owe?" 
 
"My child" he said, "God paid your bill 
 
a long long time ago."
