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 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."
