Easter

As I was walking down life's highway many years ago, I came upon a sign that read Heaven's Grocery Store.
When I got a little closer the door 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 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 Master's will.

As I went up the aisle, I saw Prayer and put that in,
For I know 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."
