Devotional January 8, 2006 "Heaven's Grocery Store" Coffee With Pat Written By: Pat Aman copyright 2006 All rights reserved I found this poem in my records. I thought that you would enjoy reading it. Author is Unknown, but I remember seeing it in a book many years ago. You may have also read it. It was popular when I was a teenager. Heaven's Grocery Store. 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 later found myself I was standing there inside I saw a host of angels that were standing everywhere. One handed me a basket and said, "My child, now 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, and LOVE was in the same row. Further down was UNDERSTANDING, which you need where ere you go. I got a box or two of WISDOM, and a bag or two of FAITH. I just couldn't miss the HOLY GHOST cause it was all over the place. I stopped to get some STRENGTH and COURAGE to help me run the race; By then my basket was getting full, but I remembered I needed GRACE. I didn't forget SALVATION for Salvation there 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 now I thought I had everything to do my Master's Will. At the end of the aisle I saw PRAYER, and I just had to put that in. For I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin. PEACE and JOY were plentiful; they were on the very last shelf. SONGS and PRAISES were stacked nearby, so I just helped myself Then I said to the Angel, " Now how much do I owe?" He just smiled and said to me, "Just take them where ere you go." Again, I smiled at him and said, " How much do I really owe?" He smiled again and said, "MY CHILD, JESUS PAID YOUR BILL A LONG TIME AGO"     Blessings, Prayers and Love,, Pat Aman     BACK TO DEVOTONAL PAGE The Joy Of The Lord Is My Strength Laughter Is Good For The Soul Unless otherwise stated, all content on this site is © 2006 by Coffee With Pat.
