"VISION OF THOUGHT"


"HEAVEN'S GROCERY STORE"

I was walking down life's highway 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 human needed was in that grocery store.
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 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 Life. 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,
GOD PAID YOUR BILL A LONG, LONG TIME AGO."
