Everyone needs some good fortune....

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. So 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 out side 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."
