Heaven's Grocery Store

Received this from a wonderful friend and wanted to share:
A minute read.......
Read this story, and Follow the recommendation at the end... 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. 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 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.'
This poem has
Been sent to you
With love and for
Blessings.
It originated in
The Netherlands
And has been
Around the world 9 times.
The blessing has now
Come to you
Do not send money
As this message
Has no price.
Do Not keep this letter
But send it on to
Someone who Needs blessing.
