| JANUARY 6, 2013 -- “Heaven’s Grocery Store”
by Ron DeMarco
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 came to myself I was standing inside. I saw a host of Angels, they were standing everywhere. One handed me a blanket and said, “My child shop with care.” Everything a Christian needs is in that grocery store, and all you can’t carry, come back the next day for more. First, I got Patience, Love was in the same row. Further down was Understanding, needed everywhere you go. I got a box or two of Wisdom, a bag or two of Faith. I just couldn’t miss the Holy Spirit, it was all over the place. I stopped to get some Strength and Courage to help me run this place, but then my blanket was getting full, and I remembered I needed Grace. I didn’t forget Salvation, which like the others was free, so I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me. Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill, for I thought I had everything to do my master’s will. As I went up the aisle, I saw Prayer and had to put it in, for I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin. Peace and Joy were plentiful; they were on the last shelf. Song and Praises were hanging near, so I just helped myself. Then I said to the Angel, “How much do I owe?” The Angel smiled and said, “Just take them everywhere you go.” Again, I politely asked “How much do I really owe?” The Angel smiled again and said, “My Child, Jesus Paid Your Bill A Long Time Ago.”
As we all go into 2013, let us do as the Angel said, “Just take them everywhere you go!” Amen. |
