Once again, here is The Pen to connect with you. Soon, we will join together to celebrate our Lord Jesus birthday.
To celebrate, we shop to buy gifts to our love ones on earth. We go to grocery stores to buy what we need to prepare for the celebration. But here I'll share with you the best grocery store.
Below share isn't my own creation. Copyright credit to unknown heaven guided author of the below titled Heaven's Grocery Store. I have kept this copy for decades since I saw it written in a pen holder when I used to roam around National Book Store in my country.
It is beautiful.
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 bit 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 Christian needed was in the Grocery Store.
And all you couldn't carry, you can come back the next day.
First I got some PATIENCE. LOVE was in the same row.
Farther down was UNDERSTANDING, you need that
everywhere you go.
I got a box or two of WISDOM, a bag or two of FAITH.
I 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 the race. But then my basket was getting full,
but I remembered I need some GRACE.
I didn't forget SALVATION, for salvation, that was free.
So I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me.
Then I started up the counter to pay the grocery bill.
For I thought I have everything to do my 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 on the last shelf.
SONG and PRAISES were hanging near so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the Angel, "Now how much do I owe?"
He just smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go."
Again I smiled and said, "How much do I really owe?"
The Angel smiled again and said,
"MY CHILD, JESUS PAID YOUR BILL A LONG TIME AGO."
Have a Merry Christmas to All!
