Thought of the week - God's Grocery Store

On life's path I saw a sight I'd never seen before,  A simple building with a sign that read "God's Grocery Store,"  Curious, I stepped inside to see what might be there.  The worker's were God's Angels and they were everywhere.  One pointed to a shopping cart, and said in manner mild. "Be sure you shop carefully, and prayerfully, my child.  This store is always open, each customer a guest,  the owner is the Lord of Life, His merchandise the best.  I took a box of patience and filled a bag with love.  On the lower shelf was fortitude, and wisdom just above.  With faith I filled my shopping cart of that I need much more.  I saw a special sale on grace in the middle of the store.  In the front I found salvation with a sign that said, "It's free!" My name was printed on one box, reserved there just for me.  My cart was full but I exclaimed, "I must come back for more!" the Angel said, "Come back anytime, this is God's Grocery Store."  Then at the checkout counter, I found peace I hungered for, And next to it I saw spirit and joy I hadn't known before.  The angel at the register tallied up my bill, but when I saw the total cost, it made my heart stand still.  "This cost," I said, "is far too great; something is amiss in all the world there is not enough, to pay a bill like this!"  "No need to worry dearest one," the angel then replied, "Your bill has long ago been paid, the day that Jesus died."  - Author Unknown
