Heaven's Little Gift Shop

A Spiritualist's version of Inspiration

 

 

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.
 

When I came to, I was standing inside.
I saw a host of
ANGELS.
They were standing everywhere.
One handed me a basket and said,
"Shop with care, now".
Everything a person needs to live a loving and good life was in that grocery store.
And all you couldn't carry,
you could come back the next day for more.

First, I got some PATIENCE:
LOVE was in the same row.
Further down was
UNDERSTANDING:
you need that everywhere you go.

I got a box or two of WISDOM,
and a bag or two of
FAITH.
I just couldn't miss sprinkles of the white light,
for they were all over the place.
I stopped to get some
STRENGTH and COURAGE
to help me run this life race.

By then my basket was getting full,
but I remembered I needed some
HOPE.
I didn't forget
SPIRITUALISM,
for
SPIRITUALISM was free,
so I tried to get enough of that
to guide both you and me.

Then I started up to the counter to pay my grocery bill,
for I thought I had everything to guide my spirit's will.
As I went up the aisle, I saw
PRAYER:
and I just had to put that in,
for I knew someday I would need help or to help a friend.

PEACE AND JOY were plentiful;
they were last on the shelf.
KINDNESS and OPEN-MINDEDNESS 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 and share them everywhere you go."

Again, I smiled and said,
"How much do I really owe?"
He smiled again and said,
"Keep the chain of love alive in you and all is paid in full ."
