Heaven's Grocery Store

I was walking down life's highway, a long time ago

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 basket and said,

"My child, shop with care, everything a Christian needs is in this store".

First I got some PATIENCE, and LOVE was in the same row

Further down was UNDERSTANDING, you need that everywhere you go

I got a box or two of WISDOM, a bag or two of FAITH,

I just couldn't miss the HOLY GHOST, it was all over the place.

I stopped to get some STRENGTH and COURAGE to help me run the race

By then my basket was getting full, but I remembered I needed GRACE

I didn't forget SALVATION, for SALVATION, that was free

So I tried to get enough to save both you and me.

Then I started up 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 just had to put that 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

SONGS and PRAYERS were hanging near, so I just helped myself.

Then I saw the angel and asked,

"How much do I owe?"

She just smiled and said,

"Just take them everywhere you go."

Again I smiled at her and said,

"How much, now do I really owe?"

She smiled and said,

"My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago."

JE BRÛLE POUR TOI

You will always be my greatest adventure. I love you when you are happy, but I love you even more when you are sad. I love you on your joys, but I will love you even more on your struggles because I know life gets difficult for everybody. You still deserve to be loved no matter how ugly the situations are. You deserve all the love in the world, no matter how little you think of yourself. I will always think highly of you, because I know what you can bring into this world. I know what you can do, and I believe that you can do a hundred-fold more. I love you even if and when it hurts, because I know that’s when I’d have to love you more. That’s when I’d have to understand you the most. I will love you during the brightest days, and the darkest nights. I love you when you are whole and full, but I will love you even more when you think you’re broken or half empty. I will love you even more – even when you think you don’t deserve it. You do not need to ask why I’m always around. You do not

Within Those Eyes You have wonderful eyes. Not the type which drowns me in, But the type which makes me feel a little more alive. The ones which look cold; But deep inside, give warmth. They were beautiful. They made me feel beautiful. But beneath those eyes, I could see emotions, Or the things which you never told. Some fears, some regrets. The silence narrated stories, With the soft roaring waves. It held some secrets, some lies. Something that was imperfectly perfect. I found a something in your nothing. Something I needed to hold on. Some fears, some tears, And some illusion.

Take A Chance

If you never take a chance You may never get to dance. Life is full of ups and downs Bringing smiles and some tears. But if you always play it safe You may find out too late That life is meant to be Lived each day happily. You don't want to wonder "what if" An opportunity you did miss So take a chance In order to advance And you will find You will not be left behind. Playing it safe does not always pay You may regret it when you're gray! Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
