Keep Your Eyes On JESUS

Yes Lord! I hear you speaking.

"Though her voice is small and mild,

All heaven stills for the prayer of a child."

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 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 that Grocery Store,
And all you couldn't carry, you could come back the next day for more.





First I some PATIENCE, Love was in the same row,
Further down was UNDERSTANDING, you need that everywhere you go,
I got a box of WISDOM, a bag or two of FAITH,
I just 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 this race.
By then my basket was getting full, but I remembered I needed some 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 Father'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 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 "Now, how much do I owe?"
He just smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go."
Again I smiled at him and said, "How much now do I really owe?"


He smiled again and said, "My child JESUS PAID YOUR BILL A LONG TIME AGO."

Another New Year! Stand Fast in the LORD

Every New Year's eve I make it a point to be in church on my knees praying that the new year will be far better than the last.

I believe the way I start out the year determines how my year will go.

Well from the looks of things so far, it has started out the same as last year or maybe even worse.

But God said, in His word, do not look at the circumstances, but look at me. However, I need to understand just what is going on; if it is me that is causing the onslaught of doom and gloom. Maybe I need an attitude check. My faith is hanging by a thread attached to His garment. He reminded me that's all I need to believe that He has not forsaken me and never will.

Therefore, having said all that, all I need is to TRUST HIM! He has a plan worked out for me all I need to do is relax and check the attitude. As the book of Proverbs says; Get Wisdom! Get Understanding!

"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you might have peace, in the world you shall have tribulation:but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." John 16:333 New KJV
