When I M ust Leave You When I must leave you for a little while Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years, But start out bravely with a gallant smile
And for my sake and in His name, Live on and do all things the same. Feed not your loneliness on empty days But fill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near. And never, never he afraid to die For l am waiting for you in the sky.

H eaven fs G rocery Store
I was walking dawn life's highway a long time ago, One day 1 saw a sign that read, "Heaven's G rocery S tore." As I got a little closer, the door cam e open wide, and when I cam e to m yself; I was standing in side. 1 saw a host o f angels, they were standing everywhere. One handed me a basket and said, "My child, shop with care!" Everything a Christian n eeded was at that grocery store. And a ll you couldn't carry, you could com e back the next day fo r more. First, 1 g ot som e PATIENCE, LOVE was in the sam e row; further down was UNDERSTANDING, you n eed that everywhere you go. I got a box or two o f WISDOM, a bag or two o f FAITH, I ju st couldn't miss the HOLY GHOSTfo r it was all over the place. I stopped to g et som e STRENGTH and COURAGE to help me run this race; by then my basket was getting fu ll but I rem em bered I n eeded som e GRACE. I didn'tforg et SALVATION, fo r SALVATION was free, so I tried to g et enough o f that, to save both you and me. Then I started up to the counter, to pay my grocery bill, fo r I thought I h ad everything to do my MASTER'S WILL. As I went down the aisle, I saw PRAYER, and I ju st had to put that in, fo r I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin. PE4CE and JO Y were plentiful, they were on the last shelf. SONG and PRAISE were hanging near, so I ju st helped myself. Then I said to the angel, now how much do I owe? He ju st sm iled and said, my child, ju st take them everywhere you go. Again I sm iled at him and said, "How much do I really owe?" H e sm iled again, and said my child, JESU S PAID YOUR BILL a long time ag o.!
