Chinese Pickled Beets - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 (No. 303) cans beets, drain and reserve the liquid
    1 c. sugar
    1 c. vinegar
    2 Tbsp. cornstarch
    24 whole cloves
    3 Tbsp. catsup
    3 Tbsp. cooking oil
    1 tsp. vanilla
    1 1/2 c. beef liquid
    dash of salt
Preparation
    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.
    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 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 the Holy Spirit for He 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 some grace.
    I didn't forget salvation, for salvation was free, so I tried to get enough of that 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 a prayer and I just had to put it in, for I knew when I stepped outside, I would run into sin.
    Peace and joy were plentiful, they were on the last shelf.
    Song and praise were hanging near, so I just helped myself.
    Then I said to the angel, \"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 do I really owe?\"
    He smiled again and said, \"My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago.\"
