what if God charged us?
sitting in a sunbeam this morning, paying some bills and getting some invoices done, too. trying not to think about the big stack of paperwork called 'taxes' that needs to be finished up in the next week or so.
so much time spent on these tasks. every month, like it or not.
i was struck with the thought that God is free. what if He wasn't? would you pay for the sunshine on your shoulders at the end of a long winter? i would. would you pay for hearing the birds singing happily on a bright and shiny tuesday? i would.
would you pay for the chance to pray for unsaved loved ones, and friends in hard places, and people you don't know halfway around the world who need a home and something to eat? i would.
would you pay for the chance to live eternally? i would. how much? can we ever put a price on it, even though we seem to put a price on everything else?
thank God for His billing system. i plan to have some of what He gives away today. He has more where that came from, if you'd like some, too ... :)

No coupon required :)
I hear ya. Sometimes we take for granted the freebies that are the most needed and so graciously given to us with no strings attached.
Happy day, B!

What if we had to earn our salvation?
Thanks for making me thankful today. :-)
