Freebies? I Doubt It

There's No Such Thing as a Free Lunch
(guess these little guys' open mouths reveal
that they either don't know that or don't believe it)

We get so excited when we think we're getting something for nothing. We send off for samples (this allows businesses to get our mailing or email address so they can sell our information to others). We get two items for the price of one (all the time we're actually paying for two with a slight discount for that privilege). We buy a car at 1.99 percent interest (car is overpriced to pay the difference in what would have been a kickback to the dealership). We apply for a credit card at zero percent interest to pay-off debt (one late payment on any of our bills, including utilities, and the card's interest rate jacks up to an absorbent amount - 0 to 21% or more). I could go on and on but I'm sure you get the point.

Sorry, it is only an illusion that we get "freebies" - in fact, it is as far from the truth as an elephant flying to the moon tomorrow morning. (Don't you dare ask me at what time its leaving).

Why, even our Salvation didn't come totally free. There was a price paid - not by us, but by the Lord. He paid the ultimate price for us at Calvary.
