Suitcase Is Not Needed

Did you know that all airlines now charge for baggage? It’s true. Well, except WestJet. Some charge more than others.  We have taken notice that Frontier actually doubles the cost of baggage at each contact point. If you book a flight with them, there is a set price for baggage. If you don’t purchase it then at booking and decide that you want to take a baggage after all, they double the cost, even if it’s 2 seconds after booking. Then, if you discover you need a checked bag and you get to the airport, they triple the price. What’s with that? The saying is again true, buyer beware.

I’ve finally have it figured out how to get beyond this. It’s only taken me over 10 years to figu

I’ve finally have it figured out how to get beyond this. It’s only taken me over 10 years to figure this out. At times I’m a slow learner.  This comes from my good friend Craig who travels a lot to Texas. He said, don’t take anything with you that you can’t buy there. Even tooth paste. Honest, he did. Well I’m going to take it one step further, don’t take anything at all but what you can carry on without a charge. Buy what you need when you get to where you’re going. Why not? Every time you go somewhere, you get the vacation or business trip and you can include a shopping spree at the same time. Then you go to a second hand shop or garage sale and buy a suitcase or carry on case and your set. That is if you remembered to purchase that baggage option at booking.

This way, you have saved money and are well dressed in up to date attire.  Here is the application. If we are Christ followers, we know we are going on one amazing trip one day. We will be traveling home. Jesus said He is going to prepare a place for us. I take that to mean the place He has for us is fully furnished. We won’t need to take anything with us. There are no extra fees or luggage to carry. We will just one day find ourselves at heaven’s door. What an amazing moment when we see how Christ alone has that place for us and every detail is taken care of right down to a tube of toothpaste.

Something to think about.
