Read The Small Print, if there is any.

It could be because I’m a man.  I don’t usually read the fine print. Then again, on occasion I will read the instructions or the manual. After hearing a horror story about visa cards I thought I better read the fine print. 

Turns out the person who bought it had to pay a $6.75 fee. Really, pay someone to buy money? Then, if you don’t use it for a year, they start taking money off for ‘administration’ fees.  The person who I heard about forgot they had it and by the time they tried to use it, all the money was gone. That’s crazy, but you have to remember visa knows all the tricks.

Then again, isn’t much of life like that? You think something comes along that moves you and you are disappointed because it’s not what you thought. Be reassured, that doesn't include all of life. So much in life is amazing and wonderful and beautiful and fulfilling. We just have to look around and notice it. Here are two things in my life that go beyond paying for something.

We have children we love and they love us back. The grand kids sometime make us think and scratch our heads, but that doesn’t stop us from loving them. And what about brothers and sisters. We started life with them and in life we will walk on together until our last breath. That is what love is all about. It’s a reflection of the second thing. God never charged us for His love, grace, forgiveness and eternal life. We just had to ask. No small print, no deferred  cost added. Nothing! Here is what it says in Act; “Believe in the Lord Jesus. Then you . . .will be saved.”  Yes, it’s that simple. Go ahead, He’s listening.

Something to think about.
