I have in my wallet one of my favorite things...a Target gift card. I got it for my birthday and now it's been there for almost a month. I have to think really hard about what I want with my free stuff card. Hmmm...what should I get? I always say I don't really need anything which of course if I only bought things because I needed them, I would be spending my gift card on toilet paper, toothpaste and shampoo. (typical) I could get a cosmetic or beauty product that I would never spend money on otherwise. Or I could find a CD I like. Or maybe one of those handy dandy new disposable toilet bowl cleaners...No wait! I'm back to stuff I need. Actually, who really needs that new toilet bowl cleaning wand...just get your dang toilet bowl brush, use it and rinse it! Brother...just another thing for us to buy. Oh sorry, back to what I should buy with my free stuff card.
I think the most fun part of getting a gift card is knowing that you're about to get something for nothing. I think that's why I keep it my purse for so long...it prolongs the excitement of the free gift. I didn't really do anything to deserve the card, it was just my birthday. I wish I could have that same excitement all the time in regard to the free gift of grace I have. I know I have this free gift from God but I'm not always very good at remembering it much less giving thanks for it or remembering my full worth because of it. I think I'll print a wallet sized card that says, "GRACE", lamenate it and stick it in my wallet. That should do the trick! Now, I'm off to the Target. woo hoo
