Cheap Thrills

We’ve all heard the phrase, you get what you pay for. I’ve been hearing it a lot from my husband, lately. We’ve been arguing over the cheapness of the headphones I buy. Just because I bought $3 earphones that required a $5 check to be sent in with the warranty disbursement… Anyway. So I realize that certain things are worth paying more for. In most instances, the less expensive items are of a lesser quality. With one exception…

Many years ago, someone offered me a “gift” for free. I always want to know what the catch is when something is free. You can’t get something for nothing, right? The gifts that seem too good to be true usually are. This one promised to meet all of my needs. To comfort me and never leave me. And as if this wasn’t enough, it offered forgiveness of sins and eternal life! In a kingdom with golden streets! Seriously? Yep. Too good to be true? Absolutely. But it really is free. Since you can’t earn it or pay for it, I guess you don’t get what you pay for. Thankfully. Just accept it. It’s a steal.
