there's some things in life money can't buy

Today I got a new Canon 40D camera. Well, I didn't exactly buy it myself, but our photography department bought one for the staff to have and I get to hold onto it for the next couple of days. I sure wish it was mine to keep because it didn't take too long for me to realize....I want one.

I mean I had known that I wanted one for a while, but it wasn't until I truly got to see it, experience it and visualize the results of its power that I realized I needed one. Well is it really need or maybe more like want.

It's funny how those kinds of things are in life. There are things that we have that we are perfectly content with. We don't know that there is the possibility of something that is better out there for us to obtain. We go through life with this "good" thing that we already own just fine, until that moment when we realize there is something better. From then on we are restless until we can obtain that new and better item.

It seems to be like this with Christianity. Before we are saved, many people are what they see as perfectly content with the life they lead. They believe that, that is the only way. So what they've got is good enough. It is not until that moment that they realize there's something much better that they've got to have. Fortunate for them, salvation is as easy as a confession, an acceptance and a belief not over $1000 of debt like a Canon 40D.

There's some things in life that we simply can't have at the snap of a finger or the swipe of a credit card, but praise God salvation is freely given to those who believe. Kinda sounds like the MasterCard commercial "There's some things in life money can't buy, for everything else there's MasterCard."

Of course a free donation of money to buy a Canon 40D is always readily accepted. :)
