Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

No Strings Attached

There is nothing free in life, they say,
But we know differently today.
God's gift is absolutely free,
Abundant grace for you and me.

There is no fine print mentioned here,
No background check that we must clear,
No strings attached to pull us in,
No stated limit on our sin.

We cannot earn this gift divine;
Christ gave his life while saving mine.
The price was paid by God's own Son
Forgiveness granted!
We have won!
~ Dolores Fruth

John 3:16
For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have eternal life.

Have a wonderful Sunday.
Happyone :-)

Ahhh, ain't it the truth. Something for nothing...sin traded for eternal life...this Ozarks farm chick knows a good deal when she sees one, and this is the ultimate bargain. I'm so glad I popped in.

Ya'll have a wonderfully blessed day from the happy hills and hollers of the Missouri Ponderosa!!!
