No thanks…

Posted by Michelle

So I bought 2 huge bags of ice to go in our cooler for camping. It was too much and so I filled our cooler with our food, and 1 ½ bags of ice. Since Jason works at the camp office on Friday and one of the things he does is sell ice to people, I took it to him. When I got there, he was registering someone for their site. I walked up with my nice freezing half bag of ice and said, “You need any ice?” “No, thanks.” Ok, so I left it with Jason and went about my business back at our campsite, begging others for matches since I forgot those. Too much ice, and not enough fire….haha, maybe I should write about that! Another time…

So when Jason got back I asked if he got rid of the ice and he said no one would take it! There’s something about FREE. “No, thanks.” I started thinking about how crazy people are that they would rather say no to the very nice guy giving away a half a bag of perfectly freezing ice and purchase a small bag for 2 bucks. Then, I thought, yeah, it’s like the love of God…”people” just can’t accept it. It’s so easy for me to offer it to others. I can’t wait to offer it in India. THEN, I thought, oh, I’m “people”, you schmuck! Seriously, why is it that this crazy amazing love is free and so many times I just say, no thanks, I’d rather keep searching for love over here. No thanks, I’d rather feel unloved. What the what?

The God of the universe loves me!

Yes, please!
