THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

This phrase brings to mind such "not sold in stores" products as the Chia Pet and the Clapper. These days, "not sold in stores" items are sold in "Not Sold in Stores" Stores! Although, there have always been those who tried to sell the gift of God (ex: indulgences), it remains and always will remain a free gift. The gift of God is the Lord Jesus. He is the gift who keeps on giving!
