Have you ever had a package ofcheap socks and they just fell apart and have holes in themafter only wearing them a few times? It is something that isfrustrating, you spend money on something and it just does notlast.One of the things that I have found out in life, is that thecheapest things are not always the least expensive, especiallyif you have to replace it shortly after you purchase it, or it doesnot work like it really should, or you get so frustrated with it thatyou get mad and throw it away. I have always found that thereare a few things that you need to spend the extra money on tomake sure that you get something of quality, a few of thosethings are tools, tires, shoes, and Oreos (generic Oreos just donot taste right.).Many times, we do not take care of those things that are cheapor free. I know someone who has outright stopped buyingthings for his children that are not necessary after they failed totake care of some things. They told him, “why should I takecare of it, we can just get another one.” What he does now, is ifone of his children wants something, they have to do somethingto earn it. They have to do chores, help out a sibling, or anothergood deed to get what they want. This makes them realize thatthings that they want in life are earned, and things that areearned, are things we want to take care of.I sometimes think that we forget that our grace was earned forus and given to us for free, and I have to admit that I too, forgetthis at times. We have the opportunity to accept the free gift ofgrace that Jesus Christ has earned for us. He did the work andgives it to us for free or cheaply, only requiring us to follow theexample that He set. I know that it is not always easy to followthe Christian life, but it is something that we are called to do.We sometimes do not take care of our faith because it is free tous and it is something that we can do freely.In other regions of the world, following the faith is not so easyand, in some cases, it is dangerous to practice the faith. InChina a few weeks ago, there were a group of Catholics in achurch for Mass and they were thrown out of the church andthe building was destroyed because it was not part of thegovernment sanctioned Church.The interesting thing about our “cheap” grace, it is a veryprecious thing, it was paid for with an expensive price, with theblood of Christ. It was bought and paid for and then given to usfor free, and the only thing we need to do to get it, is to accept itand follow our Lord and Savior who wants to give us this giftthat no amount of money can buy.Father Ken Halbur4
