PAID IN FULL

Once again, I thought about all the chidren who were doing chores, and were getting paid by their Mother's. They were to receive a certain amount of $$$ for washing the car;cleaning the bathrooms;straightening their bedrooms;emptying the dishwasher for the week, and sweeping the sidewalk, and porch....
After their mother paid them, she told them, that for all the times that she sat up with them when they were sick;or fixed their school lunches;or bought them new school clothes.........for all those times that she did "the least of these" for them,that there was "no charge".
She did this, she told them, because she loved them...........
I was reminded, after hearing this story, of how Christ, chose to take all our accounts by paying the ultimate cost, when He hung on a cross, and our bill was PAID IN FULL!
