IF YOU call within the next two hours you will receive two for the price of one. Not only that, shipping will be free! You can’t buy these in any store so you must act now; they are only available “as seen on TV”. Call now and get this amazing offer for not one; but two for the price of one!
I KNOW you have seen these TV commercials. The only way you miss them is if you never watch TV. I have bought a few of these items; “As seen on TV”, but in the stores. The price is still $19.95 for one and of course no extra shipping charge. For the most part the product is good but a come on is a come on, no matter how you look at it.
ON THE internet you will see advertisements that say; “risk free for 30 days”. Order today at no cost to you except for the shipping charge. So you apply for the 30 day order and pay the shipping charge. The following month you have a charge on your credit card for the total amount plus the shipping and low and behold the product comes in the mail. In small print you were to let them know, you didn’t want the product. Returning this item is like pulling teeth. Legally they do not have to refund you! But morally, they should!
I AM NOT advertising for Wal-Mart but their return policy is one of the easiest I have come across. We don’t return very many things but on occasion a return is necessary. You go to their customer service and give them the product being returned along with your sales receipt. Most times they give you what you paid in cash. Then you can go get the product you want and you have the money to pay for it; or not. Their policy is up front and personal, don’t you think?
MY SISTER Jewel, used to shop at Meyers and Franks before they became Macy’s. She would purchase something off their cosmetic line because they would give her a large bag with free products. Many times I was the recipient of her purchase, or the free gifts. The word ‘FREE’ has a way of catching us and we give in without a struggle.
THE WORDS; free, on sale, 50% off, marked down etc are the bait that has been used for years in selling and buying of merchandise. We buy things that we have a tendency of storing up, letting decay, wear out, give away or throw away; when we know they will not last forever! Eventually all things are biodegradable regardless of what people say.
“SINCE ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, they are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as an expiation by his blood, to be received by faith.” Romans 3:23-25a If God had put his gift of salvation in a bag along with a new shade of lipstick or a power tool marked 50% off would it be easier for you to accept?
“WHEN YOU were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is sanctification and its end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:20-23
WHEN YOU were living your life of sinfulness what kinds of fruits did you end up with? I can assure you that when you accept God’s free gift you get it without paying a price because God’s gift is priceless. You couldn’t pay it, but God’s Son could! When you become a slave to Him, you will no longer be a slave to yourself. Oh what a relief it is when you don’t have to keep thinking; what’s in it for me and how can I keep up with the Jones! Oh what pleasure you will receive when you forget about yourself and can put Joy first in your life. Jesus first, others second and yourself last. By Jane Ann Crenshaw 2/18/11
