We get so focused on trying to live life to its fullest here on Earth that we forget our eternal prize.  It awaits us even when it is the furtherest thing from our minds.  A life where there is no pain or suffering.  No death.  No correction.  Let’s pray, “Maranatha!”  This means “Come ever so quickly Lord Jesus.”  The Bible says to pray this prayer.  Lord come and take us home.  This world is not my home, I am only passing through.

We paid $1.84 for a toothbrush last night, and then it hit me.   How crazy is this?  We pay $4 for a coffee at Starbucks (which rots our teeth) and it lasts 15min.  We pay $25 for a dinner at a restuarant. 

The toothbrush lasts for…what…3-4 months?  It saves you literally thousands in medical bills and we pay $1.84 for it.  My point is that you would probably pay $10 for a toothbrush if they asked that much.  $10 every 4 months to protect your dental history.  Brushing your teeth also gets a kiss from your spouse! 

But, we don’t see it that way.  We look at a piece of plastic with brissles and say, “What a rip off!  I can’t believe they are charging $1.84 for something that probably cost .12 to make!”

Moral of the story?  Be grateful that you have teeth, you live in a country where you can buy new toothbrushes and they don’t cost $10.  On the other hand, wake up to all the overpriced stuff you buy without a second glance.
