The perpetually misspelled ads cheer me when I get tired of looking at my own misspellings.
Armoires, those tall wardrobe cabinets, pose a challenge. Craigslisters usually refer to them as armwars or armwores.
There's plenty of "Rot Iron Patio Sets" and "Chase Lownjes."
But my favorite is the inadvertent humor found in the "Free" column.
Free Chickens: I was driving and I hit their mother, so I took them in and cared for them. Very health and looking to get rid of them. Call...
Free water bottle: Works great! Ask for 5 dollars.
Sometime we may feel as though our luster is gone.
That our value is diminished.
That God is ready to list us in the "Free" column of a heavenly want-ad.
That, my friend, is a lie straight from the pit of hell.
The truth is we are valuable to God. He sees us as precious. He loves us with an everlasting love.
". . . I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you." Jeremiah 31:3
And here's more good news:
"Don’t be afraid, for the Lord . . . will be with you; he will not fail nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:8
So relax. The only thing in heaven's "Free" column is God's love.
