Giving Blood to Get Something

A couple of weeks ago, I got a flier from the blood bank asking me to give blood on October 6th. Here is the deal, if you gave blood you got a free "Enjoy" coupon book. Wooohooo, free stuff! (might be my hidden love language) Of course, I gave blood. Of course I had my free cookies and got my free coupon book. Yes, I am willing to give my blood to get something. In college they gave us t-shirts for giving blood. For a while my wardrobe consisted of blood t-shirts.
Now here is the part that is almost incomprehensible for me. Jesus shed his blood, not to get something for free, but to free us. Think about that. That whole idea just has me really thankful today.
