I’m sure you have heard the popular phrase before, “The best things in life are free.” And though sometimes it doesn’t seem accurate, this is the honest to God truth. There is no doubting that having children requires monthly paychecks and that having a job can require pricey possessions, but the gift of a child and family activities such as going to church and making art with a painting easel never requires a cost. Love, faith, and acceptance are valuable qualities that have no money value. The best things in life are truly free.

Love: To love someone unconditionally and be loved in return is both free and one of the greatest gifts in the world. A mother’s love for her children does not cost a penny and there would never be a dollar amount that takes this love away.

Faith: It definitely doesn’t take a paycheck to know that there is a higher being out there, that you have a purpose, that you are not living life aimlessly without a bigger meaning. Sometimes it takes the absence of a loved one or a long series of difficult experiences to be in the “know” and believe that life does indeed have a purpose, and that it doesn’t cost a dime to have faith.

Acceptance: To love yourself and to be completely accepted by those around you could never have a price tag on it. Sometimes the smallest things have the biggest meanings. For example if your ex-best friend continues to invite you out with her new friends, that is a subtle way of still being accepted. Or if you grew up in a very racist neighborhood but later in life fall in love with a different race of people, it can result in the most fundamental types of acceptance that all human beings need to live life to the fullest. The gift of total acceptance.
