I received an extravagant gift from a stranger last month. We were both participating in an online challenge. The option was coming up to enroll in the full 3-month course. At just under $100, it wasn't a lot of money (a great value actually) but it was a lot for me at that time. I needed more information to make my decision and posted some questions for feedback from others. I received an email offering to pay my way. To me, this was extravagant. My life has been impacted greatly by the people attending this course with me, and by the content. I'm thankful for his offer to cover my course fee and I am excited for the day when I get to pay it forward.
I've been around the church for so long I find it nearly impossible to hear the word extravagant without attaching it to God's love. I don't always believe it at the moment, and I certainly don't feel it most of the time. But, it's become a reflex to combine the words and I do believe His love is indeed extravagant and certainly something to be grateful for. I'm linking a post below that I wrote at a time when I was more aware of His love.
