Almost everyone used to collect these stamps at the grocery stores, the gas stations, and other similar places.  We would stick them in small books until the books were full.  Then we would take the filled books to a redemption store and redeem the books of stamps for real, physical items such as lamps, hair dryers, dishes, luggage, etc.  It was a fun thing to do.  It made us believe we were getting something for nothing.

When I was a child, we did not have redemption stores in the country, so we had to mail the books into a redemption center, and they would send the merchandize to us in the mail--awesome, right?

When we as believers obey our Lord in good works, we are laying up treasures in heaven where rust does not corrupt and thieves do not break through and steal (Matt. 6:19).

When we get to heaven, it will be like going to the redemption store.  Psalm 58:11 says, Verily there is a reward for the righteous.  Of course, these rewards will be given to our Lord for his glory!

S & H Green Stamp
 

This stamp was found in an old book that was given to me by Bro. Charles Ashcraft.  I had not seen one of these stamps for many years.  I will keep it for a souvenir.
