Given

It is important for me to have this photo here to remind me of losing my wedding ring in several feet of snow, many yards away from where it could possibly have fallen, in the cemetery where I went to take flowers to my Mom. And how my heart immediately knew it was lost forever, due to how it came off and the deep snow surrounding me everywhere.

But when I asked for a miracle, the Spirit spoke an instruction to my heart. And when I followed that, God gave me one more impression. And then He gave me my ring back.

It isn't expensive (part of the reason I love it, because Jacob listened to exactly what I asked for) and would be quite easy to replace. But I love this ring so very much, for a whole lot of reasons. And the fact that it is still mine, means more than most people would understand.

But that is okay. Because I understand. And feel thankful dozens of times each day when I see it on my hand. And remember how God gave it to me in such a beautifully, humbling way. A lot like He gave me Jacob Allen. I will never stop thanking Him for that gift. Not in this life and not in the next. I'm so blessed.
