When my family was in town for my mom's funeral we had to divide all of her stuff. I was so impressed by how smoothly it went. I've heard some horror stories from friends in the same situation so I'm very grateful. Here are the most wanted items. My younger sister, Mary got my parent's wedding rings.
I've been thinking a lot about the meaning of wedding rings lately. To me, when I look down at the ring on my finger I am reminded of the promise I made to God (and to my husband) that I will love and trust Him (and His plan), especially when we are in the midst of our worst conflict. I will forgive my husband and will accept him the way God made him. I will try to see him like God sees him. And most of all, I will obey Him by trying to do the right thing even when I don't feel like it.
I'm very glad my parents took their commitment seriously. I want to do whatever it takes to pass on to my children and grandchildren that I take mine seriously, too! After all, I believe it's the greatest gift we can give our children!
I'm praying for all marriages today. I'm praying especially for those who are in a "wintery" season where Satan is trying his best to destroy what God created. I'm praying for the same kind of miracle He performed in my marriage.

Ang... so thankful all went smoothly. I have been witness to some of the "ugliness" that can come out after the death of a loved one. Thank you for praying for marriages... Satan certainly wants to destroy what God has brought together doesn't he. My wedding ring has the stone that sat in the setting of my Grandmother's ring... her devotion to my Grandfather and vice versa was and is an inspiration to me!
Love you friend! Praying for you...
