I was just looking through my jewerly box today, and came across a beautiful piece that I received a few years a go from my younger brother, Josiah. I instantly remembered how much I loved wearing it and it brought back so many wonderful memories (He gave it to me right around the time that I had my first son, Micah). I wore it daily, until Micah grew into his toddler years and one day inevitably broke the chain that it was attached to. I lovingly placed it in my "special" Jewerly box and assured myself that I would have the chain replaced and repaired shortly. Now here I am, all of these years later, and the pretty piece is still in it's original condition. I decided to write about it anyway because it was so thoughtful. What I really admired about it was how it opened as a locket and it came with a card enclosed that said that "This locket is to carry all of the prayerful thoughts for those you love". I would write down precious thoughts for our family and then carry it inside. It's amazing how REAL my prayers felt, simply by carrying them on little notes, close to my heart like that. Anyway, I've placed a ribbon through the locket, determined that it should never be forgotten again. Although I can't remember what all my my prayers were exactly, I'll like to think it was because they were answered so thoroughly. Just a thought.... but a Lovely one.
