Class Rings and other things
It's here! C's senior class ring is here!
I went out to the mailbox and there was this small white mailing envelope with a postage of .67. addressed to C. I thought maybe this was C's class ring....but no, surely not in this unadorned, dinky mailing package! I brought it in and asked her to quick open that package. She did. We all stood around and ooohd and ahhd as she put it on and modeled it for us. The ring is truly beautiful. It is amethyst with white gold. Her name and graduation date are engraved on the sides of the ring with her initials inside. I am not sure what I imagined for this moment but I have to admit that I felt kind of let down. After saving for the ring, searching for just the right one, waiting and waiting for it to come, well I guess I felt like there should be more "ceremony" or something to the moment when she would receive the ring. Of course, to me the ring is such a strong symbol of these past years. -- Of struggles, hard work, and joy.....laughter, singing, dancing, playing, setting and achieving goals. I noticed how dark the purple stone is. C said," yes, it is deep, like me." How true--- Oh, how true my dear one. So much love and prayer have gone into your life. Not nearly enough of course and yet just enough.
A ring, a circle, a life.
Thanks be to God who brings us every good a perfect gift!
