Jeremiah 29:11-13 are really really wonderful verses. It’s great, Kathryn, that you are dedicating yourself to obey God more and more keenly.

I love that through all the pain and suffering you’ve experienced, you focus on the miracles. Our God is a God of miracles. And even more miraculous than Him sending you your ring, is the knowledge that seeking to please God binds you to him.

I loved this! I love to see how people really USE the atonement in their lives; that it is something REAL. Thank you.

I’m truly sorry Amanda…I can honestly say I know how that feels!
Janelle, I loved your hope diamond metaphor; I don’t know if you’ll find any diamonds in illness, but frequently I find pearls. I finally learned the true meaning and purpose of longsuffering when I shattered my ankle several years ago. That understanding has been a pearl in my life…

Thanks to everyone for the kind words…

I lost my wedding ring awhile ago. It’s an awful feeling. I think mine went down the drain. 🙁

I’m glad that in the search for your diamond you found so much else. That faith and testimony is inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

Oh, what a horrible thing–to lose your wedding ring. I thought I lost mine once and immediately started tearing up, only to be relieved about a minute and a half later when I found it. You’re much tougher than me, Kathryn.
