Twenty – three years ago today, June 13, school was out for the summer! It was also the day a pair of golden bands became a part of our life. They aren’t fancy, but they are the symbols of a life filled with love that will not be broken. That circle is still intact today. The love is still strong. God has been with us through every step of the last twenty-three years!
These golden bands were placed on our hands a week after they were purchased. They have only been off our hands when we had to have surgery! The wedding ring is a symbol of eternity. From the earliest of times the golden circle of the wedding band has been a symbol of wedded love. The rings remind us daily to keep our love pure and strong for one another. Being one unbroken circle, our rings symbolize this unending love. The rings are also a constant reminder of this high moment when we pledged our love to one another.
To all I love, I pray that you have (or will) find the one in which you have this unending love as I have found!
A favorite passage from the Bible which helps keep that circle unbroken follows:
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
Tidbits that can help keep that band of gold unbroken include: friendship, honesty, truthfulness, sensitivity, communication, and prayer with the presence of God everyday.
