Engagement ring—found
One afternoon, my daughter called me. She was very fearful and upset because she had just noticed her diamond engagement ring was missing. She knew she was wearing it when she left her house that morning, but she had no idea where or when the ring had fallen off. She had spent a busy day, working in a warehouse and running errands.
When she said she’d lost her ring, my response was swift and full of conviction. “No!” I said firmly. I repeated “no” over and over again to my daughter. I refused to entertain for one second the possibility that she could be separated from one iota of good, which belonged to her. I told her that the ring symbolized her husband’s love, devotion, commitment, and loyalty, which were reflections of God’s love toward her—and that love would always be safely intact. It was impossible under any circumstances for that love to be taken from her or slip away.
I reminded her of the many times over the years we had proved the truth that we can never be separated from what rightfully belongs to us. One time, another ring, which had been lost for many months, was found under the floor mat of a car that had been sold and that was about to be transferred to its new owner. I had listened in prayer and followed a spiritual intuition to look one more time where I had already looked many times, and I found it. I reminded her of other times, too, when lost items had been recovered.
