Rings recovered

Louise Alder

I had just left my daughter’s bedroom, when I heard her say, “Oh no, oh no.” I quickly returned to her room. Amanda was rummaging through her gym bag. She anxiously repeated: “They’re gone, I just know it. My rings!” I hugged her and reassured her that she could trust God’s care under all circumstances and that nothing could be lost or stolen.

She had gone to work out at a gym and had placed the two rings on her phone case in the changing room. Later, she left the gym with her phone and other personal items, but she was home for over an hour before she realized she didn’t have her rings.

I shared with my daughter a verse from Proverbs that had caught my attention that day. “The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord” (21:31). I explained that our battle was to not be tempted to believe that anyone would want to take something that didn’t belong to them. Our safety and everyone’s safety would be to trust God alone.
