The Ring
Read: Philippians 1:12-17
The things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel. Philippians 1:12
Bible In One Year: 2 Chronicles 25-27; John 16
I'm not much for jewelry. A wedding ring was all I ever wanted until now. Next to my wedding ring, on the little finger of my left hand, rests a simple silver band. It's my daughter Melissa's.
Soon after Mell died in a car accident in June 2002, just 6 weeks short of her 18th birthday, I was in her bedroom when I found the ring. I recalled having seen it on her beautiful hand.
I slipped it on and was surprised that it fit. Now I wear it all the time. Here's why: I can look at it or touch it and feel close to my precious daughter. Knowing that it graced her finger warms my heart when I miss her the most.
But there's another reason I wear her ring. I want people to notice it and ask me about it. Then I can tell them of Melissa and her life of love, faith, and fun. I hope it opens conversations that will allow me to introduce people to Melissa's Savior, and mine.
The apostle Paul used his chainshis imprisonmentto advance the gospel (Philippians 1:12). It wasn't that he enjoyed being incarcerated, but he knew it could be turned to good purposes. It's like the ring. I wish it wasn't mine; I wish Melissa was still enjoying it. But she's not, and I want this tragic circumstance to bring glory to God.

Our God works to transform us
Till life on earth is done;
He uses trials and testings
To make us like His Son. Sper
God can transform a tragedy into a triumph.

Hi everybody. Hi TS, sorry I missed your post last night. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. Ronald Reagan was an inspiration to us all. He was a man of convictions, integrity, and a great sense of humor.
May he rest in peace, and may God shine His perpetual light upon him and bless him with eternal life.
When I'm no longer enchanted by wonders of awakening spring,
Nor see the beauty of winter's falling snows,
Nor tingle with excitement at a vast, approaching storm,
Nor look with awe on tree or budding rose--
Then tuck me 'neath Thy sheltering wing, oh Lord,
And let me softly steal away
Beyond the realm of further silent grief,
And welcome me to that great, eternal day.
Then, I shall know such joy as I have never known.
My eyes shall see and ears shall hear the angels' sweet refrain.
And I shall walk with saints of ages gone
And be at rest and peace again.
From: "In Dread Anticipation" (In tribute to President Ronald Reagan)

A very good Sunday Morning Blessing this morning.
As we remember our President Reagan, let us thank our Father for giving him to us when the world was so desperately in need.

That's right. I'm also praying for GW. The country doesn't need Kerry, not now, not ever.
