The Ring





Sometimes in life the things you make with your own hand and mind are worth more than anything else you may have. They are original, one of a kind, irreplaceable and special in time.

Cherish these creations whatever they are. And remember that if you receive a one-of-a-kind gift by a dear friend or loved one you should treat it with respect as if it were your own creation. To have a creation that is numbered One of One should never perish but remembered always by its’ creator.

When I was in high school, I made two such items. One was a ring of silver and turquoise. It was oval with an inner oval inlay and a crucifix in the center.  The other was a pencil drawing of Led Zeppelin’s inside cover of their Stairway to Heaven album.

The ring was stolen from me several years later. But the design and its’ image I will always remember and maybe someday I will be able to recreate it. However, 45 years later, I still have the Stairway to Heaven drawing framed and, in my house, & it has a few of its own traveling stories to tell.

Do you have something made by your hand? Put it in a special place and thank the Lord for any and all your gifts, talents, blessings and good fortune. They are meant to be shared with others in the glory of the Creator.

May you have peace and understanding all thru your days.
