God's Faithfulness

Pictured above is my (former) wedding band. Well, mine was white gold, but you get the point. Why do I say former? Well, let me explain...

Laurie and I had planned on spending the day on the river in a Canoe. It was a nice day, the sun was out, the weather was comfortable. Beautiful really. Laurie, thought it might be fun to try Kayaks instead. I agreed.

As it turns out, Kayaks are a lot more work than canoes. We both were very sore by the end of the day. I also tipped my Kayak multiple times. But that's not even the worst part.

When we were about 3/4 of the way done, I commented that my ring was chaffing my finger. Laurie told me to take it off and give it to her. As I took it off, I hit a rock and it went flying!

Laurie and I jumped out of our boats immediately and started searching for it. We went up and down the water, but to no avail. I loved that ring, it had an inscription on the inside that said, in love and Lord, I'm forever yours.

Those words are still true. And even after a bad day like that, I'm reminded that God continually seeks after us when we are lost, only he looks until he finds us, and he never gives up. I praise God for his patience, and that he seeks us until the end.
