Wherever We Land

As I sit here, gently turning my wedding ring around my finger, I can’t help but marvel at the journey it represents. For nineteen years, through the highs and lows of marriage, the joys and challenges of raising three beautiful children, this simple band of silver has been a steadfast symbol of love, commitment, and enduring faith.

In a world where material possessions often come and go, my wedding ring stands apart as my dearest personal belonging. It’s not just about its monetary value or its aesthetic beauty, although those are undeniable. Rather, it’s the intangible significance it holds – the memories, the promises, the shared dreams woven into its very essence.

When I look at my wedding ring, I see more than just a piece of jewelry; I see the foundation upon which my family is built. I see the late-night conversations, the laughter shared over dinner, the tears shed in times of sorrow, and the hugs exchanged in moments of pure joy. Every scratch, every imperfection, tells a story of resilience, of overcoming obstacles together, hand in hand.

But perhaps what makes my wedding ring truly precious is the unwavering faith it represents. Through the years, as we navigated life’s uncertainties, we held tight to each other and to our faith in something greater than ourselves. With God as our anchor, we weathered storms and basked in sunshine, knowing that as long as we had each other, we could face anything that came our way.

As I reflect on the past nineteen years, I am filled with gratitude for the love that has sustained us, the family we have built, and the faith that has guided us every step of the way. And as I gaze at my wedding ring, I am reminded that no matter where life takes us, as long as we hold tight to each other and to God, we will always find our way back home wherever we land – to love, to family, and to the enduring promise encapsulated in a simple band of silver.
