The other day a friend was chatting about how her girl friend had had all her jewelry taken in a home invasion.\u00a0 None of it was of great value, except to her, and she was so upset since it wouldn’t add up to much for them anyhow.\u00a0 She had expressed how each piece had memories for her, and there in was her sorrow.<\/p>\n

My jewelry box is full, but all items hold little ‘cash value’.\u00a0 I really like hand made or wooden pieces.\u00a0 Colorful stones or beads win over diamonds or jewels every time for me.<\/p>\n

I was able to understand her feelings as I have stories attached to each piece.\u00a0 When I put on the earrings Grandma Smith used to wear I remember her.\u00a0 The pieces my husband picked out carry fuzzy feelings with them as I wear them..\u00a0 The necklace in the above photo is worthy of a photograph BECAUSE my sister made it for me.<\/p>\n

The end of the tale told was advice to HIDE even your cheep jewelry and I decided that just didn’t connect with me.\u00a0 As much as I enjoy my accessories they aren’t something I need to fear and fret for… <\/p>\n

While you can’t replace even the cheapest of jewelry, if it holds memories, you can have and make more memories with the people that have left their mark on your earrings or necklaces.\u00a0 More cheep jewelry can be given and receive by the people you love, reflecting the new memories made.\u00a0 The only thing of real value in this world, that absolutely can not be replaced in any acceptable way is YOUR PEOPLE.<\/p>\n

I am thankful for the lingering effect that my Grandmother has had on me, the continuing growth my husband builds onto my soul and the eternal change Christ’s love has given my spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
