Lost is Found.

Six years ago, on Jan. 7, 2006, Keenan and I were pronounced Man and Wife.  One day after our wedding, Keenan lost his wedding ring.  It was a Sunday and we were driving in his car the moment he realized the precious metal was missing from his newly dedicated finger. Keenan pulled over and searched every garment he had on and the entire vehicle for the ring.  That night and days after, he searched our home, our car, and his mother's house.  He stripped the upholstery out of the car, checked the trunk, and took apart the seat belt contraption.  He even searched the area with a borrowed metal detector.  But it was lost.  One day after our wedding, my husband lost his wedding ring.

Six years later, to the very day that the ring was lost- Sunday- Keenan and I were at church.  As a community, our church has been declaring 2012 to be a year of Jubilee (based on Leviticus 25:8-22 and Luke 4:16-22).  Among the declarations, we prayed "what has been lost would be recovered." The very next day Keenan was at work when a co-worker approached and said, "a buddy of yours is outside and said he wants to talk to you."  Keenan walked out of the office to find his cousin, Adriel, waiting for him.  They shook hands and as Keenan took his hand away, a precious piece of metal fell into his grasp- his wedding ring.  A while back we sold Adriel the very car we were driving when Keenan lost his ring.  During the restoration process, Adriel pulled out the upholstery and found within it Keenan's wedding ring.

PRAISE GOD!

"What has been lost would be recovered."
