To the Jeweler

First, when you're reading this I will be on my way to the Mommies with Hope retreat.  Please be praying for all of us ladies, for safe travel and open hearts to what God wants us to learn from the weekend.  Second, my BFF is always writing 'open letters' on her blog (which normally crack me up) and I wanted to follow suit (without revealing the name of the place)!

Dear Local Jeweler,

I came into your shop today so see about simply switching a charm and dangling stones from one pendant on my necklace to another.  You took each piece in the back and were gone for about 5 minutes working on my special piece of jewelry.  When you returned it was just the way I'd hoped!  When I asked if I owed anything you thought about it for quite a bit and then responded with a "No."  I am very thankful to you for your work.  I did not purchase my necklace from your store but had it made just for me.  You see, it is very special to me.  Not only does it say 'forever in my heart' but it also says the names of my babies in heaven.  I treasure this piece of jewelry.  You did not know that.  But your 'gift' of service to me meant the world to me, a mother simply wanting to 'hold on to' her babies in some way.  Thank you and may you be rewarded for your kindness.

A Happy, Fulfilled Customer

I have to say that trying to blog every day this month has had its challenges.  Some days I've felt like, "Now what do I say?"  Sometimes I have to go back to read my blog to make sure I haven't posted something before I begin to type!  I'm hoping I'll continue the trend of blogging here regularly but am not sure if it will be daily.  Well, I guess I have until Sunday to keep up with the daily business ;)  Have a great weekend!
