Best wedding rings


You have people ask you to bless in his new wedding ring. New ordained, had just started Manly Mateo. It was still the era of religious marriages and Matthew was a favorite place. Often return to "our church family" as the northern beaches people like to think of San Mateo. They would say years, when the President asked a mile to put coins along the way to raise funds for construction.

They have their penny on the sidewalk and it was his building. The people were able to maintain the sensitivity of the occasion. How can you convert the blessing of the new wedding rings other than a joke? "Superstition", shouted in horror. "How cans a minister of the Gospel may be included in this superstition? Puritans were right, if that's what the people of wedding rings that we think completely disappear."

Anyway, why should they bless their rings back? The original marriage was not good enough? Do you think God's blessing for marriage is somehow fade and need an extra? "The people stressed that most people buy replacement wedding rings for many reasons, such as loss and damage or simply because they put on weight. And when they buy new do not feel good about it because are not original. They back to the church and ask the new ring was blessed around. "Well, what do you do," I asked surprised opportunity. "Almost always ask for the door to leave the church when I ask you to wait behind a minute, until everything is gone, so we can pray together.

Then I have to gently remove the building where we sat and talked. I offer something better to pray for his ring; I offer to pray for your marriage. So we're talking about their lives together, their children, and the blessing of God for the past few years. Then I went to the prayers of all the wonders of life with gratitude for the past and future requirements. "The following Sunday, when I got the hand on the door of the visitors to make me almost shy, lowered his voice and asked if he would bless his new wedding ring.

The opportunity was too good. Pickup man sat in shame, to talk about his marriage and family. We talked and laughed and cried when she gave God thank you for the year and pray together for the future. Strangely and unfortunately, as I remember it was the only time someone has asked me to bless her new wedding ring!
