Jewelry and God's Amazing Grace

Matthew 13:44-46

“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field.  “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for choice pearls.  When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!"
Luke 15:24
"for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.' So the party began."
15:32
"We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!'”

Sweet Lord, now I know without a doubt You are trying to teach me something profound and wonderful.  this past year, I lost my wedding ring for five months and looked everywhere for it to no avail.  Lord, it was just a piece of metal, but it resembled the covenant my husband and I had made at the altar.  I still had him, so I was fine.
Months later, You had him go to a place in the yard by our house to show him You had one of Your ministering angels place my ring there.  I know that because there was no other reason for it to be where he found it and in the condition it was in.

Yesterday,I wore the pearl necklace that our son Jeff had placed in a setting for me while they lived in HI.  Elissa was very young, but had picked out the pearl, so it had sentimental value, but I doubt that it has great value otherwise.
About mid morning, I realized that the pearl and the setting was gone from the chain on my neck.  I thought it may have fallen off here at home while I was finishing dressing.  If not, I had no idea where it would have been because I had done errands before coming to work.  I was very sad.  Later that morning, I told a co-worker who had asked about why my countenance was downcast.  She lit up and said that she had seen something earlier.  She went to the sink in our office and on the floor was the setting, and the pearl was by the wastebasket!  Thank You, Lord!  I should have remembered about how You gave me back the ring, but sadly, I didn't until the pearl was found.

Both things were lost but now were found.  However; like my wedding ring, after close inspection, there was no breech in the gold loop that held the setting.  I put the setting through the chain, brought the loop's closure and the chain to the same place and pulled as hard as I dared to try to get the chain through the loop, but could not.  Only You know how that pearl came off the chain, Lord, so I started asking myself why.

You started bringing these scriptures to mind.  The human soul is far more precious than anything else on earth.  You went to great lengths, giving Your Holy life blood to have me found!  Your grace is amazing!  How much more now must I share You with others so they may be "found" as well.  When a soul comes to Christ, there is a celebration in Heaven.
