Photo Challenge Day 2

Today's photo Challenge was actually really easy for me. I guess that's why I am putting it up so early, rather then at 10pm. I have to admit the self portrait was rather hard for me. It's hard for me to take pictures of myself.....that's why I am the photographer....that is why I am normally behind the camera not in front of it.

Anyways today's challenge was a picture of something that means something to you. (by you I mean me)

So experimenting today with different things, I took this picture. It is a picture of a my Bible and My Wedding Rings.

The Bible is something that means so much to me. Often times we people that live in the great country of America take for granted how lucky we are to have Bibles....Most of the time you don't have to even buy a Bible, head over to your local church and ask them for a Bible chances are they will hand you a Bible free of cost, yet in other countries a Bible is a luxury.... People go to prison for having them. But more then the freedom to carry and owning a Bible, it means so much to me because it is God's Holy word speaking to me. Each day I get so excited when it comes time to sit and read my Bible...(Yes I am dork, I know) I am truly amazed at what this wonderful book holds in it. It is life breathing to me. I have to read it, I am drawn to it.....I've always loved how the pages in a Bible are different then other books, they make a nice crinkling sound when you flip through pages.... that is such a happy sound to me! And the way the pages are so fragile, you have to handle them with care....

The next item that I mentioned is my wedding ring. These 2 pieces of metal are so dear to me. They aren't metal with fancy diamonds to me. They are symbol of my husbands undying love for me. There is no beginning or no end to them. These rings are not the rings I was married with, they are replacements. About a year and half ago our house was robbed and my rings were sitting by the kitchen sink, due to dish washing, and they were stolen! It broke my heart to lose those rings. Those were the rings that my husband placed on my finger as he pledged his love to me forever more! But that doesn't mean because they were now gone my husband didn't love me anymore....In the end I was Blessed to have them replaced, not with the same set but something different, and they mean as much to me as the 1st set meant to me. When people look at my wedding rings they see sparkle, and shimmer, when I look at my wedding rings I see a symbol of my LOVE....I see a precious gift of Love from my husband. If the rings could talk they'd tell you a story of true love, of a deep passionate love, of a Love that is strong and can stand the test of times.
