Jewelry Box



I can not express the awe I feel at such a gift. I went to a "White Elephant Gift Exchange" today with a group of women I am growing to love. We did not know who would get the gift we brought and would not know whose gift we would receive.

As some of you have previously read, I have just come across a beautiful butterfly necklace (see older post) which has great significance to me. I had been taking it off and hanging it on a tack by the head of my bed each night- for lack of a better place to put it.

Not only will this little box guard my special necklace but it will also remind me of how God knows even the most smallest hint of a desire that we hold close within. Purple holds the meaning of "royalty" and the number five (there are five glass "butterflies" on the lid) holds the meaning of grace symbolically speaking. I could not have asked for such a timely gift or have given such precious detail to describe such a treasure.

I will hold this treasure close just as God holds all of me close.
