Prayers needed

If you have any extras, I could certianly use them today and in the weeks to come.



A friend of my daughters house burned this past Friday evening. It is a total loss. Thankfully, no one was home and the family pet was at her sister's house. I hate to hear of fires any time of year but it's so close to Christmas. The band booster association which I am a part of, have so many different fundraisers going at the moments. A school in our district last night which neither of the kids go to, put out donation buckets and they raised $525.00. Truly a blessing. Just keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they have to go through this ordeal of dealing with the insurance company and getting through Christmas.



For me - I will searching the backyard of that same home for her wedding rings. They were on the kitchen counter and alot of that got thrown out into the back yard. I am praying that I find them. I want her to be able to open that package on Christmas morning.


Prayers definitely headed your way, including special wedding ring prayers!

Oh that is sad Cindy. Do hope you find those rings - what a lovely thought to look for them Do you know anyone with a metal detector? That would help to locate them in rubble. . In message , Cindy Schmidt writes

Cindy --

I am so sorry for your friends' loss. While there is no good time for such a loss, it does seem especially devastating at Christmas time. I wish you good luck in finding the wedding rings.

Love in Stitches,

A house fire at any time is a tragedy, but at Christmas it seems so much sadder. Thank heavens no one was hurt! You're an angel to help this way

-- good luck finding the rings.

Hugs, prayers, and positive thoughts on their way for your daughter's friend.... and positive vibes that you'll find the rings.

Know anyone with a metal detector? That would make the search easier. Debra in VA See my quilts at

Cindy-

Sending good thoughts and prayers to the family. What a terrible thing to have happen any time of the year but winter and Christmas seems the worst possible timing.

My former hubby once lost his wedding ring in our barn- with the hay and straw about a foot deep on the floor and horses, cattle, goats and chickens and geese tromping thru there. He went to the senior citizen's center and found an ol' boy who had a metal detector. The nice gentleman was very pleased to get the chance to metal detect in our 100 yr. old barn. He found the ring and a lot of metal junk and some really cool old handmade nails and other small goodies which we were glad to give to him. He was happy to have something to do and the small metal treasures and we were very happy to have the ring back. Just a thought about her wedding rings.

Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way...hope you find those rings! I have a metal detector, but it won't do you any good unless you are within driving distance of me. Wish ya were! Do you have a magnet that is on a pole? Just a thought. I have one of those and had to rescue my DH shaver head screen a ma bob down the drain. I bought it cheap at the local hardware store.

Assuming the rings are gold, the magnet wouldn't be much help. Magnets are only attracted to things with a pretty high iron content.

Did the metal detector thing today and it was awful. All it did was beep. It was picking up the nails in the floor. So it didn't help us at all. We didn't have any luck finding it. Going to try again tomorrow.

We are actually hoping they can provide us with a picture and a friend of a friend could possibly re-make them for us for a slight cost. With this all being a huge secret though (VBG)

Prayers on their way, and fingers and toes crossed that you find those rings !

As much as I like my rings (which I've worn for over 40 years) and would hate to lose them, I don't think I'd want a duplicate set if I lost them, unless perhaps they were a gift from DH. Even then, I'd probably opt for a different style, perhaps just a simple gold band. But then, I would not have minded not having an engagement ring before we were married -- just a wedding band after the wedding. Of course, your DD may feel differently and you are in a better position than I to know that.
