Heart Jewelry

Heart Jewelry

"Love is not finding someone to live with; It’s finding someone you can’t live without"

"Wherever your heart is, that is where you'll find your treasure"

Love is an amazing thing. You can feel love, you can see love, you give love, you can receive love, its a feeling that never ends. When you love someone you want that person to know how much they're loved. How could you show someone your love everyday when you can't be around them? Simply just by giving them sterling silver heart jewelry.



Sterling silver heart jewelry is the best way to show someone your love through jewelry because, just like love, sterling silver lasts forever. So when you give the person you love a sterling silver heart charm, it will last as long as your love--that is the best gift.



Sterling silver heart charms are also great because they never go out of style, and they are durable. You can wear your sterling silver charms with any outfit, for any occasion and for every season. Love never goes out of style.

Footprints In The Sand

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed

he was walking along the beach with the LORD.



Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

For each scene he noticed two sets of

footprints in the sand: one belonging

to him, and the other to the LORD.



When the last scene of his life flashed before him,

he looked back at the footprints in the sand.



He noticed that many times along the path of

his life there was only one set of footprints.



He also noticed that it happened at the very

lowest and saddest times in his life.



This really bothered him and he

questioned the LORD about it:



"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow

you, you'd walk with me all the way.

But I have noticed that during the most

troublesome times in my life,

there is only one set of footprints.

I don't understand why when

I needed you most you would leave me."



The LORD replied:

"My son, my precious child,

I love you and I would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering,

when you see only one set of footprints,

it was then that I carried you.

Most retail cross necklace web sites sell one Footprints cross necklace. This web site carries two Footprints in the sand cross necklace.

 


The scope of religious cross necklaces is vast and  inspirational. Wear one to act as you constant visual reminder of the special faith you have.
