I made this little metal piece a few years ago when I lived in Tampa. I was going through something at the time and needed the reminder that I was loved. It was true that day and it is true today.
We’ve heard it said that “hurt people, hurt people” and that is probably true. I got to thinking this morning that it is even more true that loved people, love people. When you walk in the security of knowing that you are loved by your heavenly father you then can walk in love with those around you.
This piece of metal was cut from a reclaimed silver plated sugar dish. It was on the bottom of the dish. The little grey line running through it was the solder holding the base on. A seemingly insignificant piece of metal that I found beautiful. I stamped the word loved on it and a few years later it still serves as a reminder to me that I am loved. Isn’t that a lot like what God did for each one of us? He “so loved” us (John 3:16) that He sent his son who found us and marked us with His love. We now live loved… and serve as a reminder to those around us. How beautiful is that?
My prayer for you today is that you live loved!
I call these new little cement creations “set in stone”. A little reclaimed piece of metal set in cement. They are little ice cube size reminders for you or someone you love.
This one and more are available in my etsy shop.
