Ring Around the Finger


(Photo by Peter Milosevic)
If you wait long enough, things come back around - even when mistakenly flushed down the sewer line.

This kind of a "Christmas miracle" occurred just recently for a New Jersey couple.  Michael Stanton had gifted his wife with a diamond ring on their 20th wedding anniversary.  While cleaning the toilet, she accidentally let it slip away.

Most couples would have figured it gone forever.  But God helps those who help themselves.  Michael Stanton went into high gear.  He reached out to the Somers Point Public Works Department, with hopes of retrieving this precious symbol of his marriage.

It took years, but “a crew working on a manhole near Stanton’s home spotted the ring.”  It was returned to the happy couple shortly before their 38th anniversary.
