Get ready for a stimulating hour 3 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:17,120 S1: of confabulation about the keepsake you wear. What do you 4 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,280 S1: wear that reminds you of someone or something you love? 5 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,439 S1: It could be jewelry. It could be something in your hair, 6 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,040 S1: a watch, a tie, tack. Do men wear tie tacks anymore? 7 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,880 S1: Maybe it was something given to you by someone and 8 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,400 S1: you wear it to help you remember them. I know 9 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,640 S1: this is going to be an invigorating Friday conversation, because 10 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,200 S1: we had it in October of 2024. Were you around then? 11 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,760 S1: Did you hear this? Where are you going to today? 12 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,560 S1: On a command performance of Chris Fabry live.

That's right, friend, it's time for 17 00:01:02,990 --> 00:01:05,990 S1: the fabulous Fabric Friday sign. Here's what it does one. 18 00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:09,310 S1: We oxygenate your blood. Two, we get your endorphins going. 19 00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:13,830 S1: Three we raise your serotonin level. Four we promote lymphatic drainage. 20 00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:17,190 S1: And five we stimulate your parasympathetic system. That's why we 21 00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:21,230 S1: call it the five lung languages. It also stimulates your 22 00:01:21,230 --> 00:01:24,630 S1: vagus nerve. We help you release acetylcholine. And don't you 23 00:01:24,670 --> 00:01:28,190 S1: dare forget what it does to cortisol dissipation. Take in 24 00:01:28,190 --> 00:01:30,869 S1: four seconds of air through your nose right now. Hold 25 00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:33,589 S1: it for seconds, and then as you release that air 26 00:01:33,630 --> 00:01:35,750 S1: through your mouth, push on the left side of your 27 00:01:35,750 --> 00:01:38,029 S1: rib cage to get rid of all that bad carbon 28 00:01:38,030 --> 00:01:42,390 S1: dioxide today. Give a sigh for the keepsakes you wear some. 29 00:01:42,390 --> 00:01:44,950 S1: You never remove the wedding band, of course, as they 30 00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:48,230 S1: are all your days. Left hand, fourth finger. Perhaps you 31 00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:52,030 S1: wear a friendship ring or graduation ring. Maybe you wear 32 00:01:52,030 --> 00:01:54,710 S1: a pendant that doesn't go with every outfit, but you 33 00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:57,230 S1: just can't remove it because it means so much to you. 34 00:01:57,510 --> 00:02:00,620 S1: Maybe it's a necklace or bracelet, or a locket with 35 00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:03,460 S1: a picture of someone you love inside. Maybe it's a 36 00:02:03,460 --> 00:02:07,620 S1: fishing fly your dad tied that you wear in your hat. 37 00:02:07,940 --> 00:02:10,060 S1: It's a connection to the past and a connection to 38 00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:13,220 S1: someone you love. Give a sigh for memories preserved and 39 00:02:13,220 --> 00:02:16,180 S1: worn the fabulous fabric Friday Sighs.

Available in the 41 00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:23,380 S1: narthex of the theater of the mind store, bowling alley 42 00:02:23,380 --> 00:02:27,380 S1: and truck stop. We're going to pick up right where 43 00:02:27,380 --> 00:02:32,140 S1: I began in October of 2024. Disregard dated information and 44 00:02:32,139 --> 00:02:36,380 S1: any phone number that you hear. Here we go. So 45 00:02:36,580 --> 00:02:40,179 S1: I was in Chicago last week and it was on Wednesday. Ryan, 46 00:02:40,180 --> 00:02:44,980 S1: Tricia and I and if you ever wonder grammatically is 47 00:02:44,980 --> 00:02:47,860 S1: that I. Is that Ryan, Trish and I or Ryan? 48 00:02:47,860 --> 00:02:51,300 S1: Tricia and me take out Ryan and Tricia and just 49 00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:54,579 S1: say so last Wednesday and then put me or I 50 00:02:54,580 --> 00:02:58,200 S1: in there last Wednesday me was at lunch. No, is 51 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,400 S1: I right? So now that's free. And we'll give that 52 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,160 S1: to you. Free? Yeah. That'll help you with your English. 53 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,919 S1: So last Wednesday, Ryan, Tricia and I and me were 54 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:15,440 S1: at lunch, and I noticed on Trisha's left wrist two bracelets. 55 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,960 S1: One was thinner and looked kind of like yarn, and 56 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,320 S1: the other one had beads on it. And I realized, 57 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,280 S1: I realized when I looked at Tricia and I said, 58 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,120 S1: what's why do you wear those? And as soon as 59 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,720 S1: I said it, I thought, that's a program topic for us, 60 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,200 S1: especially on a Friday. And it kind of goes with 61 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,400 S1: our conversation yesterday about being curious, about asking questions, about listening, 62 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,120 S1: about finding out more about other people. So to tell 63 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,680 S1: the we're going to replay this, I asked Tricia, what 64 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:48,440 S1: are those? 65 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,680 S2: I have two bracelets. One is from the floss, one 66 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,830 S2: is from my daughter who is in sixth grade and 67 00:03:57,830 --> 00:04:02,190 S2: it is light blue, purple and kind of a tannish green. 68 00:04:02,230 --> 00:04:04,510 S2: I think the green, they're just braided. And she made 69 00:04:04,510 --> 00:04:07,070 S2: it to fit my wrist. And the other one is 70 00:04:07,310 --> 00:04:10,790 S2: some clear beads and then some blue beads in a 71 00:04:10,790 --> 00:04:15,350 S2: pattern made by a former fifth grade Sunday School student 72 00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:17,350 S2: that I had last year, who at the end of 73 00:04:17,350 --> 00:04:20,110 S2: the Sunday school year, she sent me a little note 74 00:04:20,110 --> 00:04:21,990 S2: that she had handwritten it, and it had a sticker 75 00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:24,589 S2: in there, and it had this bracelet that she had made. 76 00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:27,590 S2: And I told her mom that she had given it 77 00:04:27,589 --> 00:04:30,070 S2: to me, and she said, oh, she loves to make 78 00:04:30,070 --> 00:04:32,550 S2: those and hand those out. And so I got to 79 00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:34,470 S2: be the recipient of one of those. And so I 80 00:04:34,510 --> 00:04:38,070 S2: wear them both as a reminder of my last year 81 00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:42,469 S2: Sunday school kids, but also just a reminder of the 82 00:04:42,589 --> 00:04:44,750 S2: sweetness of these two girls in my life. 83 00:04:45,029 --> 00:04:47,310 S1: So I know why you wear your Annie's. You know, 84 00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:49,950 S1: there's no way you're not wearing Annie's, but this other girl. 85 00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:53,390 S1: What is it about her that really, uh, comes to 86 00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:55,620 S1: mind when you think about that bracelet. 87 00:04:55,660 --> 00:05:00,700 S2: She has just a sweet spirit and was always watching 88 00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:06,500 S2: me and paying attention. And she's also very shy. And 89 00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:09,820 S2: so when she would say something, I knew it had 90 00:05:09,860 --> 00:05:11,779 S2: taken a lot of effort for her. And so it's 91 00:05:11,779 --> 00:05:15,940 S2: just a special reminder of her. And those fifth graders 92 00:05:15,940 --> 00:05:19,220 S2: who are now sixth graders, um, and just the sweet 93 00:05:19,220 --> 00:05:20,420 S2: spirit that they both have. 94 00:05:20,980 --> 00:05:22,779 S1: So that's what I'm going to do to you today. 95 00:05:22,779 --> 00:05:25,060 S1: We're not having lunch together. You know, we're not sitting 96 00:05:25,060 --> 00:05:28,700 S1: down and and eating a sandwich together. But you're here 97 00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:31,460 S1: at the back fence and I'm looking over and I'm seeing, oh, 98 00:05:31,860 --> 00:05:36,060 S1: you're wearing a pendant today, or you're wearing, uh, a 99 00:05:36,260 --> 00:05:41,020 S1: clasp of some sort or a necklace or that brooch. 100 00:05:41,020 --> 00:05:43,860 S1: And I say, what is that? And why do you 101 00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:48,779 S1: wear that? That necklace, that pendant, that tie clasps that ring? 102 00:05:48,860 --> 00:05:52,500 S1: Several people answered on Facebook and they've said, we. I 103 00:05:52,620 --> 00:05:56,969 S1: melted down several rings and I made one piece of jewelry, 104 00:05:56,970 --> 00:06:00,370 S1: and I remember multiple people who were connected with that. 105 00:06:00,770 --> 00:06:03,210 S1: So what is that? What do you wear? And as 106 00:06:03,210 --> 00:06:06,210 S1: I put it on Facebook, what do you wear that 107 00:06:06,210 --> 00:06:09,970 S1: reminds you of someone or something you love? It could 108 00:06:09,970 --> 00:06:12,650 S1: be a place, you know, it was a really important place, 109 00:06:12,890 --> 00:06:16,050 S1: but even the place is like connected to some other person, 110 00:06:16,050 --> 00:06:19,690 S1: I think some great responses on Facebook, Vicki says, I 111 00:06:19,730 --> 00:06:25,690 S1: wear a leather cuff with Psalm 147, verse three, in 112 00:06:25,690 --> 00:06:28,930 S1: remembrance of my son who passed the first day of 113 00:06:28,970 --> 00:06:33,770 S1: Covid lockdown 2020. My sister in law had it made 114 00:06:33,770 --> 00:06:35,450 S1: for me and gave it to me as a gift. 115 00:06:35,450 --> 00:06:38,210 S1: I wear it every day. That's it. She wears it 116 00:06:38,210 --> 00:06:41,450 S1: every day and she remembers her son well. That means 117 00:06:41,450 --> 00:06:43,609 S1: that I got to go to. 147 hang on a second. 118 00:06:43,610 --> 00:06:47,330 S1: I get my get my Psalter out here. There's 149 119 00:06:47,890 --> 00:06:54,120 S1: 147 verse three, he heals the brokenhearted and binds up 120 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,160 S1: their wounds. You knew that already, didn't you? You knew 121 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,880 S1: that was what you would. The Lord builds up Jerusalem. 122 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,000 S1: He gathers the outcasts of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted 123 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,440 S1: and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of 124 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,600 S1: the stars he gives to all of them their names. 125 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,480 S1: I went through and in yellow, I put all of 126 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:18,840 S1: the the verbs in here about what God does, builds up, gathers, heals, 127 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:27,280 S1: binds up, determines, gives, lifts up, casts, covers, prepares, makes, gives, 128 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,000 S1: takes pleasure in those who fear him, strengthens. Blesses. Makes peace. 129 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,120 S1: Isn't that good? If you get nothing else out for 130 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,680 S1: the program, out of the program today. Psalm 147 is 131 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,640 S1: a good one. Vicky. Thank you. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm. 132 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,000 S1: I'm glad that you're able to share that, you know, 133 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,440 S1: the tears of your garden have watered ours today. Sarah 134 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,300 S1: says I wear a puzzle ring. I've never heard of 135 00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:55,580 S1: that before. A puzzle ring. So it's. I guess it's 136 00:07:55,580 --> 00:07:59,220 S1: a ring with, like, puzzle pieces on it. Is that. 137 00:07:59,220 --> 00:08:02,780 S1: Could that be it? But it's a puzzle ring for autism. 138 00:08:03,460 --> 00:08:05,820 S1: And when I look down at it, I think about 139 00:08:05,820 --> 00:08:09,620 S1: my cousin Michael, who has autism, and what a blessing 140 00:08:09,620 --> 00:08:13,460 S1: he is in my life and in our family's life. 141 00:08:13,940 --> 00:08:16,780 S1: Isn't that good? So I know this is going to 142 00:08:16,780 --> 00:08:19,540 S1: take us to some great places today. You know why? 143 00:08:19,580 --> 00:08:22,300 S1: Because I've heard this conversation before. It happened back in 144 00:08:22,300 --> 00:08:26,100 S1: October of 2024. So as you listen today, think of 145 00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:28,740 S1: your own answer to that question. What are you wearing 146 00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:32,060 S1: and who or what does it remind you of? And 147 00:08:32,059 --> 00:08:35,020 S1: stay with us for some great answers. This is Chris 148 00:08:35,059 --> 00:08:40,540 S1: Fabry live on Moody Radio. You can find us online. Chris. Chris. 149 00:08:51,730 --> 00:08:54,530 S1: What do you wear all the time and why do 150 00:08:54,530 --> 00:08:58,410 S1: you wear it? Elizabeth said, I wear my son's thumb print. 151 00:08:58,850 --> 00:09:01,650 S1: It's comforting. Oh, I want to hear more about that, Elizabeth. 152 00:09:01,650 --> 00:09:05,250 S1: Call me. Uh, Susan says I wear my mother's ring, 153 00:09:05,730 --> 00:09:08,250 S1: a sweater. That was a gift from my son, who's 154 00:09:08,290 --> 00:09:11,130 S1: away from the Lord. It reminds me to pray for him. 155 00:09:11,690 --> 00:09:14,970 S1: A bracelet I made in a Bible study group. Believing God. 156 00:09:15,010 --> 00:09:17,770 S1: Bible study with a small cross that reminds me to 157 00:09:17,809 --> 00:09:20,530 S1: trust God in every circumstance and be sensitive to what 158 00:09:20,530 --> 00:09:27,050 S1: the Holy Spirit is saying. And Jean says, Columbine flower 159 00:09:27,090 --> 00:09:30,730 S1: earrings remind me of my home state of Colorado. I 160 00:09:30,770 --> 00:09:34,370 S1: now live in Wisconsin and you may not know you 161 00:09:34,370 --> 00:09:37,570 S1: hear the word columbine, a flower. What is the state 162 00:09:37,570 --> 00:09:40,170 S1: flower of Wisconsin? It's got something to do with cheese, 163 00:09:40,970 --> 00:09:44,250 S1: doesn't it? Okay, so now to your calls. What do 164 00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:47,010 S1: you wear and what is it? Why and why do 165 00:09:47,010 --> 00:09:49,720 S1: you wear it? Scott is in Lockport, Illinois.

Um, and 312 00:17:48,980 --> 00:17:51,899 S9: when she passed, my father in law told my sister 313 00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:55,460 S9: in law and I that we could take a piece 314 00:17:55,460 --> 00:18:00,060 S9: of jewelry that would remind us of her. And she 315 00:18:00,060 --> 00:18:05,260 S9: had a pendant that had Sagittarius on it. And I said, 316 00:18:05,260 --> 00:18:07,660 S9: I'm going to keep this because this will remind me 317 00:18:07,660 --> 00:18:11,739 S9: that we're meant to be. Our family was meant to 318 00:18:11,740 --> 00:18:14,340 S9: be December 18th. 319 00:18:14,580 --> 00:18:18,540 S1: Wow. And and and how long ago was that?

But you still have a 325 00:18:32,420 --> 00:18:35,580 S1: little bit of her with you wherever you go, right? 326 00:18:35,810 --> 00:18:37,330 S9: Yes, yes.

It is engraved with a 338 00:19:12,650 --> 00:19:17,610 S1: childlike drawing of a stick figure mom holding a baby 339 00:19:17,650 --> 00:19:22,730 S1: next to a little house. It is inscribed mama forever. 340 00:19:23,450 --> 00:19:26,209 S1: Is there anything sweeter than I? I don't think so. 341 00:19:26,650 --> 00:19:31,570 S1: Joanie is in Montana, like the elk antler belt buckle. Hi, Joanie. 342 00:19:31,609 --> 00:19:32,370 S1: Go right ahead. 343 00:19:33,730 --> 00:19:38,200 S11: Hi. Thanks for taking my call. Um, many years ago, 344 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:45,000 S11: my son gave me a beautiful Yogo sapphire necklace in 345 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,360 S11: the shape of a heart. And, um, I wear it 346 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,320 S11: all the time. 347 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,880 S1: A heart shaped sapphire necklace. Now, I don't know my 348 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,560 S1: gemstones very well. What color is sapphire? 349 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,680 S11: Well, this one is the cornflower blue. Sapphire. 350 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:11,080 S1: Okay. It's not just blue. Cornflower blue. See that? So 351 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,320 S1: you're a writer. You got to be a writer if 352 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,600 S1: you can get that specific. That's really good. Cornflower blue 353 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,040 S1: sapphire necklace. And what is it about your son? Why 354 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,679 S1: did he give you that particular necklace, do you think? 355 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,760 S11: Um. That was the year I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, 356 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,240 S11: and we didn't think I was going to make it, 357 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,430 S11: but that was in 2004. 358 00:20:35,990 --> 00:20:36,350 S10: Wow. 359 00:20:36,950 --> 00:20:38,390 S11: So I'm 20 years out. 360 00:20:38,430 --> 00:20:39,070 S1: 20 years. 361 00:20:39,070 --> 00:20:39,510 S10: Ago. 362 00:20:39,869 --> 00:20:43,229 S1: 20 years. And and it just shows that, you know, 363 00:20:43,550 --> 00:20:46,150 S1: this is not against doctors, but doctors don't know everything. 364 00:20:46,190 --> 00:20:51,030 S1: Diagnoses can't can't tell what's ahead. You know that's. And 365 00:20:51,030 --> 00:20:52,990 S1: doctors would be the first to say that too. We've 366 00:20:53,030 --> 00:20:56,950 S1: been wrong about this. But just to to continue to 367 00:20:56,990 --> 00:21:00,950 S1: persevere and to live live life. So when you look 368 00:21:00,950 --> 00:21:04,629 S1: at that heart shaped sapphire necklace, what goes through your mind? 369 00:21:05,950 --> 00:21:09,229 S11: I'm just grateful that the Lord has allowed me to 370 00:21:09,270 --> 00:21:11,470 S11: watch my son grow up. He's now going to be 371 00:21:12,150 --> 00:21:14,430 S11: 44 years old on the 21st. 372 00:21:15,270 --> 00:21:15,909 S10: Look at that. 373 00:21:16,590 --> 00:21:19,790 S1: If that thing that you can wear, if that thing 374 00:21:19,790 --> 00:21:23,030 S1: you can wear and you wear it all the time, 375 00:21:23,430 --> 00:21:27,510 S1: can bring you to gratitude, can bring you to a 376 00:21:27,510 --> 00:21:32,850 S1: place of well and who knows, one day that heart 377 00:21:32,850 --> 00:21:36,890 S1: shaped sapphire necklace may be given to Joanie's son, and 378 00:21:36,890 --> 00:21:39,689 S1: he will pass it to somebody else and they'll remember 379 00:21:40,090 --> 00:21:45,570 S1: Joanie in a different way. Um, I like this topic, 380 00:21:45,609 --> 00:21:49,370 S1: and I like how it gets us to the deeper things. 381 00:21:49,730 --> 00:21:52,130 S1: You know, it's kind of. It looks like surface. It's 382 00:21:52,130 --> 00:21:55,609 S1: just a pendant. It's just a necklace. It's just a ring. 383 00:21:56,290 --> 00:22:01,050 S1: But nothing is ever just whatever it is. Chuck is 384 00:22:01,050 --> 00:22:03,570 S1: in Florida. What about what you wear? 385 00:22:05,369 --> 00:22:07,970 S12: I wear a little clay pot on a string around 386 00:22:07,970 --> 00:22:10,770 S12: my neck. And it comes from a Bible verse, second 387 00:22:10,770 --> 00:22:14,490 S12: Corinthians four seven. And Paul says that he keeps these 388 00:22:14,490 --> 00:22:18,570 S12: treasures in jars of clay, that the surpassing greatness is 389 00:22:18,570 --> 00:22:21,730 S12: not of ourselves, but of him. And it's just a reminder, 390 00:22:21,730 --> 00:22:23,730 S12: if there's anything good in me, it's because he put 391 00:22:23,730 --> 00:22:24,290 S12: it there. 392 00:22:24,810 --> 00:22:25,129 S13: Yeah. 393 00:22:26,010 --> 00:22:27,010 S10: Isn't that the truth? 394 00:22:27,090 --> 00:22:28,370 S12: That makes me feel better. 395 00:22:28,650 --> 00:22:29,290 S10: Yes. 396 00:22:29,570 --> 00:22:33,320 S1: Well, and again, that leads back to gratitude and thanksgiving. 397 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,160 S1: For what? For who he is and what he can 398 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,960 S1: do in and through you. Right. 399 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,040 S12: Absolutely. Yeah. I end up in a lot of leadership positions. Uh, 400 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,440 S12: secular and, uh, you know, sacred. But it's so easy 401 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,200 S12: to have people come and tell you, slap you on 402 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,520 S12: the back and tell you what a great job you're doing. And, 403 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,080 S12: you know, I need to remind myself that if there's 404 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,200 S12: anything good in me, it's because the Lord put it 405 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,280 S12: there and it's for his glory, not mine. 406 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:01,800 S10: Yes. 407 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,600 S1: And you can do life in your own strength, you know, 408 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,920 S1: with you, with what you can come up with and 409 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,479 S1: with what you can decide and your own intellect and, and, 410 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,120 S1: you know, that's there's no reason not to use your 411 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,440 S1: own intellect, but there's something about the surrender that you're 412 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,120 S1: talking about that says, I'm not my own. I was 413 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,040 S1: purchased by someone else, and I want to follow him. 414 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,359 S1: And that's what you think of when you see that, right? 415 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,270 S12: Sure. Well, you know, as a witness tool to people 416 00:23:31,270 --> 00:23:33,310 S12: see a cross hanging around my neck. They know what 417 00:23:33,310 --> 00:23:35,830 S12: that's all about, right? People say, what's with the what's 418 00:23:35,830 --> 00:23:40,270 S12: with the jar or what's it looks like, a little pouch. 419 00:23:40,270 --> 00:23:44,270 S12: Sometimes it's a terracotta sort of. And it kind of 420 00:23:44,310 --> 00:23:47,790 S12: brown and who knows what. Anyways, it's prompted a lot 421 00:23:47,790 --> 00:23:51,350 S12: of really good conversations. It's a non overt Christian symbol. 422 00:23:52,150 --> 00:23:55,070 S1: Well, there you go. Give me another idea for a program. 423 00:23:55,190 --> 00:23:58,989 S1: Tricia write this down. What was the catalyst for the 424 00:23:58,990 --> 00:24:04,350 S1: spiritual conversation that you had, this unexpected conversation that kind 425 00:24:04,350 --> 00:24:06,869 S1: of popped up when you talked about your faith or 426 00:24:07,109 --> 00:24:10,230 S1: about what Jesus did for you? For Chuck, it was 427 00:24:10,230 --> 00:24:14,550 S1: that clay pot. And I don't think that's a manipulative thing. 428 00:24:14,590 --> 00:24:16,470 S1: You know, ask me about this clay pot and I'll 429 00:24:16,470 --> 00:24:18,790 S1: give you the Romans Road and you have to come 430 00:24:18,790 --> 00:24:22,790 S1: to church with me. And no, this is just a 431 00:24:22,830 --> 00:24:26,750 S1: real entree to your heart, to what makes you tick, 432 00:24:26,790 --> 00:24:30,859 S1: what to what really excites you about your life. And 433 00:24:30,859 --> 00:24:34,940 S1: my guess is that when you have something like that, 434 00:24:35,380 --> 00:24:39,020 S1: it can lead to a conversation about the other person 435 00:24:39,420 --> 00:24:43,260 S1: whose curiosity was piqued by what you were wearing. So, Chuck, 436 00:24:43,260 --> 00:24:46,500 S1: thank you for that idea. I find this so interesting, 437 00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:50,180 S1: and we've done this program since 2008. But every time, 438 00:24:50,220 --> 00:24:52,980 S1: a lot of times it's on Friday. Every time we 439 00:24:52,980 --> 00:24:58,460 S1: have what seems like an innocuous conversation about today, what 440 00:24:58,460 --> 00:25:03,260 S1: you wear or the keepsake you visibly display every time 441 00:25:03,260 --> 00:25:06,940 S1: during the hour, we somehow get to the gospel that 442 00:25:06,940 --> 00:25:11,100 S1: God did for us in His Son, what we could 443 00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:17,660 S1: not do for ourselves. And that gift, that indescribable gift, 444 00:25:17,780 --> 00:25:21,980 S1: is for anyone who will call on his name. It 445 00:25:21,980 --> 00:25:24,380 S1: doesn't matter if we talk about the car you remember 446 00:25:24,380 --> 00:25:27,340 S1: from your childhood. I still remember the person who called 447 00:25:27,410 --> 00:25:31,210 S1: in about the station wagon and piling everybody in and 448 00:25:31,210 --> 00:25:35,090 S1: driving to the, uh, the church event or whatever was 449 00:25:35,090 --> 00:25:37,969 S1: happening in the neighborhood or the TV show theme that 450 00:25:37,970 --> 00:25:41,650 S1: got stuck in your head. Somehow, some way, we get 451 00:25:41,650 --> 00:25:45,770 S1: to what's most important. And when that surfaces, the alarms 452 00:25:45,770 --> 00:25:49,450 S1: go off in my soul. How about you? Okay. Go 453 00:25:49,490 --> 00:25:52,490 S1: take a break. This is Chris Fabry live on Moody Radio. 454 00:25:52,530 --> 00:26:08,130 S1: There is more coming up. Straight ahead. This is Chris 455 00:26:08,170 --> 00:26:10,530 S1: Fabry live on Moody Radio. It is great to have 456 00:26:10,530 --> 00:26:13,290 S1: you with us as we launch into a weekend. You know, 457 00:26:13,330 --> 00:26:16,370 S1: I try to find topics of conversations on Fridays that 458 00:26:16,369 --> 00:26:19,850 S1: are a little lighter, a little easier to digest than 459 00:26:19,890 --> 00:26:22,690 S1: some of the heavier things we deal with during the week. 460 00:26:23,130 --> 00:26:25,330 S1: And when I discovered we needed to air a best 461 00:26:25,330 --> 00:26:28,670 S1: of program today. I chose this one and we're going 462 00:26:28,710 --> 00:26:32,150 S1: to get right back to it. Don't worry. But do 463 00:26:32,150 --> 00:26:34,470 S1: you know how we are able to come to you 464 00:26:34,510 --> 00:26:37,629 S1: each day Monday through Friday? However you hear us live 465 00:26:37,630 --> 00:26:40,389 S1: on this station, delayed at another time of the day, 466 00:26:40,710 --> 00:26:44,310 S1: on the podcast, on YouTube. The many ways that we 467 00:26:44,310 --> 00:26:48,070 S1: get my voice to your ears. That's right. Friends call 468 00:26:48,070 --> 00:26:50,670 S1: or click through and they give a gift to make 469 00:26:50,670 --> 00:26:54,070 S1: that happen. And this month I've been telling you about 470 00:26:54,070 --> 00:26:57,389 S1: a brand new thank you that we're sending to anyone, 471 00:26:57,390 --> 00:27:00,310 S1: but there's only about a week left in this offer, 472 00:27:00,310 --> 00:27:02,109 S1: so we'll tell you about that right now, and then 473 00:27:02,109 --> 00:27:05,310 S1: we'll get back to the program next week. The parrots 474 00:27:05,310 --> 00:27:08,750 S1: are dropping by, or maybe they're flying by. I've been 475 00:27:08,750 --> 00:27:11,110 S1: telling you about Gary and the parrots. They're not a 476 00:27:11,109 --> 00:27:13,710 S1: 60s folk group, though. I would love to see Doctor 477 00:27:13,710 --> 00:27:17,709 S1: Gary Chapman in Bellbottoms holding a guitar. Now, Gary wrote 478 00:27:17,710 --> 00:27:22,070 S1: the love language that matters most with Doctor Les and 479 00:27:22,070 --> 00:27:25,859 S1: Doctor Leslie Parrot, and their mission is to take the 480 00:27:25,859 --> 00:27:28,420 S1: love language revolution to the next level. Now what does 481 00:27:28,420 --> 00:27:30,899 S1: that mean? Let me read to you from the very 482 00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:34,419 S1: beginning of that book. It's written from Doctor Chapman. Whenever 483 00:27:34,420 --> 00:27:37,300 S1: I'm speaking to a group or doing an interview about 484 00:27:37,300 --> 00:27:41,740 S1: the five love languages, someone almost invariably asks which of 485 00:27:41,740 --> 00:27:45,420 S1: the five is most important? It's a great question, and 486 00:27:45,420 --> 00:27:48,460 S1: my answer is always the same. The most important love 487 00:27:48,460 --> 00:27:51,619 S1: language is the one that matters most to the person 488 00:27:51,820 --> 00:27:54,940 S1: in front of you, your loved one. You see, love 489 00:27:54,940 --> 00:27:58,780 S1: isn't about what feels natural to us. It's about what 490 00:27:58,820 --> 00:28:02,500 S1: speaks directly to the heart of the other person. If 491 00:28:02,500 --> 00:28:05,300 S1: you read the five love languages, you know that we 492 00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:08,220 S1: all have a primary love language. And when someone learns 493 00:28:08,220 --> 00:28:12,460 S1: to express love in our language, it resonates deeply. It 494 00:28:12,460 --> 00:28:16,780 S1: fills our emotional tank. The challenge, of course, is learning 495 00:28:16,820 --> 00:28:21,700 S1: another's love language and speaking it with fluency. Too many 496 00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:26,290 S1: think that simply identifying another's love language means they'll automatically 497 00:28:26,290 --> 00:28:30,170 S1: start speaking it. Not so let me say it clearly. 498 00:28:30,170 --> 00:28:34,730 S1: Knowing your partner's love language doesn't mean you automatically speak 499 00:28:34,730 --> 00:28:38,770 S1: it with fluency. Far from it. Like any skill, a 500 00:28:38,770 --> 00:28:44,050 S1: foreign love language takes practice, intentionality, and mastery. Knowing your 501 00:28:44,050 --> 00:28:48,450 S1: partner's love language is only the first step. The real 502 00:28:48,450 --> 00:28:53,290 S1: transformation happens when you learn how to consistently express love 503 00:28:53,290 --> 00:28:57,850 S1: in their personalized vernacular. That's when you're speaking the love 504 00:28:57,850 --> 00:29:01,690 S1: language that matters most. I would love to send you 505 00:29:01,690 --> 00:29:04,370 S1: a copy of that book.

I asked Tricia this last 516 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,640 S1: week when we were in Chicago together. What are those bracelets? 517 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:55,440 S1: She told me. Now it's your turn. Patricia is in Indiana. Hi, Patricia. 518 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:56,880 S7: Hi. 519 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,360 S1: I'm glad you called. Tell me what you wear. 520 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,920 S14: I love your show. And I learned so much. I wear, um, 521 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,280 S14: my son bought me some frankincense and myrrh, and he 522 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,600 S14: bought me some Valentino for my birthday. And I wear 523 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,440 S14: it because I wish our family was together. I think 524 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,960 S14: about him all the time because he's just so caring 525 00:30:20,790 --> 00:30:24,670 S14: And I, um, my daddy bought me taboo and Sweet 526 00:30:24,710 --> 00:30:27,430 S14: amnesty when I was young, and I always wanted that 527 00:30:27,430 --> 00:30:29,790 S14: perfume to keep it on my dress and wear it, 528 00:30:30,070 --> 00:30:32,950 S14: but I haven't been able to find it. And then 529 00:30:32,950 --> 00:30:36,310 S14: I have a grandson named Timothy made a pillow, and 530 00:30:36,310 --> 00:30:39,630 S14: I put my Bible on top of it to keep 531 00:30:39,630 --> 00:30:43,470 S14: it close to me. Uh, I just miss him so much. 532 00:30:43,510 --> 00:30:43,910 S13: Oh. 533 00:30:44,310 --> 00:30:44,910 S14: Yeah. 534 00:30:45,110 --> 00:30:48,470 S1: So there is that longing there. And when you. When 535 00:30:48,470 --> 00:30:52,150 S1: you unscrew, I assume these are little, little vials or 536 00:30:52,150 --> 00:30:55,350 S1: bottles of that essential oil that you're talking about? 537 00:30:56,070 --> 00:30:56,710 S14: Yes. 538 00:30:56,990 --> 00:31:00,550 S1: Yeah. So when you unscrew that and you you smell 539 00:31:00,550 --> 00:31:04,750 S1: that aroma, there's something that goes on inside, isn't there? 540 00:31:05,710 --> 00:31:06,310 S14: Yeah. 541 00:31:07,110 --> 00:31:07,670 S13: Yeah. 542 00:31:08,030 --> 00:31:11,790 S14: When, when I, when I unscrew it like I unscrewed 543 00:31:11,790 --> 00:31:15,870 S14: it today.

And just thank you for him so much. 545 00:31:18,950 --> 00:31:23,130 S14: I just thank you for for having him in my life. 546 00:31:23,170 --> 00:31:27,810 S14: He loved God so much. I just wish, wish I 547 00:31:27,810 --> 00:31:28,570 S14: could see him. 548 00:31:28,690 --> 00:31:29,370 S13: Yes. 549 00:31:29,370 --> 00:31:32,490 S1: There's that gratitude again. Even though there's the longing and 550 00:31:32,490 --> 00:31:35,010 S1: the heart longing of, oh, I want to be near. 551 00:31:35,010 --> 00:31:37,570 S1: I want to be able to hug, you know, but 552 00:31:37,570 --> 00:31:39,970 S1: that aroma leads you to a place. Well, I can't 553 00:31:39,970 --> 00:31:42,850 S1: do that, God. But you've given me the opportunity to 554 00:31:42,890 --> 00:31:45,250 S1: have my son and maybe talk on the phone. ET cetera. 555 00:31:45,250 --> 00:31:48,930 S1: ET cetera. I really like that. And the frankincense and myrrh. 556 00:31:50,330 --> 00:31:53,090 S1: God bless you, Patricia. Thanks for calling. Martha says it's 557 00:31:53,090 --> 00:31:55,570 S1: funny you should ask. Just today, I wore a colorful 558 00:31:55,610 --> 00:31:58,810 S1: top my brother gave me. When I put it on 559 00:31:58,810 --> 00:32:01,410 S1: this morning, I thought of all the tops and sweaters 560 00:32:01,410 --> 00:32:04,770 S1: my brother has given me and how much I like them. 561 00:32:04,770 --> 00:32:07,250 S1: This top that I wore today was the last one 562 00:32:07,250 --> 00:32:13,170 S1: he gave me before he passed away last year. So 563 00:32:13,170 --> 00:32:16,450 S1: even there you get some of the longing, some of 564 00:32:16,450 --> 00:32:20,400 S1: the loss, some of what Patricia just said, you know, 565 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,800 S1: wish my son was close to closer to me, but 566 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,040 S1: I'm going to give thanks anyway.

Um, 576 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,000 S15: but it was six months before we got married, so 577 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,960 S15: it was on my birthday, which actually was also on 578 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,960 S15: December 18th. Um, I heard your other previous call, so 579 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,550 S15: that was really cool. So he gave this to me 580 00:33:18,550 --> 00:33:22,390 S15: and now it holds a a photo of us from 581 00:33:22,390 --> 00:33:23,190 S15: our honeymoon. 582 00:33:23,550 --> 00:33:28,430 S1: Ah. And so let's see, when did you get married again? 583 00:33:28,470 --> 00:33:29,270 S1: How long ago? 584 00:33:30,150 --> 00:33:33,150 S15: I got married June of 2023. 585 00:33:33,390 --> 00:33:37,670 S1: 2023?

How is, uh. Would you ever would 589 00:33:44,790 --> 00:33:47,910 S1: you ever suggest married life to those who aren't married? 590 00:33:48,830 --> 00:33:53,790 S15: Oh, definitely. It's been very sweet. We are actually, um, 591 00:33:53,830 --> 00:33:57,350 S15: still students in college. So it is it comes with 592 00:33:57,350 --> 00:34:00,710 S15: its unique challenges in that. But it has been, um, 593 00:34:00,710 --> 00:34:03,070 S15: so great. And the Lord has been gracious to us. 594 00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:04,910 S1: What are you studying? 595 00:34:06,390 --> 00:34:10,750 S15: Um, I'm a biblical and theological studies at Covenant College, 596 00:34:10,750 --> 00:34:14,150 S15: and my husband is in mechanical engineering. 597 00:34:15,110 --> 00:34:17,900 S1: So what do you think is going to happen when 598 00:34:17,940 --> 00:34:20,620 S1: when the diplomas come and you get out there in 599 00:34:20,620 --> 00:34:23,740 S1: the big bad world, which you are already? But when 600 00:34:23,739 --> 00:34:26,100 S1: all of that happens, what do you think is going 601 00:34:26,140 --> 00:34:28,739 S1: to happen down the road? What are your plans? 602 00:34:29,580 --> 00:34:32,779 S15: We, um, we have just a deep desire to start 603 00:34:32,780 --> 00:34:35,540 S15: a family. So that is that's our hope and our prayer. 604 00:34:36,219 --> 00:34:40,460 S1: Great. Start a family. And then whatever comes after that, 605 00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:44,380 S1: whatever work or ministry or whatever is down the road, 606 00:34:45,060 --> 00:34:47,940 S1: that's that's secondary to the family, right? 607 00:34:48,620 --> 00:34:50,340 S15: Yes, definitely. Yeah. 608 00:34:50,860 --> 00:34:53,100 S1: Cool. Well, it's great to talk with you. Thanks for 609 00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:56,939 S1: calling today. God bless you and your husband and your 610 00:34:56,940 --> 00:35:02,419 S1: future family. Um, Barbara is in Akron, Ohio. Barbara, tell 611 00:35:02,420 --> 00:35:03,420 S1: me what you wear. 612 00:35:05,060 --> 00:35:09,899 S16: Hi, Chris. Um, I had a very good friend. My 613 00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:15,250 S16: best friend, that I went with her to the Jewelry store. 614 00:35:16,210 --> 00:35:18,130 S16: Excuse me. I've got a frog in my throat. 615 00:35:18,890 --> 00:35:21,370 S1: I hate when that happens. Those old. 616 00:35:21,370 --> 00:35:26,850 S16: Frogs. Hello. I know, and I wonder if that statement 617 00:35:26,850 --> 00:35:35,450 S16: comes from, um. Comes from Egypt. Where? Right where the 618 00:35:35,450 --> 00:35:40,210 S16: frogs were jumping and plaguing Pharaoh. 619 00:35:41,210 --> 00:35:42,129 S1: I'm going to look it up. 620 00:35:42,170 --> 00:35:49,370 S16: But anyway, back to my friend. Um, she wanted. She 621 00:35:49,370 --> 00:35:53,250 S16: had never had a cross. And she loved Jesus so much. 622 00:35:53,969 --> 00:36:01,290 S16: So she bought a 20 inch gold necklace and then 623 00:36:01,290 --> 00:36:06,730 S16: bought the cross to go on it. That's made of 624 00:36:06,730 --> 00:36:12,810 S16: small diamonds. And it's. I don't I think it's got 625 00:36:12,870 --> 00:36:19,670 S16: 26 to 32 diamonds on it and it's adjustable. She 626 00:36:19,670 --> 00:36:22,509 S16: was a tall woman, but I was her power of 627 00:36:22,510 --> 00:36:26,070 S16: attorney for health care, so she willed that to me. 628 00:36:27,190 --> 00:36:27,550 S1: Ah. 629 00:36:28,310 --> 00:36:35,710 S16: And, um, after she passed away from cancer. Goodness, this 630 00:36:35,710 --> 00:36:42,030 S16: frog's going to stay there. I she willed it to me. 631 00:36:42,030 --> 00:36:45,630 S16: So since I used to take her to church, I 632 00:36:45,670 --> 00:36:47,750 S16: wear it when I go to church, so I'm taking 633 00:36:47,750 --> 00:36:51,350 S16: her with me. But she is already in the best 634 00:36:51,350 --> 00:36:53,390 S16: place because she's in heaven. 635 00:36:53,750 --> 00:36:57,510 S1: Ah, yes. We've heard some other people say the same thing, 636 00:36:57,550 --> 00:36:59,190 S1: you know, wore the shirt that I gave to my 637 00:36:59,190 --> 00:37:00,990 S1: dad and he gave it back to me, and he's 638 00:37:00,989 --> 00:37:03,750 S1: he's got the better end of the deal. So when you, 639 00:37:03,870 --> 00:37:07,910 S1: when you look at that necklace, what do you think 640 00:37:07,910 --> 00:37:11,510 S1: of what what what emotion stirs inside of you? 641 00:37:13,580 --> 00:37:19,859 S16: Um. I guess it would be thankfulness. She was a 642 00:37:19,860 --> 00:37:24,500 S16: really good friend, and she suffered so much with bipolar 643 00:37:24,500 --> 00:37:32,420 S16: disorder that from age 30. But she was controlled. So 644 00:37:32,980 --> 00:37:35,940 S16: she had told me, anytime I have a chance to 645 00:37:36,340 --> 00:37:42,259 S16: tell anybody about her and the bipolar disorder to make 646 00:37:42,300 --> 00:37:43,340 S16: sure I do. 647 00:37:43,900 --> 00:37:44,500 S1: Yes. 648 00:37:44,940 --> 00:37:50,299 S16: Because she she made with taking lithium. You have to 649 00:37:50,340 --> 00:37:54,900 S16: make sure that you have the, the right level. And 650 00:37:55,020 --> 00:37:59,460 S16: it's an old fashioned drug, but it's one that's very stable. 651 00:38:00,460 --> 00:38:05,140 S1: So I don't know if you told us her name. 652 00:38:05,180 --> 00:38:06,299 S1: Tell me her name. 653 00:38:07,420 --> 00:38:08,220 S16: Loretta. 654 00:38:08,420 --> 00:38:13,810 S1: Loretta. Okay. So isn't it neat that this topic got 655 00:38:13,810 --> 00:38:16,290 S1: us to talk about Loretta today and all that she 656 00:38:16,290 --> 00:38:21,010 S1: went through with her bipolar? Isn't that great? Yeah. Love that. 657 00:38:21,290 --> 00:38:23,609 S1: I love that some of the innocuous things, you know, 658 00:38:23,650 --> 00:38:26,450 S1: the little questions that you can ask will lead you 659 00:38:26,450 --> 00:38:28,529 S1: or somebody that, you know, will ask you what what 660 00:38:28,530 --> 00:38:30,930 S1: happened right there. Or somebody's going to call you up 661 00:38:30,930 --> 00:38:34,049 S1: and say, I heard you, Barbara, with that frog in 662 00:38:34,050 --> 00:38:35,649 S1: your throat on Moody Radio. 663 00:38:39,530 --> 00:38:41,609 S16: Well, that would be nice. Then I get to tell 664 00:38:41,610 --> 00:38:43,410 S16: them all about Jesus again. 665 00:38:43,650 --> 00:38:46,610 S1: There you go. And I looked it up. Now, this is. 666 00:38:46,650 --> 00:38:51,090 S1: You know, this is one person's opinion. Grammarist. Com but 667 00:38:51,090 --> 00:38:53,529 S1: they say that the idiom is traced back to the 668 00:38:53,530 --> 00:38:57,490 S1: 19th century, and it likely comes from the croaking sound 669 00:38:57,489 --> 00:39:00,210 S1: a person makes when they have a sore throat, reminiscent 670 00:39:00,210 --> 00:39:04,850 S1: of the noise of our little green friends, the frogs. 671 00:39:05,610 --> 00:39:08,410 S1: That doesn't go all back, way back to Pharaoh. But 672 00:39:08,450 --> 00:39:26,200 S1: you know who knows? More is straight ahead. What you 673 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,800 S1: wear is our topic today at the Radio Backyard Fence. 674 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,920 S1: Thanks a lot for listening to Chris Fabry live online. 675 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,320 S1: Chris Fabry lives.

Brian, 697 00:40:42,260 --> 00:40:43,340 S1: tell me what you wear. 698 00:40:44,300 --> 00:40:47,140 S17: I have a couple of stories that I wanted to share. 699 00:40:47,140 --> 00:40:51,380 S17: First off, before my wife and I got married, uh, 700 00:40:51,620 --> 00:40:58,259 S17: 11 years ago, tomorrow will be our anniversary. I approached 701 00:40:58,260 --> 00:41:01,299 S17: my mom and dad and told them that we were 702 00:41:01,300 --> 00:41:06,700 S17: going to get married, and I had absolutely no money 703 00:41:07,370 --> 00:41:12,210 S17: to buy a ring for my wife. An engagement ring? Nothing. 704 00:41:13,050 --> 00:41:18,009 S17: And within three days, the Lord answered that prayer. When 705 00:41:18,010 --> 00:41:22,090 S17: I approached my mom and she said, you can have 706 00:41:22,090 --> 00:41:28,090 S17: your aunt's wedding ring to give to her. It was 707 00:41:28,090 --> 00:41:36,650 S17: an amazing time. And after my mom passed ten years 708 00:41:36,650 --> 00:41:43,570 S17: ago now, shortly after our wedding, my dad invited I 709 00:41:44,010 --> 00:41:47,850 S17: and my wife over to go through my mom's jewelry 710 00:41:47,850 --> 00:41:52,850 S17: box and select items that we would like from her 711 00:41:53,730 --> 00:42:00,610 S17: jewelry box. And two of the items that we selected were. 712 00:42:01,690 --> 00:42:08,280 S17: My mom had a A wedding ring from her great 713 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:17,080 S17: grandmother that was broken. And my wife, Karen, took that 714 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:22,560 S17: wedding ring to the jeweler and actually had that diamond 715 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:29,640 S17: and the setting put in my wedding band. Mm. And 716 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:35,400 S17: then another piece of her jewelry, which was another ring. 717 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:41,279 S17: My wife took to that same jeweler, and they created 718 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:45,200 S17: a diamond necklace for her. So we have these things 719 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,760 S17: that we have cherished for many years. Yeah. 720 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,840 S1: And when you when you start talking about that, that 721 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:56,239 S1: ring and the inability to give her give your wife 722 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,920 S1: a ring and a happy anniversary, by the way, um, 723 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,879 S1: all of that floods back to you, doesn't it? When 724 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:06,070 S1: you look at the ring, you remember, you know, the longing, 725 00:43:06,110 --> 00:43:11,029 S1: the love, and as well as the the struggle. Right. 726 00:43:12,230 --> 00:43:16,910 S17: Absolutely. And God's provision in the midst of that struggle. 727 00:43:17,350 --> 00:43:17,950 S1: Gratitude. 728 00:43:17,950 --> 00:43:18,469 S17: Incredible. 729 00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,670 S1: There it is. There's the gratitude again, if you like 730 00:43:21,670 --> 00:43:23,989 S1: I say, if you can get to gratitude with anything 731 00:43:23,989 --> 00:43:26,710 S1: in your life you're doing, it's a good thing. It's 732 00:43:26,710 --> 00:43:29,230 S1: a really good thing. Brian. God bless you, friend. Thank 733 00:43:29,230 --> 00:43:33,910 S1: you for calling in today. Deborah is in Florida. Deborah. Uh, 734 00:43:34,469 --> 00:43:37,590 S1: that storm didn't did it affect you at all? 735 00:43:38,590 --> 00:43:42,390 S18: I, uh, went across the state. I live near the 736 00:43:42,390 --> 00:43:45,430 S18: West coast and the East coast, but my family lives 737 00:43:45,430 --> 00:43:48,469 S18: on the East coast, and I went across the state 738 00:43:49,030 --> 00:43:53,350 S18: and spent a wonderful time at my mom's assisted living facility. 739 00:43:53,390 --> 00:43:56,310 S18: It was it was wonderful. Everybody came together, and we 740 00:43:56,310 --> 00:43:58,710 S18: all just, like, weathered the storm together. 741 00:43:58,750 --> 00:44:02,150 S1: So that's a good I like that, you know, weathered 742 00:44:02,190 --> 00:44:04,900 S1: the storm. It makes an awful lot of sense. Okay, 743 00:44:04,940 --> 00:44:06,380 S1: so I'm running out of time. You got to tell 744 00:44:06,420 --> 00:44:07,220 S1: me what you wear. 745 00:44:08,020 --> 00:44:12,420 S18: All right, so I have a ring, and I had 746 00:44:12,420 --> 00:44:16,259 S18: to laugh when, um, the other caller, uh, had a 747 00:44:16,260 --> 00:44:21,020 S18: frog in her throat because I have my grandmother's ring 748 00:44:21,420 --> 00:44:24,379 S18: that I remember her wearing on her pinky finger of 749 00:44:24,380 --> 00:44:28,020 S18: her left hand all the time, and it looks like 750 00:44:28,060 --> 00:44:29,900 S18: a green tree frog. 751 00:44:33,260 --> 00:44:37,540 S1: The frogs. We got frogs everywhere. Just like Pharaoh, right? 752 00:44:38,020 --> 00:44:43,180 S18: Yes, exactly. Um, so I have lots of really good 753 00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:48,260 S18: memories of, um, sitting on her footstool at, um, right 754 00:44:48,260 --> 00:44:53,020 S18: in front of her chair and having long conversations with her, 755 00:44:53,900 --> 00:44:54,980 S18: and then she would. 756 00:44:55,260 --> 00:44:57,820 S1: Wait, wait, is it right? Pinky or left? Pinky. 757 00:44:58,340 --> 00:44:59,380 S18: Left pinky. 758 00:44:59,420 --> 00:45:02,200 S1: Left pinky. Okay, I got enough, I don't know. Okay. 759 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:03,160 S1: And what else were you going to. 760 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,719 S18: Say with the with the face facing right? Um, and 761 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,560 S18: then the other piece of jewelry that I have is a, um, 762 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:18,480 S18: glass heart, um, uh, surrounded in, um, a metal frame. 763 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,520 S18: I guess I'm not a jeweler, so, like, I don't 764 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,000 S18: know what the term for that is. Um, it was 765 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:29,600 S18: given to me by a student. I'm an elementary school teacher, and, um, 766 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:34,239 S18: he gave it to me after his church burned down 767 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:38,160 S18: and the congregation went through the rubble and picked up. 768 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:42,080 S18: And this this makes me tear up. They went through 769 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,879 S18: the rubble, picking up the pieces of their stained glass windows, 770 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,280 S18: and made it into jewelry and sold it to build 771 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:55,560 S18: the new church building. And then further from that, um, 772 00:45:55,880 --> 00:46:00,239 S18: he I didn't even feel like very close to him 773 00:46:00,350 --> 00:46:03,510 S18: or anything like that, but he got it from me. 774 00:46:03,550 --> 00:46:07,109 S18: He knew I loved pink. So it's a pink heart 775 00:46:07,310 --> 00:46:10,589 S18: and he purchased it. He and his family purchased it. 776 00:46:10,630 --> 00:46:12,870 S18: Purchased it for me and he gave it to me. 777 00:46:13,150 --> 00:46:16,230 S18: So I carry that close to my heart. 778 00:46:16,910 --> 00:46:20,910 S1: Ah, what a way to end the conversation today about 779 00:46:20,910 --> 00:46:24,110 S1: what you wear. I carry it close to my heart. 780 00:46:24,469 --> 00:46:28,030 S1: And my guess is you are identifying with that same thing. 781 00:46:28,030 --> 00:46:30,830 S1: You carry this thing that you want to remember this 782 00:46:30,830 --> 00:46:35,230 S1: person you want to remember close to your heart. I 783 00:46:35,230 --> 00:46:37,270 S1: think that's a great way to go into the weekend 784 00:46:37,270 --> 00:46:39,830 S1: and come on back next week for some more great 785 00:46:39,830 --> 00:46:43,470 S1: conversations here on Chris Fabry Live, which is a production 786 00:46:43,469 --> 00:46:47,989 S1: of Moody Radio, a ministry of Moody Bible Institute.
