When I saw the bracelet on Laura, I thought it was so beautiful. I asked her if she had made it, and she told me the story.  I felt that God had arranged for us to have that conversation that day.   My dad has terminal cancer,  my mom is in the late stages of Alzheimers, and my brother has colon cancer.  I felt like she  made the bracelet especially for me.  I wear it every day.  It's a constant reminder that God is always with me, and He will always pull me through.
 


Not only is the designer at Encouragement Inc. offering elegant and fun to wear jewelry, but also a physical reminder of hope.  My daughter who was at her wit's end one day was sitting on her bed feeling extremely discouraged about her circumstances.  I had hit a wall at that moment in what I could offer to help her to feel better.  As she sat and pondered for a few minutes she looked at me and said "Mom, when you are at the end of your rope...God always has more rope". I was thrilled that her heart had reflected back to the message behind a bracelet that I had from designer/encourager Laura Mathison.
 

My bracelet encourages me  in two important ways. First, the  silver beads are circled by a double rope just as I am surrounded by God's unconditional and enduring love.  I touch the green crystal most often because it symbolizes new life. Second, my bracelet was a gift of love and encouragement from my dear sister. This jewelry has a message for me and everyone who comments on it.
