Another piece of jewelry?

I've never been one to wear much jewelry. I always felt it's presence as a weight on my life and it's life was easily tarnished and perishable or easily broke or lost. However, my wife bought me a crucifix attached to a necklace Christmas  2013 and I've worn it almost daily since its purchase. I find comfort in its meaning. The weight of it is a reminder of the price that was paid on my behalf, and it's symbolism a constant assurance of the love for which it represents. The cruelty & brutality of the the cross transcends time to today and reminds me no matter where I am in my walk in this life, I was shown mercy and compassion through Christ's sacrifice on that day when He was placed upon the tree of life and paid the ultimate price, yet did it on my behalf that I would be shown the depth of His love.

So, I wear this jewelry as a reminder I am loved by my Savior and my wife beyond the bonds of this short life.
