Several years ago, I read a story in Today’s Christian Woman Magazine about a company called Share His Story. SHS creates scripture bracelets that compels people to ask about about their bracelets which allows the wearer to share their faith story. Share God’s Story by Sharing Your Story. Just a few months later, I was pleased to meet the owner, Jan at a Hearts at Home event where both Reminders of Faith and Share His Story were exhibiting. Our missions of creating items that would encourage and help people remember God’s faithfulness was similar and at other events we would enjoy sharing time together.
During that time, I asked Jan about creating a family bracelet around the Scripture from Joshua 24:15 when Joshua proclaims that …”as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” She designed the bracelet that you see above from this verse.
My bracelet (shown in the picture) is made of Austrian Swarovski Crystal with my husband’s & my birth months (March and August) , then our 3 daughter’s birth months (July, March & January), surrounding the cross is the month that we were married (September) and completing the bracelet is the cross placed in the middle.
I wear this bracelet almost evey day and have the opportunity to share my family story as well as my faith. As people ask me about this special piece of jewelry, I start by telling them it is the story of my family – explaining the representation of the birth months of our family. I then tell that we were married in September 26 years ago and it is the work of the cross that has kept us our marriage together and is the center of our life. I always end with the by sharing the verse … “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
Oh, the great conversations this piece of jewelry evokes with people as we talk about the gift of children, how hard marriage can be, the joys of knowing the Savior and sometimes the struggle of unbelief. I also enjoy wearing several other of Share His bracelets – Find Strength Through Him and The Fruit of the Spirit. This is the company that I am now the Director of Marketing and Affiliates (if you have a blog and would like to affiliate with SHS or are interested in this company in any way- please feel free to contact me). I am thankful that the Lord has opened the door to use my calling to encourage people to remember His faithfulness.
It is a blessing to share my family story with you through Share His Story and how the Lord is working through beautiful jewelry to share what He is doing in the lives of His people.
