For a few years, I have been wearing a ring on my right hand. It’s not always the   16   ring, but it’s always a ring that has  17  on it so that when I look at it, I’m   18   or reminded of something important. I have made a  19  of buying rings like this whenever I see one in a store. Sometimes I give them away as   20  to someone like Jennie.
I first met Jennie in the   21   waiting room and we had talked several times. One night I sat down beside her and   22   how her son was doing because I knew that he was in very  23    condition. She told me that she didn’t know what to do any more because it seemed none of the   24  from the doctors was good. They weren’t at all sure her son was going to   25   the accident that had hurt him so badly. With  26 in her eyes she said, “They’re   27  my hope.”
I knew then that it was 28  just a coincidence that I was wearing the ring that I had on that day. As she   29  to talk, I   30  slipped the ring off my finger and placed it in Jennie’s hand. I told her to wear it to remember that God loved her and He would be with her  31   all of this.   32  Jennie looked down at the ring, she got excited and then held it tightly,  33   the word written on the ring was “HOPE”.
The last day I was at the hospital, I saw Jennie in the distance as I got on the lift. She   34  and held up the hand with the ring on it as she called out to me saying, “Look, I   35   have Hope!”
