A Promise Ring










Allyson hugs her dad!

October 10, 1989 was a wonderful day in our lives as we welcomed a brand new baby girl into our family around noon in a Chattanooga, TN hospital. Allyson was born that day and has brought us MUCH joy over the years.

October 10, 2005 was Allyson's sweet 16 birthday and she requested a very special gift - a promise ring. What is a promise ring? It is a beautiful ring that is worn on the ring finger of the left hand symbolizing the person's commitment to sexual purity that will be replaced by a wedding ring some day. Pretty cool, huh!

We are so proud of our Allyson. As parents we were thrilled to present her with this ring and as you can see in the picture she was thrilled to receive it!

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Ti 4:12NIV

WOW!!! What a testimony to your loving guidance in parenting and ESPECIALLY to your daughter's character.

I hope my daughters will make similar choices as they too become young ladies. Thanks for the great idea and the personal testimony.
