Emma Lyon is a recent recipient of compassion and grace that truly brought joy to her life. Emma had joined many of the members of her community in England to watch a spring regatta on the river Ouse. As she stood on the bank of the river, clapping and cheering on the rowing teams, the 100-year-old wedding ring that belonged to her grandmother fell off her finger and dropped into the river. Emma was devastated. She thought the ring was lost forever…

Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for edifying, as fits the occasion, that it may impart grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, with all malice, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
