BOUND UP IN CHAINS

submitted by: Joanna

It may seem like an old time thing, but when my boyfriend and I were dating I went on a 3 month trip to Chile, South America. There were 8,000 miles between us.

Before I left I made him the typical chain made out of construction paper which marked the days till I came home.  While I was gone he took off a chain link every day, but instead of throwing the links away he wrote a message back to me.  He either told me about how he missed me, or how he was praying for me, or how much he looked forward to spending the rest of our lives together.

When I returned from my trip he gave me the pieces of paper that the link was made of and I got to read all of the messages he had written while I was gone.  It was great to know that he was thinking of me every single day.
