Face forward - even if not moving forward

The conversations during breaks and lunch at work get interesting sometimes. Michelle, a co-worker I've alluded to in a couple of posts, is madly in love with her boyfriend. The history of how the two of them met and finally began going out together is one I love to hear over and over. It's a great testimony to the power of God. Just say his name directly to her face and her eyes begin glazing over – you can almost see little hearts floating upward. She has mentioned that when he does propose, she won't be coming in to work the following day; she wouldn't get anything done.

During this afternoon's break we began talking about wedding rings. Now on the Valentine's weekend, Michelle's boyfriend took her into a jewellery store so they could look at some rings. She pointed out to him things she liked and didn't like. But it all came down to this:

“Y'know, I don't even really care what kind of ring he gives me. I would even accept a twist tie — but then he's gonna get a black eye!”
