I just purchased a Lokai Bracelet for a gift. Designed by Steven Izen, the bracelet is infused with elements from the highest and lowest points on earth. A white ball carries water from Mt. Everest, and a black ball holds mud from the Dead Sea. A string of clear beads links the two signifying the path that is ones own.
To me the thread that binds them together represents God. Through all the highs and lows and every
day ordinariness, God is within us. I am going to suggest that the receiver of the gift use the bracelet
as prayer beads: Each day focus briefly on the low point and using each bead, pray about what is on your heart, then find something about the day that was a high point and pray about several things for which you are thankful.
A daily conversation with God lends balance and peace to our lives.
