Remember: Ring of the Day
Truck Driver Dad Ring Story: Every mile came home.
My dad knew more sunrises from the highway than from the front porch.
He carried long roads, missed dinners, and driving through the night to provide. Most people only saw the outside of it, but the people closest to him saw what it cost.
Then I asked, "How do I keep him close when the road always took him away?"
That is when I realized every mile away from us was also a mile for us. He missed ordinary nights so we could have ordinary security.
What we wanted to say was simple: thank you for making every mile point back home.
That is when the ring finally made sense. Not as jewelry first, but as a place to keep the story. The design uses highway lines, semi headlights, sunrise, map route, and home porch light. The engraving carries the whole message: Every mile came home.
He read the line and looked away for a second before smiling. Sometimes love is measured by the distance someone is willing to travel for home.
Symbols: highway lines, semi headlights, sunrise, map route, and home porch light.
Engraving line: Every mile came home.

Bible Study
Today: Proverbs 23, ESV
Proverbs 23 is full of appetite language: food, wealth, desire, envy, discipline, family honor, and alcohol. In modern language, it says the wise person learns restraint because not every invitation, luxury, or pleasure is safe simply because it is available. The chapter warns against exhausting yourself to get rich, envying sinners, withholding discipline from children, and giving the heart to destructive desires. It ends with a vivid picture of alcohol's power to blur judgment, multiply wounds, and make a person return to what harmed them.
Read the full chapter in the ESV translation, then use these questions for a short table or porch conversation.
Context for the book
Proverbs gathers wisdom instruction for people learning to fear the Lord in everyday life. It trains readers to recognize the difference between wisdom and folly in speech, discipline, money, work, family, friendship, and desire. Today's reading focuses on restraint at the table, resisting envy and wealth-chasing, disciplined parenting, honoring parents, guarding the heart, and warnings about alcohol.
Context from the previous chapter
Proverbs 22 called the reader to listen to wise sayings, value a good name, train children, and avoid exploitation or reckless commitments. Proverbs 23 continues those sayings with special attention to appetite, restraint, parental instruction, and the dangers of envy and intoxication.
1. What does it say?
- The chapter warns the reader to show restraint before rulers, deceptive food, wealth, envy of sinners, and people whose hospitality is not sincere.
- It urges parents to discipline children, children to honor and gladden parents, and the reader to give the heart to wisdom's ways.
- It gives a strong warning about lingering over wine, describing confusion, wounds, distorted perception, and repeated return to danger.
2. What does it mean?
- Appetites are not trustworthy masters; food, wealth, praise, pleasure, and drink can all become traps when desire outruns wisdom.
- The heart must be deliberately given to wisdom because it will otherwise drift toward whatever seems most immediately satisfying.
- Parental instruction and discipline are framed as love that aims at future life, not control for its own sake.
3. How does it apply to my life today?
- Before accepting an opportunity, ask what appetite it is appealing to and whether the person offering it has clean motives.
- If wealth-chasing has been consuming your attention, remember that riches can grow wings while character remains accountable.
- Treat alcohol or any numbing habit honestly if it keeps producing confusion, wounds, relational distance, or repeated regret.
4. What habit, thought, desire, or practice should change?
- Practice restraint at one appetite point today: food, spending, scrolling, praise, alcohol, anger, or the need to be included.
- Honor a parent or mentor with gratitude, attention, or obedience to wise counsel where appropriate and healthy.
- Give your heart to wisdom in one deliberate sentence of prayer before entering a tempting environment.
