Look Like Rebekah

This is me and my fellow nose ringer. We are just like Rebekah. For Rebekah, soon to be Isaac's wife had a ring put in her nose when his father's servant went to find her for him. Found in Genesis 24:47 "Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder, and went down to the spring and drew, and I said to her, 'Please let me drink.' "She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will water your camels also'; so I drank, and she watered the camels also.
Then I asked her, and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' And she said, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him'; and I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her wrists. "And I bowed low and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had guided me in the right way to take the daughter of my master's kinsman for his son."
This is the answer for the many times people ask me why I have a nose ring I like it better than earrings.

Your fellow nose ringer here: how awesome that you actually cited those scriptures we talked about at the costume party. I love it! Love the picture too!
