She asked me to get a cola for her since
It was hard for her to maneuver her
Walker.
I was happy to help.
I noticed that the gal behind the cash register was
Wearing a cross necklace, a great conversation
Starter.
"Does your cross have a meaning?" I asked.
She spoke with an accent and didn't
Understand my question.
(I learned she was Polish.)
I tried again.
"Do you have a reason for wearing it?"
"Oh, Yes."
She smiled and explained that it
Represented the church she belonged to,
A different faith from mine.
No one was in line, so I showed her my
Bracelet.
She couldn't believe I would give it to
Her, and as I tied it on her wrist I
Explained the gospel with the beads.
Now the young woman has a matching set.
Her new bracelet explains the necessity for her
Cross.
