A wonderful woman that I know and love shared this most recent story of faith in the everyday life that she wanted me to pass along.
A long time ago, maybe decades ,a woman owned a cross on a chain. It was beautiful and elaborate with a black stone in the center. Intricate designs on the cross made it something she was proud to wear. She always thought that "bearing her cross" showed her faith to the world with simplicity yet strength.
Over the years and many moves later the cross that she, at one time held dear, had become lost. She searched but could not find it. ( I think her oldest daughter has it, just a hunch)
One day while thinking about this cross she prayed. She prayed to God that she was sorry she could no longer "bear her cross" and could no longer show the world her faith in this understated way. She prayed that she could find another one that would catch her eye and touch her soul the way the old one did.
She searched in shops, on the internet,in magazines anywhere that she thought would have something that would capture her soul like the original.
After a week of searching and continued prayer she received in the mail a Golden Cross. She was so excited that God had answered her prayers when she opened the mail. As she continued opening her mail she discovered a Silver Cross had also arrived that day in the mail.
She had asked God for one to replace the one she lost and had received two!
God saw her love was genuine and blessed her twofold. May God bless you who read this twofold.
Be double Blessed
