MY RUGGED CROSS!

I was upstairs cleaning out some things in the closet, and looking for some pictures I had painted for Kelly. One was a batik of Noah's Ark, and the other was of some children playing. I was having some much fun remembering all the things my children did when they were little, when I noticed a small little jeweled cross..... You know the kind that they have been advertising on TV that have the Lord's Prayer in the center of the stones! When I was about seven years old, my Grandmother decided that I needed something like that to remind me of the Lord all the time, so she ordered one for me off of the first television commercial for them! Mama and Daddy were so upset with her, because she wrote to the company and spent the small amount of money that she had, for her "dear Becky" to have that "gaudy" neclace! Oh, how precious it was to me! Bright; huge turquoise stones too, but I wore it with pride, none the less! When I saw it today, the stones had all fallen out , but you know what was still in tact?
The Lord's Prayer!
It was a little watered down and wavy, but it was still legible and in tact! God's word still stands and never changes....
Even in a weathered cross!
Becky
