A while ago, I decided I wanted some kind of hobby. I don’t really have a lot of free time, but I wanted to do something creative and easy that I could spend a little time on or a lot. I remembered a friend of mine that I would see waiting in church tying knots in a cord. She was making rosaries. I looked into it and found directions and different colored cords on the internet – of course. It took a little practice, but I finally got the hang of it. I put cords in my bags and purses so I can work on them as I take my parents to doctor appointments and such. Today I took my mom to an appointment and started working on a new rosary. After a few minutes, a woman came and sat down near us. She asked what I was doing, so I showed her and explained. She said that when she was travelling, she found a set of rosary beads and was able to get them back to the woman who lost it. The woman was very grateful and said that the rosary had been in her family for many years. I told her how lucky the woman was that she found them and returned them to her. That was a nice story for her to share. I think this may be a new conversation starter.

I Found God today in a woman who shared her story of returning a lost rosary.
