Crosses

A reflection from Connie Cattell:

When I was a young girl, I noticed that my grandmother always wore a silver cross necklace. Actually, she had more than one cross necklace, and my mother eventually gave them to me. My favorite was a small gold one that I wear 95% of the time. My freshman year of college my psychology professor asked me if I wore it for fashion. I simply answered that I wore it because I was a Christian.

However, I also wear a cross because there are times that I need to “touch” my faith. I find myself reaching for it and holding it in times of anxiety and worry. It brings me comfort, calms me, and reminds me of my mother and grandmother’s strong faiths as I continue their legacy. My cross reminds me that Christ is always with me.
