I'm up very late waiting on my Christmas fruit cake to finish cooking

the topic of scapulars then the miraculous medal came to mind .
I had lost a very very dear piece of jewlery this summer while about mid into true devotion .
I have had this one necklace since before I was received into the church .I think I purchased it about 12 yrs ago .
I just bought myself a small silver chain and very small silver cross . I do not like gold for myself

I then after I was recieved bought myself a beautiful little miraculous medal . It was a childs actually . I added it on . Then this past yr when I was drawn to OLMC ( come to think of it , it is exactly a yr this fall ) I received a medal from Garabandal which I am very connected to now ( although it is not approved yet so am prudent ) so I added that medal .
Well it slipped off my neck while out at the lake . I could not find it anywhere , never mind where would I look in acres of lakeshore forest etc. I prayed to St.Anthony but usually when I have lost something it has meant to be and is not returned .
I think I was being asked to focus on Our Lady with me not through my jwelery that represented her . I've had to because I am sure it will not show up . I have to say I still reach to touch it with my fingers and I do in my weakness miss it

I know satan wanted me to also give up the devotion and dwell on the necklace . I did not . I finished . However I did make note to self .Do not do true devotion reading for your bedtime read

Now the strangest thing is this past sunday .A church friend turned to me after mass and said she felt Jesus asking her to give me her necaklace ! She did . it is however something I could not wear it is huge more like a medaluion then a medal . It is beautiful it is a silver celtic cross and was given her by the benadictin sisters at a retreat yrs ago .
This cros meant alot to her so I accepted it I knew she would not offer had she not felt called to . Now however I'm at a loss as what to do with it but there must be a purpose

Maybe I'm to move on to bigger things

I like small and simple though not big and complicated

just sharing , Roxie

It looks like Jesus is repaying you one hundred-fold.

You did say this new cross is about a hundred times bigger than the one you lost, right?

Now just be prepared when the gigantic Miraculous Medal and the one from Garabandal show up. You may have to hang them on your wall instead of around your neck.
