THE CROSS MADE OF PALM FRONDS

There's a man who lives in the nearby YMCA, a man who loves books,  and who comes by regularly to gather whatever books Marash Girl leaves for him on her porch. He salvages books that are unsalvagable, cleans and repairs them, resurrects them, as it were, then passes them on. This week Marash Girl had only one book to give him --  a book with a palm frond cross which had been slipped in between its pages years before.

One can only wonder if he will find and treasure that cross in his "new" book, placed there by an unknown believer, the cross made lovingly and prayerfully on a Palm Sunday so long ago.
