Frankie and the Dreamcatcher turned Cross

Frankie came in to work last week to use our washroom. I said “hi!” and he came over.

Frankie has always been very generous with me, in spite of his poverty. Previous times he had given me a caught and gutted fish, drawings, oatmeal bars, and has offered to give me his vitamins when I was ill.

I had some fruit in the office fridge so I thought I’d pass it to him. In turn he offered to give me a necklace he made out of some twigs, string, and fishing line. He even made a kinda catch release with the bend in the twig. it was pretty neat. The pendant he made in to a kind of dream catcher and explained its meaning.

I was, as usual, flattered by his offer, and a little hesitant over the dreamcatcher (they’re just the kind of spiritual that doesn’t align with Scripture) but I really appreciated the thought. I thanked Frankie. He said it needed some more work on, so he took it away and told me that he’d bring it back.

Sure enough, later in the day, Frankie returned with the necklace. When I returned he made the dreamcatcher in to a cross!

Frankie's Dreamcatcher Turned Cross

I’m so blown away by how he converted it to a cross. I honestly don’t know where Frankie stands before God. I don’t know what God is up to in Frankie’s life, but I’m up for holding on tight for the ride!

I pray that God would reveal more truth about Him to Frankie, that he might understand the Cross. In the same way that Frankie transformed the dreamcatcher to a Cross, I pray the Holy Spirit would transform Frankie’s heart too.
