Kudos to ST. CHRISTOPHER!!!

i went to the bookshop looking forlornly for a medal of St. Columbanus as a gift.

-_-

like, i don't think that exists lor.

as Don says, "who's that???" haha.

you know how Catholic bookshops have those boxes with segregated sections where they keep all the different medals of different saints? yes, i went through the entire box, especially since the medals weren't exactly kept in their right segments but all mixed together. yup, no St. Columbanus.

ok so i settled for St. Christopher.

before long, i found a medal of St. Christopher. without looking too hard. but he's common to find, right?

still slightly disappointed that there is nothing on St. Columbanus, i took my St. Christopher and was going to pay when i turned around, thinking i should look harder for a perhaps, shinier medal. i'm not a stickler for these things, i usually choose the very first piece i spy because i feel in some way, that first piece has come to me, unless it's seriously damaged or defaced.

but since it's a gift, i thought i'll just see if there's a better one.

i rummaged through the entire box, going through medal by medal... there are LOTS to go through... and there's not another St. Christopher medal!!! i got the ONLY one without even looking too hard!

off i skipped to Don, pronouncing to him, "This medal is meant for me! i got the ONLY one in the box!" and explained how it came into my hands so easily and that i only realised it's the only one after searching through the box.

he said, "THERE, you have it!" :D

KUDOS TO YOU ST. CHRISTOPHER!!! whether you're still on the list of saints for the calendar or not!

*grin*
