      PROLOGUE

      There are times when we seek God for wisdom for a situation. There are times when we cry out to God in intercession for a loved one. There are times when we humbly kneel before God for peace over our circumstances. Then there are times when we quietly sit, talk, praise and meditate on His Holy Word. Times when we intimately share with God our true appreciation for His precious daily gifts.

      It is during these precious, intimate times that God tenders our hearts to hear His loving voice. During those moments we are touched with inspiration and the revelation of His greatness. These are times when we join the Master on "A Walk To Gethsemane.

      This book is dedicated to those moments and the wisdom He has shared during those many walks. Find a quiet place, begin with prayer and enjoy the tender words of hope inspired by A Walk To Gethsemane.

      Friends

      A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24

      When I was happy,

      You rejoiced with me.

      When I was troubled,

      You listened.

      When I was sad,

      You shared my tears.

      When I saw despair for tomorrow,

      You reminded me of yesterday.

      When I saw hopelessness,

      You turned my face toward Jesus.

      Thank you for being . . .

      My Friend.

      A Moment in Time

      And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32

      Satan takes a moment in time,

      and creates a most horrible incident,

      that scars and fractures,

      our views and beliefs,

      for the rest of our lives.

      He strategically places in our path,

      demonized souls – the mentally ill,

      some that say that they come,

      in the name of the Lord,

      to steal our innocence,

      fill us with fear,

      and distort the way we view,

      every person, every sound,

      every surrounding, every shape,

      every race, every fragrance,

      from that day forward.

      We cower consciously for months or years,

      subconsciously for decades,

      trying to walk past the anxieties,

      we may not understand.

      We displace the anger and hurt onto the innocent,

      often onto those people we love the most,

      justifying our behavior with false truths,

      and attempting Biblical justification,

      but knowing deep inside,

      our actions were wrong,

      yet not knowing how to stop,

      and feeling deeper and deeper guilt,

      because of it.

      We blame God for not being there,

      we run from the very presence,

      that can bring us healing.

      We run from others,

      we run from ourselves,

      we run from every possible circumstance,

      that could possibly bring us pain.

      We run and run and run,

      until we are unable to take,

      another step.

      It’s at that moment,

      when we can run no farther,

      when we cry out to others for answers,

      when we cry out to God for help,

      that Jesus can draw close.

      It’s in that time that we can see,

      that He was with us,

      all the time,

      crying with our pain,

      holding us as we wept in the night,

      waiting for us to call upon Him,

      to heal the brokenness,

      we can no longer endure.

      In that breaking moment,

      when Satan’s shackles are broken away,

      when our mind is refreshed,

      and our vision restored,

      that healing comes,

      wave by wave,

      washing, cleansing, renewing.

      Prejudice is lost,

      fear is captured,

      hatred is banished,

      anger subdued,

      life restored.

      Come Lord Jesus.

      Turning Around

      Be still, and know that I am God: . . . Psalm 46:10

      I have never known the love of a natural Father.

      But through the unconditional love of my children,

      You have shown me how precious it can be.

      I have found it so very hard to trust man,

      But You have shown me that love can be present,

      Without performance or expectation.

      I have struggled through past loneliness,

      But You have shown me the treasure of being alone,

      And quiet before You.

      Thank You for turning my world around.

      A Pocket Full of Miracles

      Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

      . . . The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16

      All of my life I’ve had a terrible habit that I haven’t been able to break. My mother always lets me know how unladylike it is – and I agree – I just can’t stop! No matter how hard I try, I just can’t keep my hands out of my pockets.

      Over the years I’ve lost my ability to remember things (even my name once or twice). To compensate for my memory challenge, I have been known to write myself notes and stuff them in my pockets. Sometimes the notes prove useful, but most of the time they get wadded and creased and become illegible by the time I truly need them.

      One day, while browsing through a Christian Bookstore (my very favorite pastime), I came upon A Cross In My Pocket coins and medals. They come in several shapes and sizes. I began to search for five separate medals, each with its own special purpose. Before long I had found just what I wanted – the miracles had begun.

      The largest coin has a cross on the front with Dad engraved over the top. On the back is a prayer of thanksgiving for who he is. This coin would represent my husband. With a silent prayer I slipped him into my pocket.

      The next largest coin says Jesus across the front and it cites a scripture on the back. It is the heaviest coin and represents my heaviest burden at this time, my teenage son. So easily he could turn the wrong way, yet through prayer and intercession I have faith that he will remain on the right path. With a silent prayer I slipped him into my pocket.

      Next comes a nickel with a cross stamped out of the center. It was new and shiny, and the perfect coin to represent my 9-year-old son who has not yet shown an interest in drawing close to the cross. With a prayer I slipped him into my pocket, along with the other two.

      Next is a coppery penny with a heart stamped out of the center. This is the coin, which
