A
Cross in My Pocket
©
Mrs. Verna Mae Thomas
I carry
a cross in my pocket
A
simple
reminder to me
Of
the fact that I am a Christian
No
matter where I may be.
This
little cross is not magic,
Nor
is it a good luck charm
It
isn't meant to protect me
From
every physical harm.
It's
not for identification
For
all the world to see
It's
simply an understanding
Between
my Savior and me.
When
I put my hand in my pocket
To
bring out a coin or a key
The
cross is there to remind me
Of
the price He paid for me.
It reminds
me, too, to be thankful
For
my blessings day by day
And to strive to serve Him better
In
all that I do and say.
It's
also a daily reminder
Of
the peace and comfort I share
With
all who know my Master
And
give themselves to His care.
So,
I carry a cross in my pocket
Reminding
no one but me
That
Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life
If
only I'll let Him be.
