Pocket Prayer and Pouch

Many years ago an elderly woman sold me one of these for .50 at a church fair and since then,   I have been making and giving them away.

                                                                                    

                                                               

I carry 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 blessing day by day

And to strive and 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.

Make 3 copies of the verse, cut them with a decent margin all around. Glue them to an 8 1/2x11 sheet of paper side by side on the landscape layout. Then make as many copies as you want without printing this page each time.  From your copies cut the verse with a small margin all around. Now fold to fit your pouch.
