What is this joint,
where I sacrifice?
It’s barren, lonely, dark
What is this place,
where I walk?
The path of crushing pain
Why am I here?
What have I done, my friends
to deserve this horrid end?
Have I not loved you enough?
Not forgiven you enough?
I thought I kept you well fed.
Yet, here I am.
In this joint, this Calvary,
I spend my final hours,
alone and with bretheren.
Eating, hanging out,
walking in a garden
at the foot of a mount.
I am sad in this place
that I shall be betrayed and denied
and carry your burdens.
Abba has made it so.
He sees the broken world
and wants to save soul and flesh.
As do I.
So, I will go now.
To walk the final steps,
endure unspeakable agony
and sacrifice for dear Abba.
For you.
For all.
What is this joint that I’ll die in and rise to?
It is forgiveness.
Grace.
Faith.
Hope.
Peace.
Love.
I will love you always,
in your house and mine
and see you one day
at the foot of my Father,
in the garden of heaven.
Stream of Consciousness Saturday is the brainchild of author Linda G. Hill. Every Friday, Linda provides her followers with an inspiring blogger’s prompt. It can be a word or words and sometimes bonus points are involved (my favorite). Linda asks us to write without editing, other than correcting spelling errors.
Just go with the flow.
Like a babbling brook or rain drops. Click HERE if this type of writing floats your boat or helps with your decision-making. Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “cheek.” Use it as a noun or verb. Have fun!
What a magnificent use of the prompt, Mary. Thank you!
Thank you, Dan. It’s one of those posts that just spilled out from the heart.

Great tribute to Holy Week and Easter, which it appears we’ll all spend locked in our houses…
Thanks John. We’re supposed to get rain and snow on Sunday and Monday, so no problem staying in here. Have a happy Easter!
Beautiful.
Thanks Ally!
Imagining what it would be like through the eyes of Jesus draws us closer. What a wonderful perspective you’ve brought to us … divinely inspired. Thank you!
You’re welcome, JoAnna. We are blessed by His sacrifice and forgiveness.
