Chapter 15

Pam pulled open the door to the small cabin that would be her weekend home. She was weary from the six-hour drive. Her stomach had begun to growl a hundred miles ago. She'd resisted the urge to stop for food, both from the desire to get here before dark and the knowledge that the small kitchenette would be stocked with essentials. Brookside offered several meal plans for their guests. She'd requested the basic food package for her three-day stay.

She dropped her small suitcase inside the door, made a visit to the facilities, and headed to the kitchen. Inside the small refrigerator she found a supply of canned soda and bottled water along with a half-gallon of milk and several prepackaged sandwiches. A check of the shelves above the stove revealed an assortment of canned soups, single-serving boxes of cereals, small bags of chips, and a selection of microwavable entrees. There were even several packages of snack crackers, cookies, and a handful of candy bars. She smiled and selected a package of cheese and peanut butter crackers.

Part of Brookside's appeal came from the fact that you could stay here for days and not see anyone if that's what you wanted. She could supplement the groceries provided for her at the general store a couple of miles up the road, but she thought these things would do just fine for a couple of days. Her soul was far hungrier than her body.

She carried the crackers through the small cabin, picked up her bag, and walked back to the sleeping alcove. There was a note on her pillow.

Pam, welcome back to Brookside. As a return guest, you are already aware of many of the services we provide. Please settle in and make yourself at home. The chapel is open 24/7 for your convenience, and our staff of counselors and pastors are here to help if you need them. Per our conversation yesterday regarding the reason for your visit, here are some Scripture references to get you started on your journey to spiritual peace:

Ephesians 4:32. "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."

Colossians 3:13. "Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you. So also do ye."

Mark 11:26. "But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."

The front desk is always staffed. Please dial 0 if you need anything during your stay. The counseling session you requested with Dr. Sylvester has been scheduled for 10AM Saturday.

Pam folded the note and laid it aside. She sat on the edge of the bed, releasing the stress of the drive and the tension of the past two weeks in a deep breath. "Father, thank You for this place. It's just You and me for the next couple of days. Please help me find Your peace and restore balance to my life. I get it that You want me to forgive Alan, not just for his good but for mine.
