God didn't want His people to Forget how He had parted the Waters of the Jordan. "Pick up a stone," He told twelve of the Men, "and stack them up into an Altar so that when your children ask What they mean you can tell them how God delivered you." * Commenting on the passage our pastor Asked, "What remembrances of God's Goodness are displayed in your home?" I searched. And I found an item or two in each Room: Crosses, Candles spelling out HOPE, Bible verses hanging over my piano and Over my bed, A tear bottle reminding me that God counts mine. I had collected the meaningful visuals over The years, each a silent reminder of God's grace. And, now, when folks notice and ask what the Mementos mean I can explain that on the Sunny days God and I rejoiced, and on the Stormy ones when the river was too wide and I Couldn't cross it, He carried me. *Joshua Chapter 4 |
