078 Joshua 3 – 5; Mark 1.1 – 1.20

Everybody must get a stone. Not everyone, but representatives of all Israel. Memories are a crazy thing to hold onto. Our children would tell us that we never did anything with them. This kind of conversation usually came in the wake of us saying ‘no’ to something they wanted to do. Our kids could be downright obstinate about us not doing things with them no matter how many times we would recite what we had down together. Jan and I would be forced to pull out the big guns on them at this point. The big gun was the scrap book Jan had made of all of our trips and incidental outings. We would sit down and start looking at the book and silence would begin to cover the room as the truth of the pictures brought it home. The Israelites needed a picture of they day they crossed through the Jordon river, yet on dry ground, to take the land. You twelve reps gather twelve stones to remember this day. What do you do as a way to remember what God has done in your life? A journal, pictures, written prayers and dates of the answer--what do you do to remember what God has done for you?
