And Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken out of the Jordan. He said to the Israelites, "In the future when your descendants ask their parents, "What do these stones mean?" tell them..." Joshua 4:20-22 NIV Stories Memorials Not just any stories, but the stories of God's miracles, His intervention, His activity in your life and in your heart, your experience of Him... Why? Because we forget. We forget who God is, we forget what He's done, we forget what He's done in our lives & the lives of others & let our circumstances or our feelings dictate how we see God Unless we have some memorial stones of when God did... of answers to prayer, of lives changed, of who God is, what He is about in the world...& our part in it... #memorials #stories #somethingtochewon

He told them..."Each of you must pick up one stone and carry it out on your shoulder - twelve stones in all, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. We will use these stones to build a memorial. In the future your children will ask you, What do these stones mean? Then you can tell them...These stones will stand as a memorial among the people... Joshua 4:5-7 NLT What are the memorials in your life of God at work? One key way to strengthen our faith is the reminders of answered prayer, of lives that have been changed, of God at work...to remind ourselves when things are hard and God seems silent & distant. What are our memorial stones? #memorials #joshua
