Remembering His Greatness — 1 Comment

  1. Love this post, Holly. And thanks for the plug! Your idea of remembering and the pile of rocks reminds me of a Thanksgiving tradition I started with my family a few years ago. I went to a rock store (the kind that provides gravel and rocks for landscaping) and bought as many 2-4″ smooth river rocks as the number of people I was having for Thanksgiving dinner. I introduced the tradition by reminding my family of the Bible story you mentioned and how other places in the Bible talk of people building memorials to God when they were thankful. I suggested we each write something on a rock that we were thankful for, or some way we’d seen God work in our lives that year. Each family was invited to take their rocks home to start their own memorial–in a corner of their office, in the back yard, wherever they saw fit. Each year we write on another stone and add it to our memorials of God’s faithfulness to us. It’s a nice visual reminder when things look bleak.
    Thanks again for a terrific post!
