What Do The Stones Mean?

One little girl and two adults have begun their journey together as a family.  In the next few days and months, she will need to learn about her new place in the world. While they work at becoming a family, the stories of the first days of their life together will become faith markers.

Our stories are important to remember.  We are able to process our life and connect with one another through stories.   The thing is . . . what is key  . . . is to see the activity of God in our personal life.
Joshua told the leaders of the twelve tribes to lay down stones that would remind them of the stories of the faithfulness of God:  Let this be a sign among you, so that when your children ask later, saying, “What do these stones mean to you? “ Joshua 4:6
See your stories like the stones of the twelve tribes.
Tell your stories as if you are laying down stones on the way to the Promised Land.
What do your stones mean to you?
How did the activity of God change you?
Celebrate your story today.
Learning with you to KICK START the day by laying down the stones.
