"What Mean These Stones"

Read the story of Joshua and the crossing of the river Jordan in Joshua 3 and 4.

When you come to the Red Sea place

in your life,

In spite of all you can do,

There is no way back,

There is no way around,

There is no way but through,

Then know God with a soul serene,

And the dark and the storm are gone,

God stills the wind,

God stills the waves,

God says to your soul "Go On"

~~ Baird T, Spalding

Either figuratively or literally gather twelve stones.  Assign each stone to represent a blessing that you have recognized in your journey toward Christ.  What will your monument to the Lord be?  Share these blessings with your family.  Testify how you are coming to know the Healer, the Master, the Son of God, even Jesus Christ.  What are the stories you can tell about how He has strengthened, enlightened, comforted, or otherwise blessed you?

"He knows the way because He is the way."  Jeffery R. Holland
