They just remind me of the provision of GOD to His children (<a href=\"http:\/\/biblehub.com\/joshua\/4-7.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Joshua 4:4-7<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, I just love stones&#8230;especially those tumbled smooth by river currents or sea tides. They remind me of the work of God in our lives &#8211; how He takes rough, craggy humans and, by His Spirit, transforms us into vessels fit in form to worship Him and love others.<\/p>\n<p>My husband asked us a few days ago to reflect on how we saw God act in our lives and in the world over the last year.\u00a0 He said:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;We are inclined to forget the works of God &#8211; remembering the works of GOD takes an intentional act.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I spent intentional time this weekend, my journal and this year&#8217;s calendar in hand, and looked at all the ways God stopped me in my tracks with His greatness. So much, so\u00a0amazingly much&#8230;that I hadn&#8217;t thought of recently in the daily forgetfulness.<\/p>\n<p>It got me thinking of other times across my life when\u00a0GOD&#8217;s presence was so obvious. Remembering is a good thing to do often, and especially as the year winds down. In another blog post, I&#8217;d like to share some of what He called to remembrance.<\/p>\n<p>What are you remembering about God today? I would love to hear.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/2014-Dec-Blog-pics-Stones-of-Remembrance-0021.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1578\" src=\"http:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/2014-Dec-Blog-pics-Stones-of-Remembrance-0021.jpg\" alt=\"2014 Dec Blog pics - Stones of Remembrance 002\" width=\"4320\" height=\"2633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/2014-Dec-Blog-pics-Stones-of-Remembrance-0021.jpg 4320w, https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/2014-Dec-Blog-pics-Stones-of-Remembrance-0021-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/2014-Dec-Blog-pics-Stones-of-Remembrance-0021-1024x624.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4320px) 100vw, 4320px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonvillebiblechurch.com\/pdfs\/sermons\/Joshua%204%20Stones%20of%20Remembrance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Stones of Remembrance<\/em> &#8211; Joshua 4<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/biblestudies\/articles\/spiritualformation\/remember.html?start=1\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Remember!<\/em> &#8211; Remembering God&#8217;s help yesterday helps us to trust him for today and tomorrow<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/viaemmaus.wordpress.com\/2010\/05\/31\/dont-forget-what-god-has-done-for-you-a-list-of-passages-that-summarize-redemptive-history\/\" target=\"_blank\">Don&#8217;t Forget What God Has Done For You: A List of Passages that Summarize Redemptive History<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bible.knowing-jesus.com\/topics\/Remembering\" target=\"_blank\">63 Bible Verses About Remembering<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbn.com\/spirituallife\/devotions\/stewart_forgetting.aspx?option=print\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Problem of Forgetting<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember the wonderful works He has done, His wonders, and the judgments He has pronounced. &#8211; Psalm 105:5 I have toted a small pile of 12 stones across continents.
