It occurs to me, as I get ready for this holiday, that there must be a way of remembering All the ways God has been at work in the lives of my kids and grandkids. So, When we play our "question game" at the dinner table this year, I will be sure to write down the answers! I think this year we will plan to covenant together to pray for each other and for God's specific answers to prayer. The huge answer that we saw when Jeremiah arrived has spurred me to believe we should be praying more and more as we see the evil in the world around us growing. So, after the "What are you most thankful for"? question I will give out assignments for the next time we meet. Pray. Amy, I will include you too, so you have to send me your "Thankful for" answer in an email and you have to give me at least one specific thing that we can all be praying for over the course of the next year. THINK BIG!
Then, like the Israelites we will be able to put out "those stones of rememberance" so we will not be so forgetful as to all the amazing things God has done for us as a family!
“What do these stones mean?” then you shall let your children know, "Israel passed over this Jordan on dry ground." For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until you passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up for us until we passed over, so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the LORD is mighty, that you may fear the LORD your God forever.'” Joshua 4:19-24

What a good idea to write down the answers! For a person who journals all the time, it should be no problem to get it all down in writing. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
