“Today I wanted to make a marker to remember what God has been speaking to me about over the last few weeks. I find it is so easy to hear him speak through bible verses or words or pictures or sermons, worship songs and then I can totally forget a few days or weeks later!

I wanted to make a pile of pebbles to help me remember. Several times in the Old Testament (e.g.: Genesis 28, Joshua 4) the Israelites built piles of stones to help them remember what God had done and they worked as physical reminders of significant events; reminding the people of God’s faithfulness.

So I thought it would be a lovely thing to paint: a stack of stones to help us remember what God has done. It might be that you want to add special bible verses like I have. Or perhaps you want to write or draw things that you are thankful for on each stone. Or perhaps there are words or pictures you have received that you want to remember and you can write or draw those onto the pebbles. We learn so much from looking back and remembering what God has done and who he is and so having markers to remind us can really help when times get tough.”
