Rocks of Remembrance & Sabbatical Blessings
In the Old Testament, standing stones were a way of commemorating God’s work among the nation of Israel. See Joshua 4:1-24 as an example of this. Standing stones were meant to be visual reminders, as we are all prone to forget the work of God. They were meant as generational talking points, and parents were to tell their children the story represented by the stones.
At Crossroads, we have Rocks of Remembrance. These rocks are meant to be a tangible way for us to express appreciation for God’s work in our lives and serve as a visual reminder each time we walk in and out of the building, so that we might never forget. In Joshua 24:14-15, Joshua makes a bold declaration to the nation, “…choose this day whom you will serve…But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
If, in your life, there is a work of God you want to express appreciation for, take a moment to write a message on a rock and place it in the bin by the boulder just outside the main entrance. Rocks and markers are available near the Welcome Desk. Then, take a glance at the bin each time you come and go and let it serve as a reminder of God’s faithfulness and your commitment to Him. At times, pause with your children and tell them about your rock, or tell them these rocks represent the work of God among us in a variety of ways. All our hearts will be encouraged by the visual testimony of these rocks as they increase over time.
