Sometimes I forget all that He’s done for me. Other times, I forget to even give thanks. But today, I want to pause and remember God for all that He has done this year.
This blog post has been on my heart for over a month, but I had to remind myself just yesterday that God has been so good to us through our adoption journey and shown Himself throughout it. It’s when I start to forget that I begin to be burdened. When the “blah” of life starts creeping in, I need a reminder like the Israelites had that will knock some sense into this forgetful head of mine.
I was inspired by the Book of Joshua to create my own stone of thanksgiving for the past year. This stone is now a physical reminder of all that God has done. You see, in Joshua chapter 1, Joshua is established as the new leader of the Israelites after Moses’s death and the Lord tells him to lead the people “into the land I am about to give to them” (verse 2, NIV). The first step: cross the Jordan River at flood stage.
