Day 21 - What Mean These Stones?

The Deliverer


Take you hence … twelve stones. – Joshua 4:3

The Invitation … Remember
-Read the story of Joshua and the crossing of the river Jordan in Joshua 3 and 4.

The Journey
-Either figuratively or literally, gather twelve stones. Assign each stone to represent a blessing that you have recognized in your journey toward Christ.
-Share these blessings with your family. Testify how you are coming to know the Healer, the Master, the Son of God, even Jesus Christ. What are the stories you can tell about how He has strengthened, enlightened, comforted, or otherwise blessed you?

My Experience …
This has been an amazing journey, one that I am going to continue to embark upon. I want to continually develop my relationship with my Savior. I want to continue to have this feeling that is in my heart. I love the peace and the comfort I feel. I know it comes from my Savior. He has delivered me from so much heartache and pain.

The trials are still going to be there. This is not a perfect world where trials don’t exist. What I have come to know and understand is that the Savior is always there. He never leaves. I have come to understand that on such a personal level. I know that because He loves me on such a personal level, I can trust His plan for me. I will not be lead astray.

My twelve stones or blessings that I have learned are:
1. Love
2. Courage
3. Strength
4. Patience
5. Forgiveness
6. Answered Prayers
7. Faith
8. Hope
9. Healing
10. Peace
11. Friendship
12. Compassion

There is meaning behind each blessing. They have been such a part of my life lately. I think that I will continue this journey by each day looking at a blessing and telling a story behind it. I want to keep feeling the way I feel. I know I am being greatly blessed.
