“See!” he said to all the people.
“This stone will be a witness against us.
It has heard all the words the LORD has said to us.
It will be a witness against you if you are untrue to your God.”
JOSHUA 24:27
I’ve been working in my yard after school in the evenings.
Cutting back dead plants, planting a few new things.
My dream is to extend my memory garden in the back yard so that it wraps around our fence line.
I’ve had to move rocks to extend the garden’s boundary line and to help hold down my landscape paper until I can buy some mulch.
I don’t think a lot about the rocks as I’m lifting them and moving them around, except that I am thankful for their many purposes.
As I was reading in Joshua this morning, the rocks in my memory garden popped into my head.
I also remembered a sermon I heard as a young girl at a family camp in Nashville, Tennessee (I’m pretty sure that’s where-I’ll have to ask my dad).
Anyway, the man who spoke was a scientist. He believes that everything around us that absorbs sound will one day be used to replay our words and life story in the presence of God.
The walls of our homes, the trees in the woods, the rocks in the fields.
I think about the sermon from time to time, and I wonder what it will be like if all of these things are one day able to “witness for and against us.”
It’s almost more than my mind can comprehend.
In the end, I guess it doesn’t really matter how God displays His wonder and power.
I just believe He will.
And I do believe it will be like nothing we have ever seen.
For today, what do I do with the thought of the rocks “crying out?”
I think I learn to be even more aware of my words, my actions, my heart………..
Praying that today we can all walk a little closer to the Creator of these rocks.
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
