Stones of Remembrance

Joshua 4:6-7

After crossing the Jordan, Joshua had the people set up stones as a memorial, so future generations would ask what they meant — and be told the story of God's faithfulness.

Mark the moments that mattered.

Some memories deserve to be intentionally preserved, not just remembered vaguely.

Expect your kids to ask questions.

The stones existed so future generations would ask. Be ready with the answer.

Tell the story, don't assume it.

Faithfulness has to be spoken, or it gets lost within a generation.

Remember what God has already done.

Today, of all days, is a good one to remember what He's carried you through.

Build memorials in ordinary ways.

You don't need actual stones — traditions, conversations, and habits can serve the same purpose.

Dad Takeaway: If you don't tell the story, your kids won't know it happened.
