This week we learned about the children of Israel crossing the Jordan River to go into the Promised Land.  After the waters parted and the people were safely across Joshua picked 12 men to be leaders. These men each got a stone and a monument was made to remember what God had done for them.  When people would pass by the standing stones God's people would tell of the what God had done for them.
May we be standing stones who tell others the wonderful things God has done for us!
