Ebenezer

Today is Monday. I had a very good weekend. Friday was a good day, so I went to the library (one of my fun things to do!) Then Saturday was our family's monthly birthday celebration. Our family has 15 people in it whose birthdays are spread all year, so every month we have a birthday celebration to get together and to of course celebrate the birthdays that month. We all look forward to it. Well, perhaps, no one looks forward to it as much as I (Grandma) does. Anyway, it was another good day for me and the weather was great. I got my son, Dana, to walk me out to see how he made his chicken coop! I had been curious about it and found the time interesting and educational.
So anyway, I was quite tired on Sunday, but we decided to go to church anyway, and of course, God blessed me with his presence and in being able to talk with different people. I did have to rest the rest of the day, though.
Today as I was reading my devotional book "The Daily Bread" it was talking about the stone that Samuel set up. He called it the "Ebenezer Stone" "Thus Far as the Lord Helped Us"
This idea has always captured my attention, but how do you put up a stone to show how far the Lord has helped us? The devotional book suggested: Keeping a journal, Keeping a prayer and answers to prayers journal, and telling others what the Lord has done for you. So I am telling you that God has answered a prayer for me today, and He gave me a fantastic weekend!
