Serendipity--A Boy, a Father, and a Treehouse

The story behind this picture is basically that the boy having an opportunity to plan and build a project with his dad was more meaningful than the end product. I absolutely had to use my son for this one, since he's been begging me for a treehouse, even though we don't even have a tree!

Joshua 4--Eben-Ezer


When Joshua led the Israelites into the promised land after 40 years of traveling in the wilderness, he asked them to gather together 12 stones to build a monument. That way, their children could look at it and be reminded of the miracles God had given them, or it would prompt a discussion with their parents, asking why it was there. To me, this is why I blog--so that my children can know the great miracles that God performed in behalf of my family.

My models were so sweet--Mark and Ann and their boys--one of whom played an old woman! And Rolf and Sally and Steve. Thanks for all getting together in Bible garb and hauling stones for me!
