Dream: To Consider as a Possibility

God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.

Cairn: A Heap of Stones Piled Up as a Memorial

When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”

Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it. He called that place Bethel, though the city used to be called Luz.

Tuesday’s Pics

The concept of a cairn was introduced to me when I visited my sister and her family, while they were living on a farm in Scotland. The cairn throne was a wedding gift to the farmer and his wife. A Scottish marker of the hightest point on their property and a memorial to their wedding vows.

I collected the small pile of stones on our recent vacation at special spots along the shore of Lake Michigan. I piled them on my table the other morning as a reminder of God’s goodness to us this summer.

Yesterday, I happened upon a blog post about cairns and culture and community and listening.

I leave you with the photos to enjoy and a link to the article: Cairn-making.
