The Israelites gathered stones from Jordan and built an altar so when their children asked, they could both remember and teach the children the benefits of God. Do you realize your memories provide the same opportunity? That's why we must tell our souls "forget not." It behooves us to glean the profit from each memory so we grant our loved ones a right assumption about the character of God, even in the painful memories.
Do you have an emblem or keepsake that expresses to your family the benefits of God? If so, describe it. If not, think of one. Pull it out and describe it so you can explain to your family what it represents.
Crosses all over the house, angels, photos, Scripture on the walls etc.
