And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13
You know I've been spending hours searching for some "good" truth preacher's on TV. I may have found the station: today I was listening to Jentezen Franklin I think is the name. He was talking about the STONES required by Joshua to be built at the parting of the Red Sea. He went on to speak about the STONES/rocks of our past, and that the way to success was to follow them.
My mother only ever hinted of God when she would talk about her mother, Alice Marks. I was pretty young and not quite interested (only to be a memory)when she would talk about how her mother was what I will call "like Jesus". After some thought remembering my mom's words, I remember that my grandma(who died at age 42) must have been very spiritual and probably followed the STONE paths of her ancestors- God loving, God following, God fearing.
Little did I know that on that dismal, blustery, cold day when I went to the cemetary where my mom said that my grandma was buried, that I would actually find the site. I had no idea exactly where it lay. I had never had my mom take me to the grave site, only point from the car in some direction into the cemetary. On that day, some 40 plus years later, I finally left my car and went in the "pointed" direction in search of my grandma's grave site.
Behold, there it was: I know today that my God led me to that STONE. From my tear-filled eyes I read the grave stone- Alice Marks.
