My Word For the Year

Posted on by Cale Caron

Each year my best friend paints/decorates rocks with a word, phrase or Bible verse–whatever we’ve chosen for ourselves or received during prayer.  I call them “altar rocks”, because men in the Old Testament–like Abraham and Isaac–would set stones as memorials of momentous points in their pilgrimages with God.

A large wicker bowl is filled with the ones she’s made for me–testimony of my faith journey, and our long-distance friendship which has grown and meshed through 15 years of blogging, emails, occasional texts, lots of cards and gifts, a rare phone call–but we’ve never met in person.  She’s God’s gift, the dearest sister.

In His divine compassion and great love, the Lord matched us up and tied a cord around our hearts, connected to His. 

We are 2 Sisters/1 Heart💝✝💝

King James Bible
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.  Ecclesiastes 4:12

My collection of altar rocks is much bigger than when this photo was taken, they fill the entire red basket beneath the wicker heart💝

  1. I like the idea of decorating rocks with Bible verses. I found such a rock once on my walks. The way it was positioned it seemed to have been left there deliberately. I photographed it and left it where it was for someone else to pick up.
