Memorial Box Monday
Our pastor's wife and soon-to-be good friend (I can tell already) has a tradition of putting momentos of God's faithfulness in a memorial box. The box is displayed in their home and they tell friends and family the stories behind these little items. This is to remind them of the times the Lord has come through for them in amazing ways. I want to adopt this tradition for our family so that we always remember His faithfulness to us in big and small situations. When I get home (and find a good box for display) I think I'll put in the pen from my first day of training at my new job today. It's a bobble head pen with a little guy on to who looks like a troll doll. When you push on him he yells various forms of the phrase, "Thank you." I love this little guy! As I'm learning more about my new job and the company I'm working for I am more and more grateful. They truly seem like they want to take care of their people. The benefits are amazing! I took this job even though the pay won't cover our expenses (not even close). But as I've prayed about it I just keep hearing from the Lord that it isn't my job to do the math. It's my job to thank Him for what I have and be as good a steward of it as I can. Hopefully Mr. Bobble Head Troll Pen will remind me of that.

I like that idea, makes it harder to forget that God is faithful in the big things as well as the small ones!
