“Tell me a story from when you were a little girl?” I knew the question was coming, as it did every night when I tucked my son into bed. I was running out of stories, but he didn’t care if he’d heard the same one before. He loved hearing about how I grew up, and he never grew tired or bored with hearing the same stories. He desired to know me more deeply.
Isn’t this what God commanded His people to do after crossing the Jordan? Joshua 4:6b-7 says, “When your children ask in time to come, ‘What do those stones mean to you?’ then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. . . . So these stones shall be to the people of Israel a memorial forever.” Informing our children of God’s work in our lives is foundational to developing their own relationship with Him.
