Shopping fun:
Debra Hill sang for us. Her voice is truly a gift from God!
Rosemary Nelson, from The Cottage Door in Old Katy, brought a lot of goodies from her store to show us. She had great ideas for gifts for weddings, babies, friends, Mother's Day, Graduates, etc. She carries Brighton, Vera Bradley, Pandora, and many others. http://www.thecottagedoor.com/
Here is Betty looking at some of the items on display.
Dorothy Stall told us why she knows now she can't do it by herself. What an inspiring story!
Here is Cathie, our chair, with Dorothy Stall, our speaker. 
We had lots of beautiful items to decorate our stones: colorful pebbles, broken mosaics, rocks, marbles, etc.

Joanne: God has helped my family through out the years in many specific ways on many occasions. My Ebenezer stone honors God at this time. My husband and I lived in PA until we finished college. We moved to LA on our first job assignment. We purchased a home there and raised three sons. Each of our sons married and had children in LA.
Betty: My stone represents a clock without hands. However, there are a number of colored stones in the middle which represents the timing that God will use in answering our prayers just as he did in answering Hannah's prayer. He answers according to his purpose, and certainly we just rest in that assurance not knowing where the hands are pointing. 
Debra: The outer circle stones are similar to a clock-God's Timing is perfect and He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The pottery in the center has vine and leaves because God is the vine , he is life-in Him we move and breath and have our being
Jonnie: My story shows family unity with Christ as our center: the pure white cross in the center. The red stones on each side are His blood He shed for us. The large two stones up top are my husband (Joseph) and I. underneath us are two stones that represent our two boys (Ezekiel and Zackary) then below them are two stones the same color, on each side which are our two goddaughters who are identical twins (Krista and Iyana) . All the orange marbles around the out part of the circle of the stone is to show that his love will cover the universe and all that is in it. 
Ginny: I can tell you that my stone was of a dogwood tree bloom. I remember back when I was a little girl, visiting my grandparents they had dogwood trees in their front yard. My mother would tell me the story of the dogwood tree blossoms. The ends of the four petals resemble the wounds that Jesus suffered after being nailed to the cross. The white petals represent Jesus being sinless and the center of the flower represents the crown of thorns. Every year, during spring, when they bloom I reflect back to that time in my life and how I was in Ahh over Jesus and how God could make such a prefect flower. I have not seen too many dogwood trees blooming around here but, this stone will remind me of them all year long. Thanks for asking me to share my story.
