granite memories...for the glory of God...

Greenmount placed the monument early last week at the boys grave site. We met together with some friends and family on Memorial Day to remember, place some flowers and make another attempt at wrapping our flesh around what this is. I've been to grave sites before. This one has a different presence about it. Could be the pictures engraved on the other side- of the little guys that should be crawling around and learning to talk. Could be seeing Shawna and John's names in granite. Could be Maher's timely lyric or the letter to the boys in Shawna's handwriting. It's all gorgeous- John and Shawna did a wonderful job making the challenging decisions about what they wanted carved in stone. Something that would bear worthy, meaningful testimony to what happened in us through this, something that would be beautiful enough for these little servants. These little men of God. I hope you are afforded the chance to see it in person and if you are, that you'll  be ministered to the way I think you will. If you come, plan some time to pray. You'll know what to pray for when you stand there. He's alive. They're alive. And for the glory of God, we remember.
