In my search for a “real” family, God provided three kinds of healing, while I was growing up and even today. Here are my findings:
Devotion
Memory stones
What do your memories signify? Are they markers of personal history? Are they ghosts who haunt you? Burdens or joys? My memories are all those things, and something else: My memories are like stones that commemorate meetings with God.
Stones are markers of memory and permanence.
