There is so much to do, a city to take, land to conquer, an inheritance to claim, yet they take time to pause and prepare in advance for questions children will ask. What God has done is too great to allow memories to fade, or the next generation not to know. The stones are set up to provoke couriosity, to lead to a question, so that then the parents can give their children "an answer for the hope that is in them."
How have you done this in the past? How have you (or could you) prepared a circumstance or setting to provoke a question so that you can tell what God has done.
How else could we set up stones so that "people may know?"

We set up a number of memorial stones today such as church anniversary celebrations, wedding anniversary, birthdays, family reunions, graduations, etc. Even screaming "I'm Debt Free" on the radio. Anything to remember what God has done in and through us and a chance to look back and see how He continues to bless us.
The markers do not always have to be physical item such as pile of rocks. My father that past on a long time ago. Left notes for my mother to continuing on the running the ranch. In those notes, he left reminders of how God had bless him and the continues of the ranch. These notes became a vitial part of my mother success and always pointed her to God when difficult times came.
Several years ago at a women's retreat, the speaker drew a word picture about these stones. She encouraged us to think of them as anchors, placed around our foundation so that when the storms came we could hold fast to what God had already done for us.
