little ebenezers...Thus far has the Lord helped us

"Come Thou Fount" was one of the songs we sang at our wedding. There is a line in it about "Here I raise my Ebenezer". This is talking about a pile of stones Samuel(7:12) raised after God meet him. I have been tempted to erect a pile of stones to remind myself how God meets me and is commited to breaking my cold heart and pulling me back to himself. I don't really think I have the time to keep this up, but maybe it will be a cyber ebenezer.
