Excerpt from Memorial Stones


On Spur Tree Hill, I got a whiff of something burning. Strange, I didn’t see anything on the roadside being burnt. Where was that smell coming from?

Spur Tree is infamous for accidents to occur…fatal accidents at that. This winding and steep hill can be quite difficult to maneuver and the corners are a little tricky to negotiate. As I got to a deep corner, I prepared to turn the steering wheel. To my shock, horror and dismay, it would not budge! It would not cooperate with me. From then on, I was in a daze. Everything began to happen in slow motion, at least that’s how it seemed to me. The car slowly slid across the road and came to rest at the side of the precipice.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thoughtful, easy read with deep insights of God's faithfulness through hard times
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2020
Memorial Stones is an insightful examination of stark trials and God's faithfulness through all our circumstances. It resonated with me and I found myself saying time and again, that happened to me.
Overall Lona reminds us that this world is full of challenges but when we put our lives in God's hands, stand on the Word and give thanks for everything He has done for us, we will come through the valley of shadow of death and face brighter days ahead. This is an easy read for those who rarely pickup a book and avid readers alike.



5.0 out of 5 stars A truly amazing, inspiring and timely read!

At a time when it is easy to lose faith and hope, Memorial Stones serves as a timely reminder of God's faithfulness and His promises. While reading, I found many relatable experiences and feelings and I was encouraged to remember that God knows, understands and most importantly, loves His children. I was reminded that He will always make a way...even when we lean on our own understanding.

Memorial Stones is the type of book that you will have great difficulty putting down...if only for a minute. I would recommend this book for anyone who needs to be reminded that they are never alone and that God has a plan for all His children, if we will only learn to trust Him.

Book Review - Memorial Stones Vol. 1

Image
  Unveiling the Power of Faith: A Review of 'Memorial Stones: Testimonies of God’s Faithfulness and Provision in Times of Need – Volume 1' .         God Is Good   “God Is Good”- is the greatest understatement EVER!! However,   ‘Memorial Stones: Testimonies of God’s Faithfulness and Provision in Times of Need – Volume 1’  offers a unique perspective, reminding us that He INDEED is profoundly good. This book, serving as a powerful source of inspiration and a beacon of hope, uplifts the spirit with its unique insights.   But first, let us look at the definition of good. While there were numerous definitions, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the ones that stood out to me most were:  of a favourable character or tendency; and  that can be relied on.   Despite these standing out to me, I believe that the definitions fail to express who God truly is. God is just, of high standards, wise, capable, to be desired, worthy, and...

WORDS of ENCOURAGEMENT - GOD'S PROMISES ARE SURE

Image
A promise is a comfort to a fool. Faithful promise mek fool glad - (A faithful promise makes a fool glad). These are popular sayings that we have often heard and maybe even use. This is true to an extent because in our fallen world, most, if not all of us have, at some point in our lives, experienced the pain and hurt of a broken promise. Such a saying issues a caution to those who blindly trust in promises made to us, especially if it known that such persons are unreliable or insincere. It paints a glaring picture of one who sets himself up to be disappointed by another. Ideally, your word should be your bond, and this should be the driving force to guarantee that any promise you make is fulfilled. However, not everyone subscribes to this idea, and so are often guilty of making willy nilly, empty and impulsive promises, without proper thought or a plan of action as to how they will be fulfilled. This often leaves a trail of heartbreak, betrayal, anger and a myriad of other negative em...

Devotional - Guard Your Heart

Image
  Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that’s where life starts. Don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth; avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip. Keep your eyes straight ahead; ignore all sideshow distractions. Watch your step, and the road will stretch out smooth before you. Proverbs 4:23-27 The Message (MSG)         The heart, weighing between 7 and 15 ounces, is one of the smallest organs of the body, yet it has the biggest job. That’s quite a paradox, isn’t it? The heart is at the centre of the circulatory system, beating on average 72 times per minute to pump blood to the tissues of the body, supplying oxygen and other nutrients and removing carbon dioxide and other waste matter. The heart is vital to the efficient functioning of the body and must therefore be healthy in order to maintain and preserve overall health.    Achieving optimal heart health requires getting adequate rest and exercise, avoiding smoking an...

Chapter 2 – Driver…… (An Excerpt from Memorial Stones Vol. 1)

Image
  September 19, 2024 • Lona For God has not given us a spirit of fear…2 Timothy 1:7 As a young woman, one of my dreams was to learn to drive and eventually purchase my own car. I kept the dream at the back of my mind for many years, but finally, in the late 1990’s I decided to take the plunge. Armed with my learner driver “lunatic” licence and the knowledge gained from reading the driving manual, I found myself a driving instructor and embarked on the journey of learning to drive. I was ready to put the theory into practice. My first driving lesson was a lunchtime lesson. At the time I was working at Jamaica Information Service (JIS) on Half-Way-Tree Road. My first mistake was to assume that, as is the custom with most driving instructors, we would head to the National Stadium or some other quiet area to go over the basics for the first lesson. Was I wrong! I was in for a surprise! We proceeded down Half-Way-Tree Road and turned onto Oxford Road in the heavy lunchtime traffic. The ...

Devotional – Dress for Success: Put on the Whole Armour of God

Image
Passage: Ephesians 6: 10 -17  (NIV)  Focus verse:  Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.   (Ephesians 6:11)     The Christian life is a constant battle and so each day, as soldiers of Christ, we are at war with forces of evil, the enemy of our souls. The war is not physical, but spiritual. How do we prepare ourselves for battle? How do we show up? How do we win the fight? By dressing for success, putting on our weapon of warfare, our armour. In the passage above, the Apostle Paul urges Christians to "put on the whole armor of God," a metaphor for spiritual protection against the forces of evil. This armor is not physical but spiritual, designed to shield us from the attacks of the devil and his minions. Let's delve into each piece of this divine armor. The Belt of Truth This is the foundation of our spiritual armor. Truth, as revealed in God's Word, is our belt, holding up the rest of our ...
