Ebenezer Day

I will recount the steadfast love of the LORD, 
the praises of the LORD, 
according to all that the LORD has granted us... 
Isaiah 63:7a

The word Ebenezer is actually a Biblical name meaning "Stone of Help." It was one of the remembrance stones. The story is in 1 Samuel, chapter 7. It also happens to be mentioned in my favorite hymn, "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing." Here I raise my Ebenezer--hither by Thy help I've come.
