What does this mean?

Perhaps you have a memento of something special God did for you. I once heard about a family who had survived a serious car accident and were so thanful that they are all still alive, they took pieces of the wreckage and formed them into a collage. They put it on their wall so that when people asked about it, they could tell of God's miraculous protection. That's really a great idea. Whether it is a gift someone gave you or a picture or plaque, it can be a reminder of God's faithfulness and a conversation-starter for you to tell your story. Maybe someday your grandchildren will ask you, "What does this mean ,Grandma/Grandpa?" And you'll be able to tell them how God answered your prayer.

That's one good thing to remember one incident how God work in their lives. Taking something to be remembered of,for them to realize how great God is. I appreciate their deeds for doing that,not every people who survive from such accidents do same thing as they did. Sometimes,survivors even forgot to thank God,or,they maybe thank God from the start and then forget the next day how they we're saved. I will also do the same thing if i am in their position. We must thank God whenever we had the chance to thank Him.

Little faith in God cause people to blame God for negative things that happen in their lives. But if we cast everything to Him,we will never question God for our shortcomings. I just wonder why people complain when things went wrong,but never question God when they received blessings more than they need.

This sounds like a good thing. It keeps the gift alive for many years and all those that see it are reminded of the nature of the hanging.

Yes. Sometimes it just feels good to remember the good things that happened associated with that thing or gift whenever you see it.

Since i was baptized in the church, i wear on my neck one silver cross. It reminds me all the time about God. I'm trying to pray and thank as much as i can do it. But it's really a great idea to have something on my wall, to remind me how God bless all my steps ahead and even if i feel disappointed or sad i have to look my way in the future, not in the past. Thanks for that wonderful discussion :)
