Good morning everyone! I hope you're doing well this morning. =) Things are good here. Grateful for a new day to share God's love with others.
So I was asked by @DWDavis to share how we found the rock and anything interesting about it.
So, I love taking walks in nature and there's a trail going around the lake we went to yesterday. I was hoping we would get to walk the trail, but we never have before so I wasn't counting on that happening. My husband said let's walk the trail this time, which is so different for him since he's not a fan of some forms of nature and paranoid a bit about them with the kids. Lol. (Snakes, spiders, alligators, etc). I understand being cautious of course, but fear can't always hold you back.
There are bridges and benches along the way on the trail. We stopped on one of the bridges and my youngest daughter spotted this rock! She said can I keep it? Lol. She loved it!
My husband saw the rock and said-see how easy it is to find a house when you're not actually looking for it??
The other rocks we found were just painted a couple pretty colors. The first rock we have done says "Grace Wins" on it with a cross, pink and purple being the background colors we chose to use. I will share a picture of that one soon. =)
So, that has been the start to our rock adventure. We will be doing this much more often now since it's something we all loved doing! Even the youngest ones were looking for rocks after we found the first!

So people paint rocks and just leave them?

That sure is a nice looking rock Jennifer.
I am so glad you had a lovely day out.
I love this rock idea I really do praise God
I wonder what the best paint for these rocks are to use that is weather proof do you know? I might start doing some here.

@Courage7 We like it too. =) Thank you! I have to look into what paint will work on them so they don't get ruined by the weather. The first one we did we just used permanent markers for it.

I found one at our mailbox one day. It had a heart and the word love on it.

@Juliaacv Yes it was so nice and surprising since my husband doesn't usually want to go on it. =)

Sounds like fun. My son was thinking about painting rocks. I do not think he has found any that he thinks are good enough to paint, yet.

We found lots of rocks last year but not that many this year.
