Monument to Sir Alan Ball - Valletta Malta
1 Samuel 7:12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”
Each memory stone along the way
Speaks of lives lived in distant days,
They tell of hours, days, years long spanned
Of deeds encountered, met or planned
Embossed with name, birth date and years,
All but forgotten like the tears.
That once were shed upon this spot
Where grief and sorrow now forgot.
Memorials too without a name
Speak there of long forgotten fame;
The faded memory all but gone
It’s structure here now says anon.
Lord, in the memory of my mind
Help me to keep the truth I find
Within the offered bread and wine
Your blood your body to enshrine.
O sacred Ebenezer, here
I call to mind and find you near
As in the hope of every day,
I see anew your holy way.
“Before one can walk as Christ walked, and talk as He talked, we must first begin to think as Christ thought.” ― A A Allen
