A Simple Stepping Stone




Just a simple stepping stone to the stairs of our new home. Why was this stone chosen to set at the bottom of the steps to the kitchen door? Did it have significance to the owners who put it there? It is quite thick, rectangular in shape, and pretty large so it had to come from some interesting place to be chosen to be the only stone that graces this little stoop. I would love the know the reason they picked it out and brought it to this house to serve all those who enter in. Service is the calling of this roughly hewn gray rock. But oh what a service it will perform for us when we move in. I can't wait to honor it's calling by daily stepping from the little stairs of the stoop onto this special stone. Or stepping upon it's roughly hewn surface as I happily make my way to the kitchen door.
