I was so pleased to see this scripture on the Fisherman's Memorial at Gloucester, Massachusetts. This memorial has been there for many years. I wonder if they were just now making it if they would include the scripture. I hope so. This is what Psalm 107, 23-24 says: "They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep."
Here are photos we took of the memorial. It's hard to see in this photo, but it appears at the bottom of the plaque. I think this is a wonderful scripture that needs no explanation.

ReplyDeleteCharlotte,
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you...I wonder if the memorial were to be put up today would any scripture be inclueded? Sadly, I think not. I am so glad that it IS still on this one!

I am so glad you were able to go and see this wonderful memorial. The scripture that they used was soo perfect. I am afraid that it wouldn't have happened if it were done in today's times, but glad that one is there still for all to see. Have a wonderful day. Blessings to you, Debbie

It is a beautiful scripture. I think you are right to wonder if that would be on a memorial that was built today.
