It was exactly this time of year in 1962 that Helen and I, along with John, Stephen, Mark, and Russell, left Atwater, Ohio, to sojourn in the East. Yesterday Helen and I left Pepperell, Massachusetts, and turned westward to return to Ohio-- exactly 46 years later. We arrived in Mount Vernon last night to find our bed set up in a lovely room that is more like a hotel suite, where I'm sitting in a window overlooking a bird/flower garden.
Later today we will begin to 'thaw' and I'm sure we'll take a bit of time to adjust-- after all we're a little bit older than Abraham and Sarah were when they moved a few hundred miles to their west. But God has been in this move- we're 'homeless'- but not really at all-- not even for one day!
Mark set up a facebook thing for me- which I don't pretend to understand yet but already quite a few old (and young) friends have joined. I'll try to close this saga out soon on this blog and get back to pontificating, but today I am simply grateful to Almighty God for His goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men..and all the rest from Psalm 107! Bless you, too!
