“He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord.” ­ — Psalm 148:14

We rejoiced when our daughter Amy with her husband Brandon and two of our grandchildren Kate and Connor moved back to our area about a month ago. Brandon’s work had taken them to Massachusetts and Maryland over the past four years. Those places seemed like the far country. But now they’re back home in Auburn and it’s so good to have them near again.
