And, with such good imagery stirring memories from long ago. Being separated from "home" is sometimes tough, and I remember wanting so badly to be home while at my first week of summer camp. It was almost too good to be true when I saw my ride home on Saturday morning, but I had also learned a lot in that short time away. Wow, what a surprise to find your devotion in our inbox!

Perhaps the joy also describes the ecstacy of our heavenly home arrival! Your G’m & Grandpa read with gratitude your picture words and felt the yearning of a ten-yr-old and the Isrealites.

Traviler's aid was able to get in touch with my parents, tickets were bought, and a flight home alone made. I enjoyed Europe, but home in Indiana was paradise.

I can only imagine the joy and fulfillment the Israelites felt in their return, knowing that God had been faithful to His word and their cries. Keep up the good writing!
