Where We've Been

In my devotional reading this morning the scripture was from Deuteronomy 8, a call for God's people to not forget where they came from. That can refer to family heritage, traditions, and places, among other things.

In this post I share some of the places where we have lived. Not all of them are available, but these few help me remember where all God has led us, and also to remember how blessed we are to be where we are now.

I think my favorite memories of visiting are in the house on Park St, when I was little enough to sit at the kid table on thanksgiving. Next time I'm in Flushing I'm going to look for your apartment!

Of course you know that this blog is your family history, much condensed. I remember your being in most of those communities, although I didn't always know when you moved from one place to another within the community.
I think you've moved almost as many times as we have, and I wasn't preaching for most of the years!
