From all the fine responses we’ve gotten for our week focusing on the family, I’m guessing that you will enjoy this piece I wrote for the excellent Touchstone Magazine twenty years ago. I was often a lonely kid at school, but in the summer it was impossible for me to be lonely, because there were my cousins all around. Heck — we even knew a lot of our cousins’ cousins we weren’t related to, and we knew who was whose cousins among the kids in the neighborhood and the town. I am deeply grateful to God for my cousins, though I don’t see them very often now.
We’re about to travel 740 miles to our cottage in Nova Scotia, so we’d appreciate your prayers for a safe trip!
We think of our archive as a little treasure trove. Our paid subscribers have on demand access to the entire of Word & Song, many hundreds of entries. For everyone else, there’s always plenty to see here, as well. We hope that all of our readers will revisit and share our posts with others as we continue our mission of reclaiming — one thing at a time — the good, the beautiful, and the true.
