Psalm 125: 1 - 2.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore.

Chapter 9.

Everyone was in a celebratory mood as they milled around the room. The table was overloaded with pot pies, shoo fly pies, apple pies, and sandwiches. There were more snacks and desserts than they could possibly eat. There was more food than Kate had ever seen at one time.

Maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, Kate thought, as she examined the overflowing table. She had thought her whoopie pies would be good offering, but they were barely a speck in all the bounty.

The knitting circle ladies definitely had a lot to celebrate, and luckily for her, they were focusing today on Jeremiah's release and a new quilting project, rather than on her pathetic attempts to knit.

“Kate, what do you think of this color?” Lillian shoved some squares of cloth under her nose. Kate leaned back to get a better look.

Before Kate could answer, the elderly Maria leaned over to her. “You've done so much for this little group. I can't thank you enough.”

Kate felt her face redden as Maria beamed at her as if she had just performed an amazing feat. “Maria, I didn't do anything. The police did all the work.”

“Jah, but who got the police to keep looking into the case?” Abigail raised a brow and smiled knowingly. “Our secret sources revealed that they saw you go into the police station.”

“You mean your friend at the deli?” Kate asked, which caused half of the other ladies to burst out into giggles. Seeing Abigail’s sheepish smile, she guessed herself right. The deli was right across from the station, so in hindsight Kate should have been more careful. A woman in Amish clothes walking into a police station would certainly stand out.

“It is a shame your memories aren't as sharp as your mind, Kate,” Miriam said cheerfully. “You must have a lot of interesting stories locked away in there.”

“Oh Miriam, shush.” Maria scolded the woman with a light swat to her arm. Even so, she her eyes smiled while she was giving her stern frown of discipline. Everyone was relieved to have Jeremiah home. “Such manners.”

“Sorry, Kate.” Miriam gave a joyous smile, and looked at the doorway impatiently. “But goodness, where is Beckie? She's making a habit of being late.”

“Be patient with her,” Maria admonished gently as she started to go through the scraps of cloth. “Jeremiah only made it home last night. Now behave yourself and help sort these squares. This quilt isn't going to make itself.”

Kate smiled as Maria pulled the ladies into order, assigning tasks. It was a relief to be working on a new project today. While she couldn't promise perfection, even she could stitch two pieces of cloth together with reasonable success. It made a lot more sense to her brain than the series of curling and counting. She
