There are so many things to be grateful for on this path. So many in each day.
A few days ago after 28 blistering kilometres along a busy highway, transport trucks blowing by, and busy people going somewhere important in a hurry, we sat on an ancient stone wall in a wee town to consult.
My feet told me stop. My hot head told me keep going 1.2 more kilometres to our 'destination'. Into this delerious haze and out of the long hot rays of the late afternoon sun came first a voice, then a gesture waving us back, then a person.
A lovely French pilgrim fellow we had had a meal with two days earlier saw us pass by, was worried for us, and came out of the place he was staying to make sure we went no further.
Saved yet again.
Sometimes saying thank you isn't enough, but it is all I have.
So I will say it as often as I can.

Like i said before.. i have never been more proud of the two of you! I cry everytime i read your posts.. You two are SO incredibly strong, passionate and true to yourselves and one another its just remarkable. I am very glad for you that your friend stopped you and told you to come rest with him.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you are being well protected from the sun and that you have plenty of water along your way so you dont have to carry so much!
Each day you are THAT much stronger, and I admire that! I am inspired by you so much.. i am pushing myself each day to do more than I think i can. Usually while emily naps i somewhat rest... WELL.. my garden is planted, flower beds are coming along, lawn tractor is in use, meals are made, emily is happy despite the teething.
Thank you!
