The Hope of the World

The day started out bright and early cause today was the BIG walk, 15.5 miles and hoping for no rain. Well God showed up in a BIG way!

👉🏽 Sun ☀️ was out!

👉🏽Visited churches along the way. I think about all that entered but walked away without hope. Praying for those lost and alone.

👉🏽 Praying together with my bride as we walk the Camino is one of our favorite times.

👉🏽 One store we passed had a ‘free hugs’ sign. No one was standing there. I asked Brett if I could stand there and give free hugs. She said I could but that she was leaving 🤣.
I got the message!

👉🏽 We finished the day with a pilgrims mass. The country is predominately Catholic, but as I finished the day and sat by the bench i saw the sun setting as it lit up the cross on the church. Was reminded that Jesus is the hope of the world.

The ending of a wonderful day.
