The beauty of a Tailwind

Today we experienced the beauty of the tailwind- we coasted for miles today! 79 miles completed and we did not even start until 9:30 am.
We realized we were not going to meet our goal in time and the delight of anticipating the next day had waned. There are times to persevere no matter what the cost, but there are also times to stop, so Pecos is the end and we won't make it to the Pacific coast. God tells us there are different times and seasons.
"I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.
Ecclesiastes 3:12 NIV

I have enjoyed this trip and the people we have interacted with on the road and online. We have been able to appreciate how God has made people and communities unique, and delights in differences. We have received so much encouragement and hope we encouraged others as well.
We have a great family and look forward to seeing them again and celebrating special events in their lives. As we finish this journey and go on to another, we hope to do some good for others and live out my life verse:
