Father

A long grand walk under sunny, warm skies today for 24 km to the little village of Trabadelo.  Much of the morning was spent walking through the hills and vineyards of the Bierzo region.   After lunch in Villafranca del Bierzo, I began the long steady climb up O'Cebreiro. The Camino follows between the highway and the Valcarce river.  Thankfully with it being Sunday, there was not much traffic. 

There is a lot of beauty to behold.  The Father has done himself proud in these fertile hills and rich valleys.  Listening to the rolling river gently cascade as it gurgles along was sweetly consoling and delightfully encouraging.  To praise the Father and thank him for such blessings is not so difficult.  This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad! 

Happy Father's Day!
