Barrantes to Vilanova de Arousa, Spain—Day 15; about 27,600 steps

Proverbs 15 

v. 23  A person finds joy in giving an apt reply—and how good is a timely word!  We weren’t too thrilled to be picking up our packs again this morning.  We had a spot reserved for the evening and expected to meet up with our hosts in the middle of the day.  “They have a car,” said Maurice.  “Maybe they would take our packs to their house.”  Yeah, maybe.  After a good two hours of walking we came to the little chapel in Mouzos where a team welcomes pilgrims.  Debee recognized us at once.  “I’ll be the American who looks like he’s carrying the kitchen sink,” Maurice had told her.  When we got ready to be on our way again, Debee said, “I don’t want to interfere with what you feel you have to do, but we’ll take your packs home if you want.”  A timely word!  What joy!  We accepted.  Thank you, Lord, for the blessing of a timely word.  Please use us to speak such words to others too.
