Day 2

May 1st, 2013

Brooks

Start: Stanton

Finish: Cleeve Hill

Mileage: 15 miles, was supposed to be 13 but we decided to take an extra little tour we were having so much fun. No, not really, we got mildly lost, but yeah, eventually found our way to Cleeve Hill with little trauma.

So wish I could bring you all into our walk for even just an hour. It’s incredibly scenic, serenely quiet, always picturesque whether walking through a wooded area dotted with thousands of trees covered with buds or climbing to the top of a hill winding our way down the path across pastureland with hundreds of sheep most of them with two or three babies alongside.

Our day was perfect. Gorgeous weather, interesting people. But, the food not so much. I got food poisoning at lunch time which made for an interesting afternoon and sadly a literally nauseating night. But, not to worry, God is faithful, amazing able and extremely gracious. This morning Day 3 and May Day we woke up sheep wandering the streets left to go up on the pastureland on the hills and bright, bright sun, no stomach issues and all body parts still working.

So, here’s some pictures from yesterday…and prayers for you as you walk where you are today.

Really? Is milk still delivered this way?

Often our trail leads right through the mama’s with their babies

One beautiful path after another…

Interesting things to see along the way

The note on the cross says:

The cross reminds Christians of the death of Jesus, a sign of God’s great love for each and every person, but because Jesus rose again, the cross is also a sign of hope for anyone who is suffering.

You are invited to pause here and to name in silence or on a piece of paper a person or situation you would like God to help.

Dear Jesus, help all the people I name and anyone else who is sad or may be suffering today to know that you are with them and love them very much. Amen.
