The Sun Comes Up, Its a New Day Dawning! (By Lorraine)

Every day I find myself reliving a moment of the Camino, even now, eight months after we finished the walk.

This picture was one of the most beautiful sun rises we saw. The picture does not really show the magnificence of it. Each cloud was lined with gold and the rays of the sun stretched so far across the sky! I just stood in awe as it slowly changed to a normal sunny sky.

I was so thankful that we got out and on our way in time to see it. Had we been just a few minutes later we would have missed it.

Today I have one of the songs going through my head that  I sang many times on those days as we saw the sun coming up.

It goes like this:

The sun comes up
It's a new day dawning
The earth will sing its song again
Whatever may pass 
and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing 
when the evening comes.

Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before 
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name.

I have to admit that at the end of most days I was too tired to literally be singing, but my heart and soul were still singing praise to God for the strength he gave me each day and for the wonders of his creation that we were blessed to be able to see each day.  We are so blessed!

When I was standing on the top of the magnificent Pyrenees Mountains, and as I watched the sun rise and set, I am sure I heard "the earth singing its song"!

Buen Camino!
