A friend of mine, who knew we were walking the Camino last year, asked that we remember her daughter and son in law who were trying to have a child but who were having great difficulty bringing a child into this world. WE carried this intention in our hearts, and when we got to Cruz de Ferro in the middle of a blizzard, we placed our rockfor their intention. TOday I received this note from my friend:



Dear

I wanted you to be among the first to know that my daughter, and her husband, Brian, are nowthe proud parents of James [last name removed by moderator] -- a happy and healthy baby boy.

Both are doing well.

When it was 'safe' to ask them the name they had chosen for the baby -- when you have IVF/multiple ultrasounds there are no surprises -- she said they'd chosen James. I asked her if this had been one of her 'baby names' meaning a name long ago secretly chosen.

Sarah replied that she and Brian were sitting together a day or so ago and suddenly she just thought 'I want to name the baby James' . . . she told Brian and he immediately agreed. They had never considered James as a name for the baby before.

I do not consider this choice a coincidence. It's a testimony to the miracle of prayer.

Please know how grateful I am for your prayers -- especially on your pilgrimage.


May James be a bright light for our world! Keep him in your prayers pilgrims!

I remember the day we got to Cruz de Ferro..it was really blizzard conditions with high winds..we were very concerned about the weather conditions..had to stick to the road...and it had not been plowed and was icy...but we were determined to fulfill our Promise! I am so happy that his family has been so blessed!

Awesome! A beautiful story just perfect for the Holiday Season. Hoping we will all pause and think of those people/things/events we are thankful for. Maybe one day this baby James will walk his own Camino.

Yes, the birth naming reminded me of Luke's Narrative and the naming of "John"...and, indeed, fitting for the season! Keep James in prayer.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Thank you for this story of love. The power of prayers. Miracles do happen. God Bless Baby James and his family. Have a Feliz Navidad, y que la luz de Dios alumbre su camino.
