A Day of Rest

On Sunday, Oct. 9th, we had a day of rest for body and soul. It was good to stay put for a day and recuperate from all our aches and pains. With almost every step we took, our muscles reminded us of our climb on Mt. Sinai, which was aggravated by the many steps and stairs we needed to go up and down to go anywhere in this hotel.
It was also very good to get together and focus on God's Word and sing and pray together. In this dry and desert country we heard about the biblical significance and the blessings of rain.
We went for a walk to the Red Sea at the Gulf of Aqaba.
We reminisced about our experiences in Egypt. A few more pictures...
