Ron, Millie, Raul, Ekatrina, Radu, Jack, Jeanie, and Debbie G. attended this Outdoors With Jesus hike to Lake Mary. It is an easy hike that kids enjoy, but no dogs allowed.
Every hike we begin with prayer, inviting Jesus in and asking for God’s protection.
We stopped at the highest overlook around Lake Mary. Not very many people on the trail, and we had the place all to ourselves.
Looking at the lake below, we saw people in the water putting up a yellow slackline between two rock islands on the lake.
Ron stood on a rock near the ledge, turning he lost his balance and was beginning to fall.
Several of us were standing close to him, but out of arm's reach and unable to grab him in that split second. One foot was off the ground and he was leaning back, ready to fall backwards on granite rocks below breaking bones.
Suddenly out of nowhere a trail runner comes flying down the trail and grabs his arm, pulling him back to safety. Seconds later the mystery man ran down the trail before we could thank him.
Either God sent a trail runner at that precise second when the trail had few hikers,
or the Lord sent an angel that saved Ron from falling backward off an overlook.
Those who attended the hike believe the mystery man was an angel.
