a great cloud of witnesses page 1 by ric gustafson
Charlie Hansen stretched his legs and tried to relax. He noticed the other runners were doing the same routine. This was his first twelve mile race and it was very warm out. He had doubt about being able to finish the race.
The gun went off and he began to run in the middle of a pack. After about three miles, he fell out of the pack because of the heat. He was already thirsty and then he noticed a water station ahead. He stopped under the tent and a grizzled old man handed him a cup of water.
" Thank you" Charlie replied as he quickly drank the water.
" I'm Noah" the old man said as he gave another runner a cup of water. " I'm here to give you encouragement".
Charlie ran out of the tent with renewed vigor.
Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
