Read on Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? In case you ask me privately, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out about a lesson I learned in a journal called Signs of the Times. The highlight of the magazine this month is around Angels. After my read, I’d been intrigue because of the introduction story of a lady named Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross who regard herself as a deist.
While supervising a relief effort for a terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River on the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger just before leaving from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This stranger was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had a lack of time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the period she’d sent that order, the ship had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I need to stop the tale here. Will be continued in Study Angels #2. Have to get the most beneficial weight loss supplements for a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was immediately forgotten, for people were sailing through a tragic scene. The stream was thick with the bloated bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara found the stranger. Night fell and the vessel was enveloped in a heavy fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and notwithstanding herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a dangerous crevasse,” he said. “The captain will not pay attention to me. You must command him to pull back at once!” There was something about the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order without delay. The captain anchored on the opposite side of the river.
At dawn, everyone saw the death they had narrowly escaped. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to look for him in order that they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton believed that an angel had protected the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the long article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a friend to seek for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the opportunity to see.
