Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ever ask me in person, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out on the subject of a lesson I learned in a magazine called Signs of the Times. The spotlight of the magazine this month is around Angels. After my read, I was intrigue because of the introduction story from a lady named Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross who regard herself to be a deist.
While supervising a relief effort for one terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from the deck of the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger right before leaving from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This unfamiliar person was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had no time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the moment she’d sent that order, the watercraft had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I have to stop the tale here. Is going to be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Have to get the most effective diet tablets to a friend. It is an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was immediately forgotten, for they were sailing via a tragic scene. The river was thick with the bloated bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Close to sundown, Clara noticed the stranger. Darkness fell and the vessel was enveloped in a thick fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and in spite of herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a deadly chasm,” he said. “The captain is not going to pay attention to me. You ought to command him to pull back immediately!” There was something concerning stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order quickly. The captain anchored on the other side of the river.
At dawn, every person saw the death they had narrowly escaped. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to search for him so 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.
In spite of of the long article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels inside our lives. Okay, need to go with a mate to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the time to see.
