Read on Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ask me personally, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I said about a lesson I learned in a journal called Signs belonging to the Times. The spotlight for this 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 as a deist.
While supervising a relief effort to the 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 stranger 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 extra 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 is an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for people were sailing via a tragic scene. The river was thick with the bloated bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. Close to sundown, Clara saw the stranger. Night fell and the watercraft was enveloped in a deep fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and notwithstanding herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a fatal chasm,” he said. “The captain will not listen to me. You ought to command him to pull back right now!” There was something in the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order at once. The captain anchored on the opposite side of the river.
At dawn, everybody saw the death they had narrowly fled from. 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 considered that an angel had preserved the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the huge article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to seek for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to see.
