Read on Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ever ask me individually, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out about a lesson I learned in a journal called Signs of the Times. The highlight for this magazine this month talks about Angels. After my read, I was 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 one terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River on the deck of the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger just 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 boat had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I must stop the tale here. Will be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Should get the most effective diet tablets to a friend. It is an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for people were sailing via a tragic scene. The water was thick with the bloated bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Close to sundown, Clara came across the stranger. Night fell and the watercraft was enveloped in a thick fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and regardless of herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a fatal crevasse,” he said. “The captain won’t pay attention to me. You ought to command him to pull back at once!” There was something in the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order immediately. 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 believed that an angel had saved the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the big article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a mate to search for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the opportunity to see.
