Study Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ever ask me in person, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I said about a lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs of the Times. The highlight for this magazine this month concerns Angels. After my read, I was intrigue by the introduction story of a lady named Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross who regard herself like a deist.
While supervising a relief effort for a terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger prior to leaving from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This unfamiliar person was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had little time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the period she’d sent that order, the vessel had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I need to stop the storyline here. Will be continued in Read on Angels #2. Have to get the most effective weight loss supplements for a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was immediately forgotten, for people were sailing through 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 found the stranger. Night fell and the watercraft was enveloped in a heavy fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and regardless of herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a dangerous chasm,” he said. “The captain is not going to listen to me. You ought to command him to pull back right now!” There was something about 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, every person saw the death they had narrowly fled from. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to find 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 inside our lives. Okay, need to go with a mate to seek for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the time to meet.
