Study Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ever ask me personally, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned on the subject of one lesson I learned in a magazine called Signs belonging to the Times. The highlight for this magazine this month is around Angels. After my read, I’d been 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 for one terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River on the deck on 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 a lack of time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the moment she’d sent that order, the ship had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I need to stop the story here. Will be continued in Read on Angels #2. Need to get the top diet tablets to a friend. It is an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon 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 in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. Close to sundown, Clara noticed the stranger. Darkness fell and the watercraft was enveloped in a thick 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 dangerous chasm,” he said. “The captain won’t listen to me. You must command him to pull back immediately!” There was something concerning 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 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 within our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to search for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to see.
