Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? In case you ask me privately, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out about one lesson I learned from a journal called Signs belonging to the Times. The highlight of the magazine this month is about Angels. After my read, I had 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 a 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 unknown person was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had a lack of time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the time she’d sent that order, the vessel had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I must stop the tale here. Will be continued in Study Angels #2. Have to get the most effective diet pills to a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for they were sailing via a tragic scene. The water 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. Night fell and the watercraft was enveloped in a deep fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and regardless of herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a deadly crevasse,” he said. “The captain won’t listen to me. You ought to command him to pull back at once!” 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 find him in order that they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton thought 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 friend to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to meet.
