Study Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ever ask me in person, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out about one lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs belonging to the Times. The highlight for this magazine this month concerns Angels. After my read, I was intrigue via 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 on the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger just before departure from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This unknown 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 extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I need to stop the story here. Will be continued in Read on Angels #2. Have to aquire the best diet tablets for a friend. It is an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was shortly forgotten, for they were sailing through a tragic scene. The river was thick with the puffed up bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. Close to sundown, Clara viewed the stranger. Darkness fell and the vessel 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 disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a deadly crevasse,” he said. “The captain won’t take notice of me. You have to command him to pull back right now!” There was something about the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order at once. The captain anchored on the other side of the river.
At dawn, everyone saw the death they had narrowly escaped. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to search for him so 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.
In spite of of the huge article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels within our lives. Okay, need to go with a pal to look for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the time to meet.
