Read on Angels
Do you believe 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 in a journal called Signs belonging to the Times. The spotlight for this magazine this month is around Angels. After my read, I had been 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 to the 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 stranger was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had little time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the moment she’d sent that order, the vessel had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I need to stop the tale here. Will be continued in Study Angels #2. Need to get the most beneficial weight loss pills for a friend. It is an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for people were sailing through 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 found the stranger. Darkness fell and the ship was enveloped in a deep fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and in spite of herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a fatal chasm,” he said. “The captain will not pay attention to me. You ought to command him to pull back right now!” There was something in the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order without delay. 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 in order that they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton thought that an angel had protected the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the long article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels inside 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 chance to meet.
