Study Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ask me privately, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned about a lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs of the Times. The highlight of this magazine this month talks about 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 for one terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River on the deck of the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger just 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 no time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the time she’d sent that order, the watercraft had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I should stop the tale here. Is going to be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Have to aquire the most beneficial diet pills 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 puffed up bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara found the stranger. Darkness fell and the ship was enveloped in a thick fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and in spite of herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a fatal crevasse,” he said. “The captain is not going to take notice of me. You have to command him to pull back immediately!” There was something about 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, every person saw the death they had narrowly fled from. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to look 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.
Despite of the long article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a pal to search for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to meet.
