Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ask me privately, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out on the subject of one lesson I learned in a magazine called Signs of the Times. The highlight of the magazine this month talks about Angels. After my read, I’d been intrigue by 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 on the deck of the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger just before departure 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 period she’d sent that order, the vessel had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I must stop the story here. Will be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Have to aquire the most beneficial weight loss pills 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. Near to sundown, Clara came across the stranger. Night fell and the watercraft was enveloped in a thick fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and regardless of herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a mortal chasm,” he said. “The captain is not going to take notice of me. You must command him to pull back at once!” 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 preserved the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the long article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in 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 chance to see.
