Study Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? In case you ask me personally, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned about a lesson I learned in a magazine called Signs belonging to the Times. The spotlight of this magazine this month talks about Angels. After my read, I had been intrigue because of 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 on 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 no time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the time 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 Read on Angels #2. Need to get the top weight loss pills to a friend. It is an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was quickly forgotten, for they were sailing via a tragic scene. The water was thick with the puffed up bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Close to sundown, Clara came across the stranger. Darkness fell and the watercraft 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 is going to be in a lethal chasm,” he said. “The captain will not 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 immediately. The captain anchored on the opposite 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 search for him so they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton considered 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 in our lives. Okay, need to go with a mate to seek for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the chance to see.
