Read on Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ask me individually, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I said about a lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs belonging to the Times. The highlight of this magazine this month talks about Angels. After my read, I had been intrigue by the introduction story of 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 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 period she’d sent that order, the vessel had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I should stop the story here. Will be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Have to aquire the most effective diet tablets to a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was shortly forgotten, for they were sailing via 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 noticed 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, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a lethal crevasse,” he said. “The captain will not take notice of me. You have to command him to pull back immediately!” There was something in 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, everyone saw the death they had narrowly escaped. 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 considered that an angel had saved the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the long article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in 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 opportunity to meet.
