Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ever ask me personally, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out on the subject of one lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs belonging to the Times. The spotlight of the magazine this month is around Angels. After my read, I was intrigue by 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 a terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger right 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 vessel had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I have to stop the tale here. Is going to be continued in Study Angels #2. Need to get the most effective weight loss pills for a friend. It is an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was quickly forgotten, for they 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. Near to sundown, Clara noticed the stranger. Darkness fell and the boat 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 interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a deadly chasm,” he said. “The captain will not pay attention to me. You have to command him to pull back right now!” 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 find him so they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton supposed that an angel had protected the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the big article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to search for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the opportunity to see.
