Read on Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ever ask me individually, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out about one lesson I learned in a journal called Signs belonging to the Times. The highlight for this magazine this month is related to Angels. After my read, I was 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 for one terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from the deck of the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger right before departure from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This stranger was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had a lack of time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the moment she’d sent that order, the vessel had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I should stop the story here. Will be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Have to aquire the most beneficial weight loss supplements for a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was shortly forgotten, for they were sailing via a tragic scene. The stream was thick with the puffed up bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara noticed the stranger. Night fell and the ship was enveloped in a heavy fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and notwithstanding herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a lethal crevasse,” he said. “The captain is not going to pay attention to me. You must command him to pull back at once!” There was something in the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order at once. 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 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.
In spite of of the long article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels within our lives. Okay, need to go with a mate to look for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to meet.
