Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ever ask me in person, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out about one lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs of the Times. The highlight of this magazine this month is related to 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 for one 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 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 should stop the story here. Is going to be continued in Read on Angels #2. Have to aquire the most effective diet pills to a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was quickly 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 in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara saw the stranger. Darkness fell and the boat was enveloped in a deep 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 deadly crevasse,” he said. “The captain won’t pay attention to me. You must command him to pull back at once!” There was something concerning stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order immediately. 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 find him in order that 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 big article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to look for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the chance to see.
