Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? In case you ask me privately, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I said about a lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs of the Times. The spotlight for this magazine this month is related to 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 to be 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 departure from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This unfamiliar person 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 ship had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I need to stop the story here. Is going to be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Need to get the best diet pills to a friend. It is an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for they were sailing through 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. Near to sundown, Clara found 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 notwithstanding herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a dangerous crevasse,” he said. “The captain is not going to listen to me. You ought to command him to pull back immediately!” There was something concerning stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order without delay. The captain anchored on the other side of the river.
At dawn, everybody saw the death they had narrowly escaped. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to search for 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 preserved the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the long article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a pal to look for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to see.
