Study Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you 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 belonging to the Times. The spotlight for this magazine this month talks about Angels. After my read, I had been intrigue by the introduction story from 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 on the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger just before departure from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This stranger was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had no time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the period she’d sent that order, the boat had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I need to stop the storyline here. Is going to be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Need to get the most beneficial diet tablets for a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon 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 saw the stranger. Night fell and the vessel was enveloped in a heavy fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and in spite of herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a deadly crevasse,” he said. “The captain won’t take notice of me. You ought to command him to pull back right now!” There was something concerning stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order quickly. The captain anchored on the other 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 search 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 big article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a pal to search for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the time to see.
