Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ever ask me individually, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out about one lesson I learned in a journal called Signs of the Times. The spotlight for this magazine this month talks about Angels. After my read, I was intrigue via the introduction story of a lady named Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross who regard herself as 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 just before leaving 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 boat had pulled away with the unwanted 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 beneficial diet tablets to a friend. It is an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for people were sailing through a tragic scene. The water was thick with the bloated bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. Close 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 notwithstanding herself, started 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 listen to me. You have to command him to pull back right now!” There was something about the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order immediately. 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 find him in order that they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton supposed that an angel had saved the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the big article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a friend to look for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the chance to see.
