Read on Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? In case you ask me individually, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I said about one lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs belonging to the Times. The highlight for this magazine this month is around 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 as a deist.
While supervising a relief effort to the terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River on the deck on 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 little time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the period she’d sent that order, the ship 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. Have to aquire the most beneficial diet tablets to a friend. It is an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was quickly forgotten, for they were sailing via 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. Close to sundown, Clara found the stranger. Night fell and the vessel 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 will be in a mortal crevasse,” he said. “The captain won’t pay attention to me. You ought to command him to pull back at once!” 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, 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 buddy to search for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the chance to meet.
