Read on Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? In case you ask me privately, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned about a lesson I learned in a magazine called Signs of the Times. The spotlight of this magazine this month is about Angels. After my read, I was intrigue because of the introduction story from 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 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 a lack of time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the period she’d sent that order, the watercraft had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I should stop the story here. Will be continued in Read on Angels #2. Should get the most beneficial diet tablets to a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was quickly forgotten, for they were sailing through 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 viewed the stranger. Darkness fell and the ship 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 interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a dangerous chasm,” he said. “The captain is not going to pay attention to me. You have to command him to pull back immediately!” There was something in regards to 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, every person saw the death they had narrowly escaped. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to find him so they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton thought that an angel had saved the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the big article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels within 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 meet.
