Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ever ask me in person, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned on the subject of one lesson I learned in a journal called Signs of the Times. The spotlight of the magazine this month talks about Angels. After my read, I’d been intrigue via 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 one terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River on the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger prior to 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 vessel had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I must stop the tale here. Is going to be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Have to aquire the best diet pills for a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon 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 came across the stranger. Darkness fell and the vessel was enveloped in a heavy fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and regardless of herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a dangerous crevasse,” he said. “The captain won’t pay attention to me. You ought to command him to pull back right now!” There was something in the 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 in order that they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton thought that an angel had preserved the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the long article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels inside our lives. Okay, need to go with a friend to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the chance to see.
