Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ask me personally, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned about one lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs of the Times. The spotlight for this magazine this month is around Angels. After my read, I had been intrigue by the introduction story of 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 right before leaving 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 moment she’d sent that order, the watercraft had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I must stop the story here. Will be continued in Read on Angels #2. Have to get the top weight loss pills for a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for they were sailing via a tragic scene. The river was thick with the puffed up bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara viewed the stranger. Night fell and the boat was enveloped in a deep fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and in spite of herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a lethal crevasse,” he said. “The captain will not pay attention to me. You must command him to pull back immediately!” There was something about the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order at once. The captain anchored on the other side of the river.
At dawn, every person saw the death they had narrowly fled from. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to look for him so they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton believed that an angel had preserved the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the long article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels within 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 time to see.
