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 on the subject of a lesson I learned in a journal called Signs of the Times. The spotlight for this magazine this month is related to Angels. After my read, I’d been intrigue via 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 one 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 little time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the period she’d sent that order, the ship had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I need to stop the tale here. Is going to be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Should get the best diet tablets to a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for people were sailing through 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. Close to sundown, Clara observed the stranger. Darkness fell and the watercraft was enveloped in a thick 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 will be in a lethal chasm,” he said. “The captain won’t take notice of me. You have to command him to pull back immediately!” There was something in the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order without delay. The captain anchored on the opposite 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 in order that 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 in our lives. Okay, need to go with a friend to seek for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the chance to meet.
