Read on Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ever ask me individually, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I said on the subject of a lesson I learned from a journal called Signs of the Times. The highlight of the magazine this month talks about Angels. After my read, I had been intrigue by the introduction story from a lady named Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross who regard herself like a deist.
While supervising a relief effort for a terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from 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 no time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the time she’d sent that order, the watercraft had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I must stop the storyline here. Will be continued in Study Angels #2. Have to aquire the best weight loss pills to a friend. It is an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was quickly forgotten, for people were sailing via a tragic scene. The river was thick with the bloated bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara found the stranger. Night fell and the vessel was enveloped in a heavy 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 lethal crevasse,” he said. “The captain will not listen to me. You ought to command him to pull back immediately!” There was something about the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order quickly. The captain anchored on the opposite side of the river.
At dawn, everyone saw the death they had narrowly fled from. 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 protected the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the long article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels within our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the chance to see.
