Study Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ever ask me individually, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out about a lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs of the Times. The spotlight for this magazine this month is related to Angels. After my read, I had been intrigue via the introduction story from a lady named Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross who regard herself as a deist.
While supervising a relief effort to the terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from the deck of 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 moment she’d sent that order, the ship had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I should stop the storyline here. Will be continued in Read on Angels #2. Need to get the best diet pills for a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was quickly 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 in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara found the stranger. Night fell and the boat 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 is going to be in a dangerous crevasse,” he said. “The captain will not listen to me. You ought 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, everyone saw the death they had narrowly fled from. 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 believed that an angel had saved the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the huge article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels inside our lives. Okay, need to go with a mate to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the opportunity to see.
