Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ever ask me in person, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned about a lesson I learned in a journal called Signs of the Times. The spotlight for this magazine this month is about Angels. After my read, I was 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 one terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger just before departure from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This unknown person was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had no time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the period she’d sent that order, the watercraft had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I have to stop the tale here. Is going to be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Have to get the top diet tablets for a friend. It is an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was quickly forgotten, for they were sailing through a tragic scene. The water was thick with the puffed up bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Close to sundown, Clara found the stranger. Darkness fell and the watercraft was enveloped in a deep fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and regardless of herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a deadly chasm,” he said. “The captain is not going to pay attention to me. You ought to command him to pull back right now!” 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 find him so 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 huge article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels inside our lives. Okay, need to go with a pal to search for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the time to see.
