Read on Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ask me privately, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned on the subject of one lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs of the Times. The spotlight of the magazine this month concerns Angels. After my read, I’d 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 to the terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River on the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger prior to departure from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This unknown person 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 boat had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I should stop the storyline here. Is going to be continued in Read on Angels #2. Have to aquire the most beneficial weight loss pills to a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was immediately 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. Night fell and the watercraft was enveloped in a heavy fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and regardless of herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a fatal crevasse,” he said. “The captain will not take notice of me. You have to 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, everyone saw the death they had narrowly fled from. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to search for 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 inside our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to search for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the chance to see.
