Read on Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? In case you ask me in person, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned about one lesson I learned in a magazine called Signs belonging to the Times. The spotlight of the magazine this month is around Angels. After my read, I had been intrigue because of 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 for a terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from 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 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 extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I should stop the story here. Is going to be continued in Read on Angels #2. Should get the top diet tablets to a friend. It is an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was quickly forgotten, for they were sailing via a tragic scene. The stream was thick with the puffed up bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara noticed the stranger. Darkness fell and the boat was enveloped in a deep fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and regardless of herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a lethal crevasse,” he said. “The captain will not listen to me. You must command him to pull back immediately!” There was something in regards to 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, everybody 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 supposed that an angel had preserved the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the long article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a friend to search for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to meet.
