Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? In case you ask me personally, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out on the subject of a lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs of the Times. The spotlight for this magazine this month is around Angels. After my read, I was intrigue by the introduction story of 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 on the deck of 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 little time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the time she’d sent that order, the ship had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I must stop the storyline here. Is going to be continued in Read on Angels #2. Need to get the best weight loss pills for a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was shortly forgotten, for they were sailing through 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. Close to sundown, Clara observed the stranger. Darkness fell and the vessel was enveloped in a deep fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and notwithstanding herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a lethal chasm,” he said. “The captain is not going to take notice of me. You have to command him to pull back immediately!” There was something in the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order immediately. The captain anchored on the opposite 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 look 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.
Despite of the big article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a pal to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the chance to see.
