Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ask me personally, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned about one lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs of the Times. The spotlight of this magazine this month is about Angels. After my read, I had been intrigue by the introduction story of a lady named Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross who regard herself to be 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 right 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 a lack of time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the moment 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 Study Angels #2. Have to get the most beneficial diet tablets to a friend. It is an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for people were sailing via a tragic scene. The water was thick with the bloated bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara saw the stranger. Darkness fell and the boat was enveloped in a heavy 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 will be in a fatal crevasse,” he said. “The captain is not going to pay attention to me. You must command him to pull back at once!” There was something in regards to stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order immediately. 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 look 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 protected the Mattie Bell.
Despite 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 opportunity to see.
