Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ever ask me individually, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out on the subject of a lesson I learned from a journal called Signs of the Times. The spotlight for this magazine this month is about Angels. After my read, I was intrigue because of 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 from 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 stranger was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had no time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the time she’d sent that order, the boat had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I need to stop the storyline here. Will be continued in Study Angels #2. Have to aquire the top weight loss supplements for a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was quickly 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. Close to sundown, Clara came across 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 is going to be in a deadly chasm,” he said. “The captain will not listen to me. You must command him to pull back right now!” There was something about 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 escaped. 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 supposed that an angel had saved the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the huge article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels within our lives. Okay, need to go with a friend to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to meet.
