Refer to Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ask me individually, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out about a lesson I learned in a magazine called Signs of the Times. The highlight of the magazine this month talks 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 for one 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 unfamiliar person 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 watercraft 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. Need to get the best weight loss pills to a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was immediately forgotten, for people were sailing via a tragic scene. The stream was thick with the puffed up bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara viewed the stranger. Darkness fell and the ship was enveloped in a deep fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and notwithstanding herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a deadly crevasse,” he said. “The captain won’t take notice of me. You have to command him to pull back at once!” 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 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 saved 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 pal to search for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to see.
