Study Angels
Do you believe in Angels? In case you ask me personally, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out about one lesson I learned from a journal called Signs belonging to the Times. The highlight for this magazine this month talks about Angels. After my read, I was intrigue by 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 of the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger prior to departure from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This unfamiliar 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 boat had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I must stop the story here. Will be continued in Read on Angels #2. Have to get the best diet tablets to a friend. It is an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was immediately forgotten, for they were sailing via a tragic scene. The water was thick with the bloated bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Close to sundown, Clara viewed the stranger. Darkness fell and the vessel was enveloped in a heavy fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and regardless of herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a lethal crevasse,” he said. “The captain will not pay attention to me. You have to command him to pull back at once!” There was something in the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order immediately. The captain anchored on the other 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 find him so they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton believed that an angel had protected the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the long article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels within our lives. Okay, need to go with a pal to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to see.
