Study Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ever ask me privately, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I said about one lesson I learned in a journal called Signs of the Times. The highlight of 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 on the deck on 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 little time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the moment she’d sent that order, the boat had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I should stop the story here. Is going to be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Need to get the top weight loss supplements for a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was quickly forgotten, for people were sailing through a tragic scene. The river was thick with the bloated bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara noticed the stranger. Darkness fell and the watercraft 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 interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a dangerous chasm,” he said. “The captain won’t listen to me. You ought to command him to pull back immediately!” There was something concerning stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order quickly. 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 considered that an angel had protected the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the big article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels inside our lives. Okay, need to go with a friend to look for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the chance to see.
