Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ask me in person, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned about a lesson I learned from a journal called Signs belonging to the Times. The spotlight of the magazine this month is about Angels. After my read, I’d been intrigue via the introduction story from 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 of the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger prior to leaving from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This unknown 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 vessel had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I have to stop the tale here. Is going to be continued in Read on Angels #2. Should get the most beneficial weight loss pills for a friend. It is an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was shortly forgotten, for they were sailing through a tragic scene. The stream was thick with the puffed up bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara viewed the stranger. Night fell and the watercraft was enveloped in a thick fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and regardless of herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a deadly crevasse,” he said. “The captain won’t pay attention to me. You have to command him to pull back immediately!” There was something concerning stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order at once. The captain anchored on the opposite side of the river.
At dawn, everyone saw the death they had narrowly escaped. 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 considered that an angel had protected the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the big article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a pal to look for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to see.
