Refer to Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ever ask me individually, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I said about a lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs belonging to the Times. The highlight of this magazine this month is related to Angels. After my read, I’d been 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 for one terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River on the deck on 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 period she’d sent that order, the boat had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I need to stop the story here. Is going to be continued in Read on Angels #2. Have to get the best weight loss pills for a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was immediately forgotten, for people were sailing through a tragic scene. The water was thick with the puffed up bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara saw the stranger. Night fell and the vessel was enveloped in a heavy 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 mortal chasm,” he said. “The captain won’t listen to me. You must command him to pull back immediately!” There was something about 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, every person saw the death they had narrowly fled from. 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 believed 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 much time we haven’t had the chance to meet.
