Study Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ask me individually, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I said on the subject of a lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs belonging to the Times. The highlight of the magazine this month talks about Angels. After my read, I was 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 to the terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from 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 time she’d sent that order, the ship had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I have to stop the storyline here. Is going to be continued in Study Angels #2. Should get the top weight loss supplements to a friend. It is an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for people were sailing through a tragic scene. The river 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 vessel was enveloped in a heavy fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and in spite of herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a dangerous chasm,” he said. “The captain will not pay attention to 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, 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 thought that an angel had preserved the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the big article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in 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 time to meet.
