Read on Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ever ask me personally, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I said about one lesson I learned in a magazine 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 of a lady named Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross who regard herself like a deist.
While supervising a relief effort for a terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from 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 unknown person was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had a lack of 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 storyline here. Is going to be continued in Read on Angels #2. Need to get the best weight loss supplements for a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was immediately 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 in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara observed the stranger. Night fell and the vessel was enveloped in a thick 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 fatal chasm,” he said. “The captain will not listen to me. You have to command him to pull back immediately!” There was something in the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order without delay. 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 find him so they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton thought that an angel had saved the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the long article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels inside our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the chance to see.
