Refer to Angels
Do you believe in Angels? In case you ask me privately, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out about a lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs belonging to the Times. The highlight of the magazine this month is related to Angels. After my read, I was intrigue because of 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 from the deck of the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger just before leaving from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This stranger was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had a lack of time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the time she’d sent that order, the vessel had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I should stop the story here. Will be continued in Study Angels #2. Have to get the best weight loss supplements to a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for they were sailing through a tragic scene. The stream was thick with the bloated bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara observed the stranger. Darkness fell and the boat 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 is going to be in a deadly chasm,” he said. “The captain is not going to take notice of 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 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 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 preserved the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the huge article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels inside our lives. Okay, need to go with a pal to look for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the chance to see.
