Study Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ever ask me personally, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I said about a lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs of the Times. The spotlight for this magazine this month talks about Angels. After my read, I’d been 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 to the terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger just before leaving from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This unknown person was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had no time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the period she’d sent that order, the vessel had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I should stop the storyline here. Is going to be continued in Study Angels #2. Should get the best diet pills to a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was shortly forgotten, for they were sailing through a tragic scene. The water was thick with the puffed up bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. Close to sundown, Clara observed the stranger. Night fell and the boat was enveloped in a deep 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 crevasse,” he said. “The captain will not listen to me. You must command him to pull back at once!” There was something concerning stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order at once. The captain anchored on the other side of the river.
At dawn, everyone saw the death they had narrowly fled from. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to look for him in order that they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton believed that an angel had preserved the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the big article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels within our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to search for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to see.
