Study Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? In case you ask me individually, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned on the subject of a lesson I learned from a journal called Signs belonging to the Times. The spotlight of the magazine this month is related to Angels. After my read, I had been intrigue by the introduction story of 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 prior to leaving from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This unknown person was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had little time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the time she’d sent that order, the boat had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I need to stop the tale here. Is going to be continued in Study Angels #2. Need to get the best weight loss supplements to a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was immediately forgotten, for they were sailing via a tragic scene. The water was thick with the bloated 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 in spite of herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a fatal crevasse,” he said. “The captain is not going to pay attention to me. You have to command him to pull back right now!” There was something about the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order at once. The captain anchored on the opposite side of the river.
At dawn, every person saw the death they had narrowly escaped. 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 thought that an angel had saved the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the long article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels within our lives. Okay, need to go with a mate to look for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to meet.
