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 pointed out on the subject of one lesson I learned from a journal called Signs of the Times. The highlight of this magazine this month is around 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 like 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 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 period she’d sent that order, the watercraft had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I must stop the tale here. Will be continued in Study Angels #2. Have to aquire the top weight loss pills for a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for people were sailing via 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. Near to sundown, Clara found the stranger. Night fell and the watercraft was enveloped in a heavy fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and regardless of herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a deadly crevasse,” he said. “The captain is not going to listen to me. You ought to command him to pull back immediately!” There was something about 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, everyone 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 thought that an angel had saved the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the huge article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in 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.
