Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? In case you ask me in person, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out on the subject of one lesson I learned in a magazine called Signs belonging to the Times. The spotlight of the magazine this month concerns 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 to be 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 right 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 boat had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I need to stop the story here. Will be continued in Read on Angels #2. Should get the top weight loss pills for a friend. It is an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was shortly forgotten, for people 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 came across the stranger. Night 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 lethal chasm,” he said. “The captain is not going to take notice of me. You have to command him to pull back at once!” There was something about the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order immediately. The captain anchored on the opposite side of the river.
At dawn, everyone saw the death they had narrowly escaped. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to search 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 protected the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the long article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a mate to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to meet.
