Refer to Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ever ask me privately, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned about one lesson I learned in a journal called Signs belonging to the Times. The spotlight of this 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 to be 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 departure 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 ship had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I have to stop the storyline here. Will be continued in Study Angels #2. Have 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 through a tragic scene. The river was thick with the bloated bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara noticed the stranger. Darkness fell and the vessel was enveloped in a thick fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and in spite of herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a lethal chasm,” he said. “The captain is not going to pay attention to me. You ought to command him to pull back right now!” 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 fled from. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to find 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 in our lives. Okay, need to go with a pal to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the chance to meet.
