Study Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ever ask me individually, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I said on the subject of a lesson I learned from a journal called Signs of the Times. The spotlight of this magazine this month talks about Angels. After my read, I was intrigue by the introduction story of 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 of the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger right 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 a lack of time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the moment she’d sent that order, the watercraft had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I need to stop the tale here. Is going to be continued in Study Angels #2. Should get the best weight loss supplements for a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon 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. Near to sundown, Clara saw the stranger. Darkness 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, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a mortal chasm,” he said. “The captain will not take notice of me. You ought to 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 opposite side of the river.
At dawn, everybody 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 supposed that an angel had saved the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the big article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a friend to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to see.
