Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ever ask me in person, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I said about one lesson I learned in a magazine called Signs of the Times. The highlight for this magazine this month is about Angels. After my read, I’d been 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 for a terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River on the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger just before leaving from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This unfamiliar 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 must stop the storyline here. Is going to be continued in Read on Angels #2. Have to aquire the best diet tablets for a friend. It’s an fitness 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 toward the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara saw the stranger. Darkness fell and the ship was enveloped in a thick fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and notwithstanding herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a deadly chasm,” he said. “The captain won’t take notice of me. You must command him to pull back right now!” There was something concerning stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order immediately. The captain anchored on the other 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 so they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton considered that an angel had preserved the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the big article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels inside our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to look for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to meet.
