Study Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? In case you ask me privately, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I said about a lesson I learned in a journal called Signs of the Times. The highlight of this magazine this month talks about Angels. After my read, I had 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 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 stranger 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 vessel had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I have to stop the tale here. Will be continued in Study Angels #2. Should get the top diet tablets to a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was immediately forgotten, for people were sailing via a tragic scene. The stream 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 viewed the stranger. Night fell and the watercraft was enveloped in a deep 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 deadly chasm,” he said. “The captain won’t pay attention to me. You ought to command him to pull back immediately!” There was something in the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order immediately. The captain anchored on the other side of the river.
At dawn, every person 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 thought that an angel had preserved the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the long article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels within our lives. Okay, need to go with a mate to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the opportunity to meet.
