Read on Angels
Do you believe in Angels? In case you ask me in person, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I said about a lesson I learned in a magazine called Signs of the Times. The highlight of this magazine this month is about Angels. After my read, I was intrigue by 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 one terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from the deck on 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 unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I should stop the story here. Will be continued in Read on Angels #2. Have to aquire the top diet pills for a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for people were sailing through a tragic scene. The river was thick with the puffed up bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara found 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 in spite of herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a fatal crevasse,” he said. “The captain will not pay attention to me. You must command him to pull back immediately!” There was something about the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order at once. The captain anchored on the other side of the river.
At dawn, everybody saw the death they had narrowly fled from. 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 believed that an angel had preserved the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the huge article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels inside our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to search for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to meet.
