Refer to Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ask me privately, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I said on the subject of a lesson I learned in a journal called Signs of the Times. The spotlight of the magazine this month is related to Angels. After my read, I had been intrigue via 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 of the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger prior to departure from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This unfamiliar person was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had no time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the moment she’d sent that order, the ship had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I have to stop the story here. Is going to be continued in Study Angels #2. Should get the best weight loss supplements to a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was immediately forgotten, for people were sailing through a tragic scene. The water was thick with the bloated bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara found 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 is going to be in a deadly chasm,” he said. “The captain won’t pay attention to me. You ought to command him to pull back at once!” There was something in the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order without delay. The captain anchored on the opposite 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 search for him so they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton thought that an angel had protected 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 friend to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the opportunity to meet.
