Refer to Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ever ask me personally, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out about a lesson I learned in a magazine called Signs of the Times. The spotlight for this magazine this month concerns Angels. After my read, I had been intrigue by the introduction story from a lady named Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross who regard herself to be 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 no time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the moment she’d sent that order, the vessel had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I must stop the story here. Will be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Have to get the top diet tablets for a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for they were sailing via a tragic scene. The stream was thick with the bloated bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. Close to sundown, Clara found the stranger. Darkness fell and the boat was enveloped in a heavy 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 will be in a deadly crevasse,” he said. “The captain is not going to listen 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 quickly. 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 supposed that an angel had saved 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 pal to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the chance to meet.
