Study Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ask me privately, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned about a lesson I learned from a journal called Signs of the Times. The highlight for this magazine this month is about Angels. After my read, I was intrigue because of 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 from the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger prior to 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 should stop the story here. Will be continued in Study Angels #2. Should get the best diet tablets for a friend. It is an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was quickly forgotten, for they were sailing through a tragic scene. The water 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 found 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 in spite of herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a mortal crevasse,” he said. “The captain is not going to listen to me. You must command him to pull back at once!” There was something concerning 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 look for him so they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton considered that an angel had protected the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the long article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to seek for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to meet.
