Study Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ever ask me in person, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out on the subject of a lesson I learned from a journal called Signs of the Times. The spotlight of this magazine this month is related to Angels. After my read, I’d been intrigue via the introduction story of a lady named Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross who regard herself like a deist.
While supervising a relief effort to the terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger prior to 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 moment she’d sent that order, the boat had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I have to stop the story here. Is going to be continued in Read on Angels #2. Should get the most effective weight loss supplements to a friend. It is an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was quickly 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 toward the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara observed the stranger. Darkness fell and the ship was enveloped in a deep 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 interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a dangerous crevasse,” he said. “The captain won’t listen to me. You have to command him to pull back at once!” There was something about the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order without delay. 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 find 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 huge article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels inside our lives. Okay, need to go with a pal to search for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the chance to meet.
