Study Angels
Do you believe in Angels? In case you ask me privately, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out on the subject of one lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs belonging to the Times. The highlight of the magazine this month is about 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 as a deist.
While supervising a relief effort to the terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River on 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 unknown person was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had little time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the period she’d sent that order, the boat had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I must stop the story here. Will be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Should get the most beneficial weight loss supplements to a friend. It is an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was quickly forgotten, for they were sailing via 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. Close 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 notwithstanding herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a dangerous chasm,” he said. “The captain is not going to listen to me. You have to command him to pull back immediately!” There was something about 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, every person saw the death they had narrowly escaped. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to search for him in order that they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton considered that an angel had preserved the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the huge article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels within our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to search for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the chance to meet.
