Study Angels
Do you believe in Angels? In case you ask me personally, my answer would 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 highlight of the magazine this month talks 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 just before leaving 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 moment she’d sent that order, the ship had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I have to stop the tale here. Will be continued in Study Angels #2. Should get the best diet tablets for a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for people were sailing through a tragic scene. The river 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 observed the stranger. Night 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 interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a mortal crevasse,” he said. “The captain won’t pay attention to me. You must 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 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 look for him in order that they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton believed that an angel had saved the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the big article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels inside our lives. Okay, need to go with a friend to seek for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to see.
