Study Angels
Do you believe in Angels? In case you ask me in person, my answer could be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned about a lesson I learned from a journal called Signs of the Times. The spotlight of the magazine this month is around Angels. After my read, I was intrigue because of 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 for a terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River on the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger just before departure from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This unknown person was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had no time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the time she’d sent that order, the vessel had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.
Sorry but I need to stop the storyline here. Is going to be continued in Study Angels #2. Have to aquire the best diet tablets to a friend. It is an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was immediately forgotten, for people were sailing via a tragic scene. The river was thick with the bloated bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara found the stranger. Darkness fell and the watercraft was enveloped in a thick fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and regardless of herself, began to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a fatal chasm,” he said. “The captain is not going to take notice of me. You have to command him to pull back right now!” 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, everyone saw the death they had narrowly escaped. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to find 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 protected the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the big article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to find prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the time to meet.
