Refer to Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? In case you ask me personally, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I mentioned about a lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs belonging to the Times. The spotlight of the magazine this month is about Angels. After my read, I’d been intrigue by 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 to the terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger right 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 a lack of time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the period she’d sent that order, the ship had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I need to stop the storyline here. Is going to be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Need to get the top weight loss supplements for a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for they were sailing via 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. Close to sundown, Clara saw the stranger. Night fell and the boat 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 fatal chasm,” he said. “The captain will not take notice of me. You have to command him to pull back immediately!” 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 escaped. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to search 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.
Despite of the long article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to search for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to meet.
