Refer to Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ask me in person, my answer would be Yes.
In my previous post I said about one lesson I learned from a journal called Signs belonging to the Times. The highlight for this magazine this month is about Angels. After my read, I was 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 for a terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from 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 no time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the moment she’d sent that order, the watercraft had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I have to stop the tale here. Will be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Have to get the most effective diet pills to a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was quickly forgotten, for they were sailing through a tragic scene. The river 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 saw the stranger. Night fell and the vessel was enveloped in a deep 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 crevasse,” he said. “The captain is not going to take notice of me. You must command him to pull back at once!” 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 fled from. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to look for him so 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.
Despite of the big article, I loved the way 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 much time we haven’t had the time to see.
