Refer to Angels
Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ask me in person, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out about one lesson I learned in a magazine 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 to the terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River from the deck of the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger prior to 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 period she’d sent that order, the watercraft had pulled away with the unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I must stop the tale here. Will be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Need to get the best diet tablets to a friend. It’s an exercise machine.
Okay, so the stranger was immediately forgotten, for people 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. Near to sundown, Clara found the stranger. Darkness fell and the boat was enveloped in a deep fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and notwithstanding herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a lethal chasm,” he said. “The captain won’t listen to me. You have to command him to pull back right now!” There was something in regards to 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 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 in our lives. Okay, need to go with a buddy to seek for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the chance to meet.
