Refer to Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ask me in person, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I pointed out about a lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs belonging to the Times. The highlight of this magazine this month concerns Angels. After my read, I had been intrigue by the introduction story of a lady named Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross who regard herself like 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 unfamiliar 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 unwanted passenger on board.
Sorry but I must stop the storyline here. Will be continued in Refer to Angels #2. Have to aquire the best weight loss pills to a friend. It’s an fitness 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 toward the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara saw the stranger. Night fell and the vessel was enveloped in a heavy fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and regardless of herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a lethal chasm,” he said. “The captain won’t take notice of me. You must command him to pull back at once!” There was something in regards to stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order at once. The captain anchored on the other 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 search for him so they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton thought that an angel had saved the Mattie Bell.
Despite of the big article, I loved the way the story illustrates unseen guardian angels inside our lives. Okay, need to go with a pal to seek for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the time to see.
