Refer to Angels

Do you believe in Angels? If you ask me in person, my answer could be Yes.

In my previous post I said on the subject of a lesson I learned in a journal called Signs belonging to the Times. The highlight for this magazine this month talks about Angels. After my read, I had been intrigue via the introduction story of 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 on the deck of the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger right before departure 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 watercraft had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.

Sorry but I have to stop the tale here. Is going to be continued in Study Angels #2. Have to get the best weight loss pills to a friend. It is an fitness machine.

Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for they were sailing via a tragic scene. The water was thick with the puffed up bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Close to sundown, Clara viewed 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 regardless of herself, began to pray.

The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a lethal crevasse,” he said. “The captain will not take notice of me. You ought to command him to pull back at once!” There was something in regards to stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order quickly. The captain anchored on the other side of the river.

At dawn, every person 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 considered that an angel had protected the Mattie Bell.

In spite of of the big article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels inside our lives. Okay, need to go with a mate to look for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how long we haven’t had the chance to see.
