Read on Angels

Do you have confidence in Angels? If you ask me personally, my answer could possibly be Yes.

In my previous post I mentioned about one lesson I learned from a journal called Signs belonging to the Times. The spotlight of the magazine this month is about Angels. After my read, I’d been intrigue because of the introduction story from a lady named Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross who regard herself like a deist.

While supervising a relief effort for one 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 unfamiliar person was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had no time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the time she’d sent that order, the ship had pulled away with the surplus passenger on board.

Sorry but I should stop the story here. Will be continued in Read on Angels #2. Have to aquire the most beneficial weight loss pills to a friend. It is an fitness machine.

Okay, so the stranger was immediately 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 ship was enveloped in a thick fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and in spite of herself, began to pray.

The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat is going to be in a fatal crevasse,” he said. “The captain will not take notice of me. You ought to command him to pull back immediately!” There was something concerning 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 escaped. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to look for him in order that they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton considered that an angel had saved the Mattie Bell.

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