Refer to Angels

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

In my previous post I pointed out about a lesson I learned in a journal called Signs belonging to the Times. The highlight of the magazine this month is about Angels. After my read, I had been intrigue via 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 right 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 no time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the moment she’d sent that order, the vessel had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.

Sorry but I have to stop the story here. Will be continued in Read on Angels #2. Have to aquire the most beneficial diet pills for a friend. It’s an fitness machine.

Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for people were sailing through a tragic scene. The water 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 watercraft was enveloped in a heavy fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and notwithstanding herself, started to pray.

The stranger’s voice interrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a lethal chasm,” he said. “The captain will not listen to me. You must command him to pull back right now!” There was something in the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order quickly. The captain anchored on the other side of the river.

At dawn, everybody 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 believed that an angel had preserved the Mattie Bell.

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