Two Angels
Things aren't always what they seem...
Two traveling angels stopped to spend
the night in the home of a wealthy family.
The family was rude and refused to let
the angels stay in the mansion's guest room.
Instead the angels were given a small space in
the cold basement. As they made their
bed on the hard floor, the older angel
saw a hole in the wall and repaired it.
When the younger angel asked why,
the older angel replied,
"Things aren't always what they seem."
The next night the pair came to rest
at the house of a very
poor, but very hospitable farmer and
his wife. After sharing what
little food they had, the couple let
the angels sleep in their bed where
they could have a good night's rest.
When the sun came up the next morning
the angels found the farmer
and his wife in tears.
Their only cow,
whose milk had been their sole
income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was infuriated and
asked the older angel how she
could have let this happen?
The first man had everything, yet you helped
him, she accused. The second family
had little but was willing to share
everything, and you let the cow die.
"Things aren't always what they seem,"
the older angel replied. "When we stayed in
the basement of the mansion, I noticed
there was gold stored in that hole in
the wall. Since the owner was so
obsessed with greed and unwilling to
share his good fortune, I sealed
the wall so he wouldn't find it."
"Then last night as we slept in the
farmers bed, the angel of
death came for his wife. I gave him
the cow instead.
Things aren't always what they seem."
Sometimes that is exactly what happens
when things don't turn out
the way they should. If you have
faith, you just need to trust that every
outcome is always to your advantage.
You might not know it until some time
later...
Some people
come into our lives
and quickly go..
Some people
become friends
and stay awhile...
leaving beautiful
footprints on our
hearts....
and we are
never
quite the same
because we have
made a good
friend!!
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery.
Today is a gift. That's why it's
called the present!
Live and savor every moment... This
is not a dress rehearsal!
