THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM
JUST READ......
Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of awealthy family.The family
was rude and refused to let the angels stayin 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 could you 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...
