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 andgels 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 he asked the older angel "how could you have possibly 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 farmer's 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....so if ever something happened, happens and is happening to you always look at the brighter side of life....there's no harm trying yah know!!!
