This one will make you think twice!!!!! ......Two travelling
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 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 just might not know it
until some time later...
