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 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."
He continued,
"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...
Take this little
angel
and keep her close to
you
she is your guardian
angel
sent to watch over you.
