Two Angels

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."

"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...

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!!

live and savor every moment...
this is not a dress rehearsal!
