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."
"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…
