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 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 just might not know
it until sometime later...
Some people come into our lives and
quickly go...
Some people (become friends) and stay
a while... leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts...
Moral
