Two angels traveling as mere mortals
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 upset
and asked the older angel
how could you have let this happen?
The first man had every thing ,
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 would n'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 as they appear
Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things
don't turn out the way we think they should
If you have faith,
you just need to trust
that every out come is always to your advantage
You just might not know it until some time later ...
