(: Two Angels :)

   Two Traveling Angels 
  
  
(this one will make you think twice!)
 Keep reading to the bottom of the page. 
Don't stop at the feet (You'll see).
   
 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 out come is 
always to your advantage. 
You just might not know it 
 until some time later.
   
                                  Oooo 
   Some people           (    ) 
   come into our lives   )  / 
   and quickly go..      (_ / 
   
           oooO                      
             (    )  Some people 
              \  ( become friends 
               \_ ) and stay awhile 
   
 leaving beautiful         Oooo 
 footprints on our        (    ) 
     hearts...                  )  / 
                                  ( _/ 
   ~   
                  oooO                      
                   (    )      and we are
                    \  (       never
quite
                     \_ )        the same 
                      because we have 
                            made a good 
                                 friend!
