(: 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.
