Angels

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 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 their 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 her the cow instead. Things aren't always what

they seem."

Sometimes this 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.

Think about this:

Should you find it hard to get to sleep tonight;

Just remember the homeless family who has no bed to lie in.

Should you find yourself stuck in traffic; don't despair.

There are people in this world for whom driving is an

unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work;

Think of the man who has been out of work for the last three months.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad;

Think of the person who has never known what it's like

to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend;

Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week, for $15.00 to feed her family.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away fromassistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror;

Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking "what is my purpose";

Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's

bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities;

Remember, things could be worse. You could be them!!!
