*Things Are Not Always
What They Seem*
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 from assistance; 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, what is my
purpose? Be thankful, there are those who didn't live long
enough to get the opportunity to search for their answer.
Should you find yourself the victim of
other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities;
remember, things could be worse: You could be them!!!
Should you decide to send this to a friend; You
might brighten someone's day!May your heart fill with peace
always and forever...
