Just Simply Amazing

My uncle sent me this story, I decided to pass it on… here it is:

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rood, 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 teir 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 two angels 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 angels could get a good night’s rest. When the the sun rose 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 farmers wife said, “You helped the first man you went  to and he was rich, he had everything! We don’t have anything and you don’t help us!”  The older angel replied. “Things aren’t as they always seem. 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 food 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… Yesterday is history, Tomorrow a mystery, Today is a gift. (that’s why it’s called the present)
