Two traveling angels Mood
Friday, August 14, 2009 | An Inspiring story

 
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 outcome is always to your advantage. You just might not  know it until some time later.
