Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night
In the home of a wealthy famly
the family was rude and refused to let the angels
stay in the mansions'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
"Thngs 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 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 thir 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 farmer's bed
the angel of death came for his wife.
I gave him 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 but there
Just might be Angels in your mist....Author Unknown
