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.
