 Read to the bottom of the page -- don't 
  stop at the feet (You'll see). 


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

                                  friend!! 


  Yesterday is history. 
  Tomorrow a mystery. 
   Today is a gift. 
  That's why it's called the present! 


  I think this is special...live and savor every 
  moment... This is not a dress rehearsal!
