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 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 might not know it until some time.
