Things Aren’t Always What They Seem
Two angels were traveling and, weary from foot travel, stopped at the home of
a family who had found good fortune. The angels clothes were worn and their
appearances were unkempt.
The family looked at the outer appearances of the angels, judged them harshly
and refused the angels a guest room. Instead, the family gave the angels access
to a cold, old basement in an abandoned building on their property.
As they prepared their beds from the garbage on the basement 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.”
At the end of another day’s travels, the angels came to the home of a poor
farm family. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels
sleep in their bed where the angels could have a good night’s sleep.
When the sun came up in the morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife
in tears.
Their only milking cow, which was their only livestock and their main income,
was dead in the field.
The younger angel became angry demanding of the older angel, “How could you
let this happen? The first family had everything and you fixed their wall. This
family has little, was willing to share everything and you let their cow die.”
The older angel replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem. When we stayed
in the basement, I noticed gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner
was so unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t
find it.”
The older angel continued, “Last night when we slept in the bed of the farmer
and his wife, the angel of death came for his wife. I told him to take the cow
instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”
Sometimes this is exactly what is going on when things don’t turn out the way
we think they should.
Just follow love and light and trust that every outcome is always to your
advantage. You might not realize it is so until much later.
Blessings of Love and Light,
