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 farmer's bed, 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 happens when things don't turn out the way we think they should. Just trust that every outcome is always to your advantage. You might not realize it until much later.
But both are valuable in their own ways!
Let me add you a Poem :-)
Things in life always start off good seems to be perfect like the way you wish it would
(Things aren't always what they seem)
dreams turn into nightmares things ain't right here it seems you might care but
(Things aren't always what they seem)
you care about one you might think is the one but some things don't add up to the sum cuz
(Things aren't always what they seem)
the wool is pulled over your eyes so your drivein while blind am i losein my mind
(Things aren't always what they seem)
people front in your face and make some when you not at they're place cuz
(Things aren't always what they seem)
but see i'm tryin my best I can't lie I've been stessed
but at one time I was blessed but
(Things aren't always what they seem)
need I say more I feel hurt from the inside to the out side of my core cuz
(Things aren't always what they seem)
I want to be part of a winnin team but don't want to be the one hoggin the gleam but
(Things aren't always what they seem)
what I tell you is true no need to lie i'm not two
sometime things just are not coo cuz
(Things aren't always what they seem)
If you feel me you feel me if you don't then don't!!
