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...

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!
