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 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 at
their bed where they could have a good night's rest.
When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the
farmer's wife in tears.
Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the barn.
The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older how could
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 yet 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
something stored in that hole in the wall.
Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share
his 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 run 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.
Some people
come into out lives
and quickly go..
Some people become friends
and stay awhile..
Leaving beautiful footprints
on our hearts..
and we are never quite the same
because we have made a good friend!!
Yesterday is history!
Tomorrow a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why its called the present!
I think this is special.. live and savor every
moment.. This is not a dress rehearsal!
Take this little angel
and keep her close to you
she
is your guardian angel 
sent to watch over you
