This is a story about two travelling angels.This one will make you think twice.keep reading till you get to the bottom of the page.
Two travelling 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 big 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 are not 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 was their source of 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 that he wouldn't find it.
Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife but i gave him the cow instead.
"THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM".

what moral lessons can one obtain from this amazing story.many a times, God is the one to blame for certain things that happen if not in our lives, then in our friends or relatives lives.
you may be right though, but have you sat down to think carefully, i mean critically about why some things do happen the way they are.adopt the habit of seeing every "failure" or situation in your life as an opportunity to attain greater things to come.
For His word says "everything works together for good for them that love God."
i urge you brethren therefore to keep trusting in almighty God, so that in due time ,He will lift you up.1 Peter 5:5-6
GOD RICHLY BLESS YOUhappy

Great story,, I so often hear the 'why would God let....happen?'

this is a great reminder of how God can see things we may not know and have reasons we therefore cannot see,,,
