Things to Ponder
Ponder This
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 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 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 farmers bed, the angel
of death came for his wife. I gave her the cow instead. Things
aren't always what they seem." Sometimes this 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 outcome is always
to your advantage. You might not know it until some time later.
Think about this:
Should you find it hard to get to sleep
tonight;
Just remember the homeless family who has no bed to lie in.
Should you find yourself stuck in traffic;
don't despair.
There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard
of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work;
Think of the man who has been out of work for the last three months.
Should you despair over a relationship
gone bad;
Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love
and be loved in return.
Should you grieve the passing of another
weekend;
Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day,
seven days a week, for $15.00 to feed her family.
Should your car break down, leaving you
miles away from assistance;
Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take
that walk.
Should you notice a new gray hair in
the mirror;
Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to
examine.
Should you find yourself at a loss and
pondering; what is life all about,what is my purpose?
Be thankful, there are those who didn't live long enough to get
the opportunity.
Should you find yourself the victim of
other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities;
Remember, things could be worse. You could be them!!!
Should you decide to send this to a friend;
You might brighten someone's day!
