Letter from Larry

Good Morning Everyone:

THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM

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.

FRIENDS ARE ANGELS WHO LIFT US TO OUR FEET WHEN

OUR WINGS HAVE TROUBLE REMEMBERING HOW TO FLY .

May God Bless and keep you and yours!!!
