WHEW! Finally I am finished decorating for Christmas!! It's a job!! This year we did as one of our friends told us that she had done.. Same things.. just different places and used in different ways.. Concept of "changing things around" Works great.. Yes, it's the same stuff.. but it just looks so different from years past by adding just a few new things.. and placing them in different places, different rooms, or using them with a different collection of items.. CUTE! .... WELL, COMPLETELY SUITS US, THANKFULLY... AND THANKFULLY WE ARE DONE! But to tell you the truth, I would be fine just to make JESUS a birthday cake and.. share a meal and some special time with family.. and call it a day! I must be getting old! LOL!
Two Traveling Angels....... this one will make you think twice!!!!! .. Keep reading to the bottom of the page -- don't stop at the feet (You'll see). Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.
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 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 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 might not know it until some time later...
