"What Things Have You Witnessed That Appeared Bad And Then Perhaps Turned Out To Be NOT So Bad After All?'

Two Traveling Angels
By: Author Unknown

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 were 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. You just need to trust that
every outcome is always to your advantage. You just might
not know it until some time later...

"When Did You Last get What You Expected from Life without Knowing How Or Why?"

Is Packaging Important To You?
By: Author Unknown

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college.
For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a
dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford
it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs
that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the
morning of his graduation, his father called him into his
private study. His father told him how proud he was to have
such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He
handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but
somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and
found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's
name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his
father and said, "With all your money, you give me a
Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.

Many years passed, and the young man was very successful
in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful
family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought
perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since
that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements,
he received a telegram telling him his father had passed
away and willed all of his possessions to his son. He
needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and
regret filled his heart. He began to search through his
father's important papers and saw the still-new Bible, just
as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the
Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car
key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with
the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car
he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation
and the words... "PAID IN FULL."

How many times do we miss blessings because they are not
packaged as we expected?

"If You Could Only Select One - Wealth, Success Love - Which Would You Select"

Wealth, Success and Love
By: Author Unknown

A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with
long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not
recognize them.

Then she said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be
hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?" they asked.

"No," she said. "He's out."

"Then we cannot come in," they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him
what had happened. So he said, "Go tell them I'm home, and
invite them in!"

The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go
into a house together," they replied.

"Why is that?" she wanted to know.

One of the old men explained. "His name is Wealth," he
said pointing to one of his friends, and pointing to
another one he said, "This man is Success, and I am Love."
Then he added, "Now, go and discuss with your husband which
one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her
husband was over-joyed. "How nice!" he said. "Since that's
the case, let us invite in Wealth. Let him come in and fill
our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "Why don't we invite Success?"

But their daughter was listening from the corner of the
room. She jumped in with her own suggestion. "Wouldn't it
be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with
love!"

The wife agreed. "Then let us heed our daughter's advice,"
said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite Love in to
be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one
of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest." Love got
up and started walking toward the house. Then the other two
also got up and followed him.

Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success, "I only
invited in Love, as you directed. Why are you all coming in?"

The old men replied together, "If you had invited only
Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed.
However, since you invited Love... wherever he goes, we go
with him... To Find out how you can select the right spells in to your life go to:

I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before
the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to
fulfill today. I am important. My job is to choose what
kind of day I am going to have.

Today I can complain because the weather is rainy, or I
can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.

Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money, or I
can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my
purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.

Today I can grumble about my health, or I can rejoice that
I am alive.

Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me
when I was growing up, or I can feel grateful that they
allowed me to be born.

Today I can cry because roses have thorns, or I can
celebrate that thorns have roses.

Today I can mourn my lack of friends, or I can excitedly
embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.

Today I can whine because I have to go to work, or I can
shout for joy because I have a job to do.

Today I can complain because I have to go to school, or
eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of
knowledge.

Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do
housework, or I can feel honored because the Lord has
provided shelter for my mind, body and soul.

Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And
here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.

What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what
kind of day I will have!

What Will your Day Look Like? What If You Had New Choices Everyday In Everyday because of The New innovations That are being created every day!

Are You Open Minded? Or Closed Minded?
Are You A Wealth Magnet? Or Do You Attract Garbage?
Are You seeking to change things in your life?
