Things aren't always what they seem

Two traveling angels

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."

To my parents

This is just to tell my parents how grateful I am to have them and let them know how much they mean to me.

Love you mummy and daddy.You mean the world to me.

Thank you, mummy and daddy
For all the sacrifices made
For every second spent with me
For helping me grow
For the love so unconditional
For the gift of life
For every step u made me take
For telling me right from wrong
For the faith u have in me
For the patience u have
For not letting us know when you were troubled
For not letting any harm happen to us
For always making us happy
For being a friend
For the shoulder to lean on to
For being so understanding
For putting up with our tantrums
For being my strength
For giving me comfort
For giving the warm hugs and loving kisses

Thank you, God
For giving me my mummy and daddy
For making me their child
For being there for us in their form
For every second I spend with them
For making them so perfect and beautiful

Running with Life: An African Proverb

An African Proverb....

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up,
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesnt matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better start running.
