Teaching Brayden to cook

Sometimes there is a reason...

Sometimes there is a reason for bad things happening in your life, or in the life of those you love. Consider 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 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 you think they should.

 

Today's Email - life changes ahead?

Have you ever had a day when luck was on your side? Evidently, today is my day. Yessirree Bob.. it's a lucky day in the Johnson house. How lucky can one person be in one single day? Well just take a look at my email --

 

Today I am told I am lucky enough to be randomly chosen to share $8.2M that a wonderful Saudi Arabian gentleman left in his estate and meant for charity but David Truex has generously decided to share with me (if only I supply him with my banking information...)

 

Today PayPal email tells me I've received a $1000+ payment for an Ebay sale I never made... boy, talk about lucky on that one. I'm one click away from confirming that payment.

 

Today Barclays Premiership Online Email Draw drew MY ticket (which I never even knew about) and yessiree I've won 750,000 GB Pounds. More bank information necessary, but hey... how else will they get it to me?

 

Now what will I do with all this newfound money? Well, maybe I'll take advantage of the gentleman who generously wishes to quickly dispose of land in Costa Rica for just pennies on the dollar. I'm not sure how he heard about me, but there he is, just when I have allllll this money to invest!

 

Of course, now the FOUR emails that confirm I've applied for second mortgages are now out of luck... I don't need a second mortgage with my million$.

 

And, I could undoubtedly DOUBLE my millions by playing at any of the SIX emails I got for online casinos....

 

Won't my husband be happy when he gets home and I tell him how our life has changed by just a few emails....  Maybe he'll want to get lucky too and buy some of those pharmaceuticals I've been offered in EIGHT emails this morning!
