¡¡Our school was the oldest building in town and in the winter when the wind was really blowing, Benny and I used to count the shingles sailing past the classroom window.wow account
Mr. Duncan, our principal, was getting on in years too,but he could still see pretty good, and if he ever caught you staring out the window he had you in after school working on his favorite problem ¨C how many shingles would blow off the school roof in one year if twenty-five went each week day and ten on Sundays?
wow accountBenny and I never had the same answer, and Snubs Cooper, whose Pop was Chairman of the School Board, usually got enough shingles to cover every house in town. But after Mr. Duncan had checked our answers, he used to tell us that what matters is not what flies past the window but what sticks inside the head.
¡¡¡¡¡°You¡¯re doing just fine, boys,¡± Mr. Duncan would say,wow accountgiving his specs a little polish, ¡°but next time it¡¯ll be blinkers for the lot of you.¡±
¡¡¡¡Sometimes if the shingles hadn¡¯t been sailing that day but we just happened to land in his office anyway, Mr. Duncan pulled open the top drawer of his desk which was the place he kept his strap. wow accountBut instead of what we expected, he would slip us a handful of sunflower seeds to chew on while he gave us one of his pep talks.

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 guestroom. wow accountsInstead 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.wow accountsThe 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. wow accountsSince 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 outcome is always to your advantage. wow accountsYou might not know it until some time later...
