"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

sparky0107

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.

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 outcome is always to your advantage. You just might not know it
until some time later...

A paltry 5p today, but it all adds up!

Hi kirsty1971,

Don't worry about it just being 5p, it does soon add up. It adds up to a massive 40000.00+

Sparks - I know you're busy, but I was wondering if it's not too much trouble, if you could calculate an average based on the number of active potters that have posted their totals.

I think it's an awesome total, and it seemed to me reading through the posts that a lot of people (me included) hadn't potted as much as they'd have liked - so I think it's a doubly impressive achievement considering that a lot of people have struggled this year.

A massive pat on the back to everybody who took part, and an especially big hug to both Sue and Sparks for all your hard work.

You guys are awesome. :T

bridgetkate

A very warm welcome to MSE also gemmack27 and bridgetkate, it's always so lovely, promising too, when people make SPC their first post, well done on a great choice and a wonderful journey.

I do hope your DH is soon much better, LC 2. X

I'll leave sparky with the job he'll love you for Kerfuffle!!! :rotfl:It shouldn't be too bad for him though as he's everyone's names down on the SS. Darn good job or he'd have a headache.

Another question for you, sparky, is that me you were referring to in the "wise" piece above??;) It certainly is true in life though, keep open-minded folks, all the time.

Well folks, what a marvellous day all. I'm just about shattered and am off to bed. Sleep well all and wake refreshed tomorrow.
