Stories of Angels: Generosity and Greed in Seraphim Tales
On a particular day, two wandering seraphim decided to take refuge in the abode of a wealthy family. Despite their riches, the hearts of this family were cold and they decided not to offer the guest room of their grand house. Instead, they pointed to a corner in the inhospitable basement as their stay.
While preparing their makeshift beds, the elder seraphim noticed an imperfection in the wall and decided to repair it. Under the inquisitive gaze of the young seraphim, the elder simply said, “Not everything is as it seems.”
The following night, the seraphim chose to seek shelter in the humble home of a couple who, despite their meager resources, received them warmly.
After sharing the modest feast they had, the kind spouses gave up their bed to the seraphim, ensuring them a restful sleep.
At dawn, the seraphim found the couple crying bitterly. Their only cow, whose milk represented their livelihood, had died.
The young seraphim, with a troubled heart, questioned the elder, “How could you let this happen? You helped the first one, who had everything in his favor and took away the most precious thing from this noble family.”
“Not everything is as it seems,” replied the elder seraphim.
“In the mansion, I sensed that behind that wall imperfection, there was a hidden fortune. Given the owner’s selfish nature, I decided to conceal it further. However, last night, while we rested here, the angel of death came for the farmer’s wife. So, I decided to offer the cow in her place.”
And so, not everything is as it seems.
This tale of wandering seraphim teaches us that appearances can be deceiving. Generosity and greed are put to the test, revealing the true essence of human hearts. Be inspired by this story and adopt generosity in your daily life.
