As you might remember, the head of a company survived
911 because he took his son to his first day of kindergarten.
Another fellow was alive because it was
his turn to bring donuts.
One woman was late because her
alarm clock didn’t go off in time.
One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
due to an auto accident.
One of them
missed his bus.
One spilled food on her clothes and had to take
time to change.
One’s
car wouldn’t start.
One couldn’t
get a taxi.
The one that struck me most was the man
who put on a new pair of shoes that morning,
took the various means to get to work,
but before he got there, he developed
a blister on his foot
and stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.
That is why he is alive today..
Now when I am
stuck in traffic ,
miss an elevator,
turn back to answer a ringing telephone …
All the little things that annoy me…
I think to myself,
this is exactly where
God wants me to be
at this very moment..
Next time your morning seems to be
going wrong…
You can’t seem to find the car keys,
you hit every traffic light…
Don’t get mad or frustrated;
it may be just that
God is at work watching over you.
****
Dear Readers, may God continue to bless you
with all those annoying little things
and may you remember their possible purpose…
