The Little Things
As you might know, the head of a company survived 9/11
because
his son started 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
because of an auto accident.
One of
them missed his bus.
One's car
wouldn't start.
One went
back to answer the telephone.
One had a
child that dawdled and
didn't get ready as soon as he should have.
One
couldn't get a taxi.
The one
that struck me 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.
He 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,
the children are slow getting dressed,
you can't seem to find the car keys,
you hit every traffic light,
don't get mad or frustrated;
God is at work watching over you.
May God continue to bless you
with all those annoying little things
and may you remember their possible purpose.
