Think About This...
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 trafficlight, don't get mad or frustrated; God is at work watching
over you.
Doubtful? Think about this:
After Sept. 11th, one company invited the remaining members of
other companies who had been decimated by the attack on the Twin
Towers to share their available office space. At a morning meeting,
the head of security told stories of why these people were alive......
and all the stories were just 'little' things.
As you might know, the head of the company got in late that day
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 missed his bus.
One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.
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.
May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things
and may you remember their possible purpose.
