whatever that happens in life, happens for good??so stop worrying about the
future and forget the past.
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 the 'L I T T L E' things.
As you might know, the head of the company survived 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 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 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 you remember their possible purpose.
