The Little Things....

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...
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 was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
because of 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 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.

You can pass this on to someone else, if you'd like.
If you delete this, it's okay...   God's Love is not dependent on e-mail
