As you might remember, the head of a company survived 9/11
because his son started kindergarten;
Another fellow was alive
because it was his turn to bring in doughnuts
One woman was late
because her alarm clock didn’t go off in time
One was late because he was 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 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 and
That’s why he is alive today.
Now, when I am stuck in traffic,
Or 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 frustrated;
It may be just that
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.
