The Little Things

The Little Things

As you might know, the head of a company survived 9/11 because…his son started kindergarten.

Another man 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 person’s…car wouldn’t start.

One went back to…answer the telephone.

One ha 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 The Almighty continue to bless you will all those annoying little things and may you remember their possible purpose.
