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 everyone 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.
