"The Little Things"
As you might know, the head of a company survived
9/11 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 elavator,
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; 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.
Have a safe and careful Labor Day weekend.
May God bless all of his children.
