This was an email forwarded from a friend this weekend and it really made me think…. I hope it does the same for you…. God Bless!
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 donuts.
One woman was late because her Alarm clock didn't go off on 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 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, 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.
I can truly relate to this… When I moved to the 150 acre farm that I rented before moving to Idaho – I did not want to be there, but it was the only thing that I could find. I wanted a cabin in the woods in the middle of nowhere (Surprise – that is where I am living now), but I didn't want to be there. 150 acres with a BEAUTIFUL view – it didn't take me long to appreciate it, but once I met my husband there on the farm when his work crew appeared to work on the silo and I realized why I was where I was WOW!!! I was prepared to grow old by myself. I had enough and I told my girlfriends that the only way that I would get involved ever again was if a man showed up on my porch wearing cowboy boots, said yes ma'am and was like Paster Dan from the movie “Raising Helen”… What were the odds of this happening??? He showed up and I would not trade my hard working ox, Good ‘ole boy, traditional thinking, Christian Family Man, Man's Man, Patriot, Ready to Help Anyone, Heart of Gold Man for ANYTHING!! God is Good!
