A friend of mine sent me this email the other day, and I had to share... When life is rough, when things aren't going EXACTLY how you think they should, when you're having an 'off' day...
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 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 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 Band-Aid saved his life.
Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone... All the little things that annoy me so much, 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 just be 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.
This all reminds me of one of my new favorite songs…
