Annoyances...?

Take a minute to let this one sink in. It's worth the read.

Next time your morning seems to be going wrong and the children are
slow getting dressed and you can't seem to find the car keys and you
hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated;praise God
instead because God is at work watching over you.
After Sept. 11 ... I happened to call a man on business that I
didn't know and have not, nor will ever, talk to again. But this day, he
felt
like talking. He was head of security of a company that had invited
the remaining members of a company who had been decimated by the attack
on the Twin Towers
to share their office space. With his voice full of awe he told me
Stories of why these people were alive and their counterparts were dead
....and all
the stories were just 'little' things.

As you might know, the head of the company got in late 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 was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an
auto accident.

One 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.

There were other stories that I hope and pray will someday be
gathered and put in a book.

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.

May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things
and may you remember their possible purpose.

Pass this on to someone else, if you'd like. There is NO LUCK
attached.
