The Little Things......

I received this in an email on Monday. It is a perfect explanation of how I feel about life's little twists and turns. I'm reminded of it each morning when we are running a little behind or I have to run in the house for something or I can't find something or the hot water doesn't want to be hot or just about anything that happens I know it is for a reason.

This is the email and I couldn't say any better:

• 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 takeTime 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; 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.
