After the September 11
attack, one company invited the remaining members of other companies who had
been decimated by the attack on the Twin Towers to share their available office
space.
At a morning meeting, the
head of security told stories of why these people were alive… and all the
stories were just about the 'LITTLE' things.
The head of a company
survived 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 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 in 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 most
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.
And 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.
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.
In the words of Rhonda Byrne,
"Look for the gifts in everything, especially when you are facing what appears
to be a negative situation. Everything that we attract causes us to grow, which
means that ultimately everything is for our own good."
Live life always being
thankful to GOD for every situation, with an attitude of gratitude.
Sometimes
unanswered prayers are the best. You never know what God has in store for you.
Keep praying, you never know where God will lead you.
Have a great weekend!
Have a great weekend!
