The ' L I T T L E ' Things

I got this in an email and it really put my day in perspective.  Had to share on my blog.  Hope you enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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 in donuts.

One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time.

One was late beacuse of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike beacuse of an accident.

One of them missed the bus.

One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.

One couldn't get a taxi.

The one that struck me was a 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's why he's alive today.

Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing phone.....All of 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.
