L I T T L E things

After Sept. 11th, 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: The 'L I T T L E'
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 bringdonuts. 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 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. 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; 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. Pass this on to someone else,
if you'd like.
There is NO LUCK attached.
