The Little things

[Sowelu]

Got this in an email. I liked it, thought others might too.

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 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 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 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.
  
  
• 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. If you delete this, it's okay: God's Love Is Not Dependent On E-Mail

[glow=blue,2,300]Oh wow, I was just talking about this sort of thing with a lady at work today.

I left for work on time this morning. It was raining and I knew I would have to drive slower than normal. I drove about 10 minutes the way I normally go and then saw State Police had the road completely blocked. I had to turn around - go 10 minutes back towards my house then take another route to work which was under construction.

When I made it through the construction there was a car accident.

When I made it through the accident, there were more police blocking the road. All 3 major news stations had their vans and news cameras out.

When I made it through the second detour, I was only 15 minutes away from the prison and I got stuck behind a tractor!

I couldn't believe ALL these things seemingly working against me! Then I feared something "bad" was happening at work and all these things were working WITH me rather than against me.

I finally got to work and everything was fine. I was relieved, but one of the ladies and I were thinking about these "Little" things.

I heard later that the reason for all the road closures was because a man had robbed a store in the area with an AK-47. We found it quite ironic that in the near future I will be processing him. I joked that I would say, "You made me late to work the other day."
