annoying things?

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 did not 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 did not get ready as soon as he should have.
One could not get a taxi.
The one that stuck 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 drug store 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
AMEN.
