LITTLE Things
The 'L I T T L E' thi ng s that saved the life of people from the tragedy of 9/11.
- As you might know, the head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten.
- Another fellow was alive because it washis turn to bring donuts.
- One woman was late because heralarm clock didn't go off in time.
- One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpikebecause 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 toanswer 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.
- T he 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.
