The Little Things

The ' L I T T L E ' Things


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 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 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 ,

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.

This type of thing happened to me one time. I was visiting my parents, but needed to get going, as I was supposed to be doing some mystery shops. They kept talking, and I didn't get out till later than I had wanted too. I was a little annoyed, but what can you do when it is your parents. As I drove down the road, I hit a bunch of traffic. It turned out there was an accident up ahead, just at the corner I needed to turn at. Believe me, it was a nasty accident, and this exact thought popped into my mind. My parents were meant to keep me later than I had wanted, or it could have been me!
