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 on in time.
One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an
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.
After reading this mail..im starting to believe that GOD does exist..ok, mayb not god god, but something up there *where?* which is in charge of our lives..
wait, isnt that more like fate?
argh im confused.. =S
so i guess we should take all the barriers in life positively, and not be a pessimist..=p
like whenever something bad happens, be it you lost your handphone, you fought with your friends/ parents, you had a really tough week, think of it as god's *or whoever/whatever* way of teaching you lessons in life..
and most of the time, those lessons are very important..
i'll learn to be like that. =)
xoxo, yvonne.
