Thought for the Day 9/17/2021

Friday Tale - Little Things 

As you might remember, 9/11 - some survived .... because...

* As you might remember, the head of a company he took his son to kindergarten first.

* 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,

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.

You too be patient;
strengthen your hearts,
for the coming of the Lord is near.
~ James 5:8
