~Where God wants me~
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 ,
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.

Very interesting thoughts! I like it!! Things happen for a reason, it would seem!

Thanks for posting this here for us Diane. It's a really good perspective to keep in our minds! Hugs

Have you ever been delayed and when you finally go going, came across an accident that you might have been in time for without your delay? There are things we don't see as well because our delay prevented proof. The trials we suffer here probably do have purpose but we still need that "way to go, girl" sometimes. I think good things wait around the corner for us as well. I have been at the bottom of a mood and have a friend pay an unexpected thanks, for something I didn't even know had much meaning, and lift my spirit up. Most of the people at DS have thus far shown bravery in the face of their problems and the abundant spirit to reach and boost up others.
