Not really funny, but cool

Also, this was sent to me so I'm not sure if it's true, but, it's still worthwhile reading
After Sept. 11th,


one company invited the remaining
members of other 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 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 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.
