I happened to call on a man whom I didn't know and had not before nor will
ever talk to again. But this day, he felt like talking. He was head of
security of a company that had invited the remaining members of a company who had been decimated by the attack on The Twin Towers to share their
office space.
With his voice full of awe he told me stories of why these people were alive and their counterparts were dead, and all the stories
were just little things. You know, the head of the company got in late that
day because his son started kindergarten. Another fellow was alive because
it was his turn to bring donuts. There were other stories that I hope and pray will someday be gathered and put in a book.
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.
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.
May God continue to bless you with all those annoying things.

Ever wonder why those little annoying side trips, accidents,
distractions and petty chores have to keep interrupting your day?
