There was a man
who was head of security at 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.
All the stories
were just little things. You might know about the head of
the company who 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. He 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 little things.
THAT STILL SMALL VOICE
Have you ever
been just sitting there and all of a sudden you feel like
doing something nice for someone you care for...THAT'S
GOD
Have you ever
been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you to talk to...THAT'S GOD...He wants you to talk to Him.
Have you ever
been thinking about somebody that you haven't seen in a long time and then
next thing you know you see them or receive a phone call from them...THAT'S GOD...there is no such thing as "coincidence."
Have you ever
received something wonderful that you didn't even ask for, like money in the
mail, a debt that had mysteriously been cleared, or a coupon to a department
store where you had just seen something you wanted, but couldn't afford ...THAT'S GOD...He knows the desires of your heart...
Have you ever
been in a situation and you had no clue how it is going to get better, but
now you look back on it...THAT'S GOD...He
passes us through tribulation to see a brighter day..
