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 ,  
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.
