Small things

Got this nice email sometime ago. I am a strong believer in this theory. There were many instances ...

The day was September 11, 2001. Many people perished. But, the head of a company survived
because his son started going to kindergarten that day.

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
my guardian angel 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;
May be just that
Someone is watching over you.
May Love continue to find you
With all those annoying little things
And may you remember their possible purpose.

For many of us, the God and the guardian angel have to work overtime - can't take their eyes off me even for a minute ! So, let us help them and listen to their gentle hints ...
