Reminder – April is Distracted Driver Month – When you Drive, JUST DRIVE… and Arrive Alive!
Lessons from 9/11, The Annoying Little Things in Life:
by Kranti Gaurav
-As you might know, the head of a major company survived the tragedy of “9/11” in New York 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.
The 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; it just may be Divine Intervention!
