Just received this, thought id share ( dont read if offended by god)

One day I happened to call a man on business whom I will probably never talk to again, but this day God wanted me to talk to him.
He 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.
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.


So, 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.




A Tiny Voice Inside

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... He talks to you through the Holy Spirit.

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...

I cannot tell you how many times
one time I left my house went back for something then pulled out of the driveway and went back b/c I realized I forgot my phone or something else and then on the highway I would pass like two accidents and thank God! b/c it could have involved me had I not turned back two or three times

SAME HERE...I was supposed to meet with my lawyer in the WTC regarding a pending lawsuit at the time, but the meeting was cancelled because some of the paperwork wasn't finished. Thank God for tardy lawyers!
