As you might know, 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 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..

         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 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.

         Pass this on to someone else, if you'd like.
         There is NO LUCK attached.
         If you delete this, it's okay:
         God's Love Is Not Dependent On E-Mail !!  
           (that's the cool part)

Thanks Vincent,
These people have stayed on my heart and mind since the tradgedy; it has not left my mind how ordinary the day was and the ordinary things people were doing when they were called home to heaven.
