WHY SOME SURVIVED SEPT 11, 2001

The  L I T T L E  Things . 


 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
,
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.

Just a reminder

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by:
holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked,
"
Who would like this $20 bill?"

Hands started going up.


He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you

but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.

He then asked, "Who still wants it?"

Still the hands were up in the air.

Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"

And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.

"Now, who still wants it?"


Still the hands went into the air.


My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.

No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value.

 

It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.

We feel as though we are worthless.

But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you

will never lose your value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you.


The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE.


You are special - Don't EVER forget it.
