Have you ever gotten upset over sitting in traffic? Missing an appointment? Being late for dinner engagement?
While frustrating, maybe, just maybe God's a part of that.
Maybe, just maybe, God is in the "little" things of our lives.
I read this yesterday:
The head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten.
Another fellows 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 New Jersey Turnpike because of an auto accident.
One of them missed his buss.
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.
One man 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 bandaid and that's why he is alive today.
So, maybe, just maybe, the next time you are stuck in traffic, or miss an elevator, or turn back to answer a ringing telephone and all of the other little things that annoy you, think to yourself, that maybe, just maybe, that is exactly where God wants you to be at that very moment.
And maybe, just maybe, the next time your morning seems to be going wrong and the kids are slow in getting dressed, and you can't seem to find the car keys, and you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated. For maybe, just maybe God is at work watching over you.

Last month, I was on my way to work at 7:30 in the morning and there was a huge bug in my car. It was pretty loud and looked like a giant bee and had a big stinger. All I know is that I had to pull over and get it out right then!! A few minutes later I was on the road again, and there was a bad car accident that had just happened. Coincidence? I think not.
