This is Exactly where He wants You to be at this Very Moment ...

You know I can understand if you wanna blog as there is always this innate desire in all of us to share and let others know what we're doing in our lives be it important or trivial or whatever. I can even understand if you have your own agenda - it's your prerogative, I'm cool with that.

But I've been following some of my fellow linked bloggers and was amused to find hate messages littering their tagboards. Good grief. It's funny enough these people are haters, [again it's their prerogative] but such cowardice? Lol ~ Unbelievable. All these calamities in New Orleans and in Medan - life's too short to go around hating. So much of this world is based on illusion and temporariness (my blog is one of them, gotta admit that much) but at least I write from what's in me.

Anyways I got this email from a colleague . You may have seen it elsewhere but I thought I'd post it here because I find the temporary situational rut, no matter how annoying it gets, can be there for a purpose. Read on.

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 He 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; He is at work watching over you.

May He 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: His Love Is Not Dependent On E-Mail !!
