One day, survivors from the 9/11 tragedy had a small gathering. On that day, they shared the reasons why they were still alive. They were alive because of small, insignificant interruptions.
One man was late for work because his son started kindergarten that morning.
For another guy, it was his turn to bring donuts for the staff.
Another guy put on a new pair of shoes that morning. But along the way to work, he developed a blister. So he stopped by a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.
And that's why he was still alive.
Interruptions are not so bad after all.
Friend, next time you're annoyed because you're stuck in a traffic,or you have to answer a phone call,or you have to repair your car, or any other little thing that may annoy you...
Thank God for that Gift of Peace, the Gift of Pause.
Remember: Where you are now is exactly where God wants you to be...
