Wednesdays Realization
Good Morning Friends,
?
The message an story are simple; don't sweat the small stuff, and in reality most of it is small stuff. I thought about many of the things listed in the story and how I have reacted to similar things previously. I have a regular schedule that I follow every morning. The only difference now is when something changes my schedule, I realize its for a reason and that I will arrive at the right time.? I have been able to do this because I realize that everything is not truly in my control and some Things Happen For a Reason. And in most cases for our benefit. I hold you find it useful and realize that disruptions happen, and we need to be flexible in handling them in our own lives.

The LITTLE Things

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.
The 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; God is at work watching over you.
May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things - and may you remember and appreciate their possible purpose

Honey, I Found Your Golf Ball
?
A man staggers into an emergency room with a concussion, multiple bruises, two black eyes and a five iron wrapped tightly around his throat. Naturally, the doctor asks him what happened. "Well, it was like this," said the man. "I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole, we both sliced our balls into a pasture of cows. We went to look for them, and while I was rooting around, noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end. I walked over and lifted up the tail, and sure enough, there was a golf ball with my wife's monogram on it-- stuck right in the middle of the cow's butt." "That's when I made my big mistake." "What did you do?" asks the doctor. "Well, I lifted the cow's tail again and yelled to my wife, "Hey, this looks like yours!" "I don't remember much after that!"?
