NOW AND FOREVER
Lord, I need your help today. Things aren't just what they ought to be. I've blundered thru and made mistakes - No end in sight that I can see. And I dread each new tomorrow, Even cling to yesterday; 'Though I'm told each new beginning Opens up a better way.
Lord, in Your all-caring wisdom, Do You have a plan for me? Will these trials and tribulations Clear my view and set me free? For I know all creatures matter In this broad and complex life. Each of us contributes something 'Though our days seem filled with strife.
Lord, I think I've found the answer With Your guidance from above. We can overcome our problems If we hold on to Your love. So, I'll face today with courage Holding tight to Faith's strong gleam. Yesterday is just a memory And tomorrow's still a dream.
I'm sure you've all been annoyed about little things thoughout the course of your day that adds to your stress level. Hopefully, this story that I'm about to share will give you a different perspective. Hope you like it. God Bless!
**************
I heard a story of a man on business whom I will never know, but I know God wanted me to hear his story. He was head of security at a company that had invited the remaining members of a company who had been decimated by the attack on the Twin Towers to share their office space. With his voice full of awe, he told the stories of why these people were alive and their counterparts were dead. All the stories were just little things...You might know about the head of the company who got in late that day because his son started kindergarten. Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts. The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning. He 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. So, 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.
May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things.
