Where God Wants Me


One day I happened to call a man on business whom I didn't know, have not
nor will probably ever talk to again. But this day, he felt like talking. 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 me 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. There were
other stories that I hope and pray will someday be gathered and put in a book.


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.


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 ...




Ten Things God Won't Ask


1...God won't ask what kind of car you drove,
He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.


2...God won't ask the square footage of your house,
He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.


3...God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet,
He'll ask how many you helped to clothe.


4...God won't ask what your highest salary was,
He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.


5...God won't ask what your job title was,
He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of our ability.

He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.

He'll ask how you treated your neighbors.

He'll ask about the content of your character.


9...God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation,
He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.


10...God won't ask how many people you forwarded this to,
He'll ask if you were ashamed to pass it on to your friends.
