Subject WHERE GOD WANTS ME TO BE

Brother Bob,

Just got this from Gwen UNCAPHER. The stories made me think of a story that I have been meaning to relate to you.

When my wife and I had a baby that was in a hospital in Pittsburgh: we would visit her every chance we got. One day our minister was going to Pittsburgh for a few meetings: and to visit a few sick members that were in the hospital in that city. I accompanied him that day. While he was doing his business: I visited with our daughter. When he picked me up for our trip home: he had one last visit to make with a fellow that had cancer. We managed to get stuck in a heavy traffic jam. It was sure hot that day: and the pastor was starting to become quit upset. When we finally arrived at the hospital: we were just in time to be with the fellow and his family as he was breathing his last few breaths. So had we not been delayed: we would have been miles from there by the time of his passing.

I have been meaning to tell you this for quite some time: but some how always manage to get sidetracked. But this was the perfect opportunity to tell this story of the works of GOD.

GOD Bless You and Yours !!

Pappy !!!

WHERE GOD WANTS ME TO BE

Next time your morning seems to be going wrong and the children are slow getting dressed and you can't seem to find the car keys and you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated; praise God instead because God is at work watching over you.

After Sept. 11 ... I happened to call a man on business that I didn't know and have not, nor will ever, talk to again. But this day, he felt like talking. He was head security of 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

.....and all the stories were just 'little' things.

As you might know, the head of the company got in late that day 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 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.

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, 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.

May God 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:

God's Love Is Not Dependent on E-Mail or a Web Page.

Faith is being sure of what you hope for
and certain of what you do not see.
Hebrews 11:1
