THE CRAPPER SPEAKS
Monday, June 05, 2006
Normally, I'd delete these kind of emails after a read. Or possibly cut and paste them in a Word document somewhere in my com
before deleting them. I guess there are some things with this particular email which caught my attention.
****
The 'LITTLE' ThingsAs you might know, the head of a company survived 9/11 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 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...
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 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!
(That’s the cool part)
AMEN

So, why did it captured my attention? Well, for firsts, I felt this person really knew God. Other similar emails always add that 'luck' element (like send and be blessed, otherwise suffer consequences).
God's love is not dependent on email!I believe too, if a vessel doesn't wish to be used, God merely uses other people. So the question here isn't about whether
God will bless you for what you've done, but that God will bless you because of who you are.
By the way, CG outing @ Sentosa on 7 June 2006! Meet @ HarbourFront MRT Station @ 11am! There'll be fun and games, food and fellowship!
