As you may know, the head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten that fateful morning.

Another person is alive today because it was his turn to bring donuts.

Several people were late that day because their alarm clock didn't go off or they got stuck in traffic behind an accident. One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.

Several others were held up by last second phone calls, not getting a taxi soon enough or missing their subway train. And countless football fans showed up late that day because their New York Giants played until after midnight against the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football.

Or there was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, and developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.

That is why he is alive today.

So the next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can’t find the car keys, get stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone or any of the other little things that sometimes annoy and delay you, please know that you are exactly where God wants you to be at that very moment and relish in your good fortune!
