I pressed the horn, stomped on the accelerator, cursed the driver in the next car and nearly shouted at the traffic policeman. “What’s the matter dad?” my daughter asked. “I hate being late,” I grumbled.
“D’you know of all the people whose lives were saved because they were late?” “After Sept. 11th, attack in the USA the head of security told stories of why many people were alive… and all the stories were just about little annoyances. As you might know, the head of a company survived that day because his son started kindergarten. Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts for his colleagues.
One woman was late because her alarm clock didn’t go off in time. One was late because of being stuck on the highway due to 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 was crying and she didn’t get ready as soon as she 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. I think of that man who was caught in the traffic jam in New York cursing at all and sundry and suddenly looking up from his car and saying, “Oh my gosh that’s my office building going up in flames!
So next time your morning seems to be going wrong; the children are late in getting dressed; you can’t seem to find the car keys; you hit every red traffic light, don’t get mad or frustrated; God is at work watching over you. There is a purpose in those delays.
How would you ever know the accidents you have been kept away from because you were a few minutes late on the scene? How would you ever know that the slow bus to the station helped you avoid a harried, impatient passenger who could have pushed you down onto the rails in the station?
But God knows my friend and as He continues to bless you with all those annoying little things may you remember their possible purpose..!

Nice article but...!
It is very hard to convince a man who has lost everything about God's blessing and good intentions.

Few times late? You are always late!
:lol::lol: That's true... Sir but everything happens for a reason and in the end I do things but it just takes time.. :) For example I have been planning to do Umra since a long time but I haven't been able to get the time..but perhaps once I go there..I may never return..

I know when you will do Umrah - during Hajj, and when people pelt you, you will be wondering why :lol:

I can already see the thread on PDF "People are pelting me instead of Jamarat - WTF!" :enjoy:
