God's timing is perfect..........

I am not sure I will ever learn but I am regularly reminded you would think I would learn.

The other day I was trying to get to work early because I had been off for about five days and I knew there would be lots to do and catch up on. All the kids are out of school for spring break and people are off work this week so traffic should have been a breeze.......should have been. I get out of my county just fine. I enter into the county I work in and traffic is a mess.

What should have taken 30 mins or less took the standard 45+ minutes. The closer I got to work the angrier I became. About two miles from work I was just furious. As I make a right turn and merge into a left lane I am cut off by a man who is in a bigger hurry than I am. At that point, I just said,"Enough".

I was not going to start my day this way. For whatever reason I will get to work right on time and I just need to take a deep breath and accept it. I wasn't happy about it but I accepted it.

As I made my left turn that in another mile I would be at work I came upon a HORRIBLE accident where a large pick up with a trailer attached met another smaller pick up. There was massive damage to both vehicles with fire trucks, police, ambulance basically the works. I could smell the fuel all over the road.

If I was getting to work when I wanted I might have been involved and/or seriously injured. It was right in front of my parents exit to their neighborhood. So not only had my tardiness kept me from being involved, it happened after my parents exit the neighborhood to start their days.

So yes again I am reminded "God's timing is perfect and He will take care of everything in His time."

I am grateful, I nor my family was involved and I hoped and prayed that the vehicles took most of the hit and that the drivers would be ok.

Remember the next time you are late getting somewhere to be Thankful. You never know what could have happened had you been on time.

TTFN~
