I went to go somewhere and my car tire went flat. I cursed and was angered because I knew I would be late. I arrived where I was going, then someone asked me haven't you heard, there was a terrible accident on the way I would have normally gone. My alarm clock didn't work and I couldn't find my keys. I arrived at my job after work started and I thought oh great I'm behind. Everyone was already busy and I was left behind. Then my boss came walk through and said please come with me. I thought I was done for, but in reality, the misfortune that had made me late, actually made me on time. I was asked to help a client and a new promotions was mine. Life is full of things we think are misfortunes, but that is not always bad. Sometimes divine providence resets our course, even when we don't see it that way. So it makes you wonder, when misfortune might be a good thing.
