This morning, on my way to work, I was stuck behind an SUV going unusually slow.  I was really annoyed that the person in front of me was making my commute last a few minutes longer than it normally does.

All of a sudden, a deer darted out in front of the SUV in front of me which caused them and then me to slam on our breaks.  We were all lucky…the deer escaped without injury and the driver of the SUV and myself were safe from any car accident.  Then I realized that had that slow driver not been in front of me, I probably would have been driving at my usual higher speed or following another car driving at a faster speed and things could have ended very badly for myself, the deer, and my car.

I realized that someone or something was watching out for me and the unusually slow driver in front of me this morning was put there for a reason.  I found myself being thankful for them rather than annoyed or frustrated and reminded myself to not always be in such a hurry.  It’s experiences like this that reinforce my belief in God and a higher power.
