Today was one of those days that I just so... enjoyed my job. I listed a house this afternoon and spent a couple of hours with the seller. There are so many times I am rushed, but I have to remind myself to slow down. She, the seller, was so enjoyable and I just felt blessed by meeting her. Later on today, I closed a property that the buyer had returned to
Afghanistan and his father was the one that actually closed with me today. It took us an extra amount of time, but in doing so, I was able to visit with another Veteran and ask questions, and just hear a small part of his story. He fought in the Korean and Vietnam war and was wounded. I had to fight back tears several times, because we just do not realize how these men and women fight for our freedom along with others that do not have freedom. One of his comments was, "I would do it again, I would die for this country", and another comment he made was, (I am paraphrasing), that God is right with us in the midst of whatever storm we are in. In Psalm 57:1, which I read early this morning, it says, "I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed". How fitting this verse was this afternoon. I just had to hug this man several times and thank him for being my hero. I told him I personally know two hero's now, he and his son. I have always prayed that God would put me exactly where I need to be each day and each moment. I don't exactly feel that way everyday, but today was one of the day's I really felt this desire completed. My job is about people, about life's situations, about happy times, and sad times. I want to be in the moment. I want to stop talking and just listen. :)
