A Realtor's Monday Prayer

As I stumble out of bed and sprint towards the coffee maker I wonder if I am the only one who begins each Monday with the following prayer:

Dear Lord,

Please get me to the coffee maker quickly and safely.

Please forgive me for the words I say when I realize it is empty.

Help me to remember all my blessings as I get behind a driver who has no where to go and is getting there at turtle speed.

Soften my tone as my first phone call is from an attorney explaining yet another delay on my closing that seems to rival each and every aspect of Murphy's Law.

Remind me to plug the fax machine in BEFORE spending an hour on the phone with tech support.

Teach me the power of humility when I realize that the mass email I just sent had a "slight" spelling error.

"Beautiful Beaufort Hoes For Sale" somehow, I think I will get many replies.

Lead me NOT into temptation as it occurs to me that some Realtors just don't give feedback no matter how many times I beg. Dear Lord, place your strong hands over my mouth as we both know how big it can get.

And in closing, Dear Lord, walk beside me all day so that when people ask me who on earth am I talking to I have a splendid answer!

LOL you are so fun! I'm sure the Beaufort Hoes will get at least a few of your male clients quick to read the E mail. LOL Have a great Monday after the coffee's done.

Fort Myers Florida Homes,

This morning we went to the coffee pot to find we have no water (so sad)

Somebody has to go to the store first. (we have well water, you cannot drink).

Hopefully the rest of the day turns out better.

Cherimie --- very funny --- don't you just hate it when you have hit that send button and see something like that? Monday is a new day, but so is each day. I live each day to the fullest.

Love the prayer! Although I believe that any day on this side of the dirt is a good day, and I do thank the good Lord for each one I get, some days I need a little reminder of how fortunate I am to have another one! Carpe diem

Cherimie, I think we can all relate to the foibles you describe. As for the slow pokes on the highway, I will never be able to take that in stride! I usually forget that I am trying not to use 4 letter words!

I really got a good chuckle out of the typing mistake! Hahahahahaha!
