Blessed Sunday~The Power of Prayer!

The Power of Prayer:

I have always been told that it’s not politically correct to mix business and religion.  I recently read an ActiveRain Blog by Loreena Yeo that put things in perspective and inspired me.  Please understand, my intent is not to offend anyone.  But today, I want the world to know that I believe in the power of prayer. 

 

I love being a Realtor…I find it as personally satisfying as being a Registered Respiratory Therapist.  I love helping people and taking care of them.  Unfortunately, a couple of years ago…I had emergency surgery and my immunity plummeted.   I was catching everything my patients had.  So, I had to leave the one thing that I loved and had been doing for the last 20 years.  But, I found a new love…being a Realtor.  I do Real Estate to help people.  I still help people, just in a different way.  I get tickled pink when I find my first-time homeowners their dream home or when I help a struggling home-owner sell their home.  I don’t do it for the money, I know many of you are thinking I am full of it (but, you wouldn't think that if you saw my car...I drive a 8 year old Beetle Bug).  But seriously, I only want to make enough money to pay my bills, enjoy the simple life, and give back to God and my community.  I will be completely honest with all of you…if I am very successful and do well financially, then trust me, I won’t knock it. 

 

I have been very blessed in my first year of Real Estate and have made lasting friendships, as well.  I feel my success is due largely to prayer.  I pray every day that I continue to succeed in helping people find their dream home.  I pray that God gives me the strength to do or say the right thing, (or better yet, not say the wrong thing).  I pray that my clients are thoroughly happy with me and their transaction.  I pray that my family is safe and that we all make the right decisions.  But…the most important prayer of all is that we all stay safe in our dealings with clients and that nobody becomes a victim.  I pray each and every one of you have a blessed Sunday and sell homes!

 

Verse for today: "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
