Today was one of those days that you dread for a week and then it gets here and you find that it wasn't so bad after all. After many gray, rainy days the sun was actually out in all its glory and my skin was happy to feel it's ultra-violet rays! Wasn't sure once again that I was going to have a Make a Difference Monday Moment but God never fails and here it came.
Got home from work and went through my usual routine. Checked my e mail, popped up on facebook, you know the routine. Byron was busy outside, big surprise I know! I began manning the kennel phone, which thankfully has been ringing pretty steadily lately! I had made a couple nice reservations for this summer when a call came in from a client that moved out of the area several years ago. She introduced herself as Dee and I knew immediately who she was. I have always had a knack for remembering names and voices, I guess that comes from all my years in customer service. Anyway, Dee went on to tell me that we had kept her golden retriever several years ago when they lived in Monticello and I said " sure I remember Todd" and she stopped in her tracks. She began to cry and was just joyful that I had remembered her beloved pet. Todd had passed away about 3 years ago and they had a new dog now. It seems she was unhappy with the kennel she had been using and wanted to know if we would be willing to keep her dog if she made the hour and a half trip to us. Of course I would be happy to keep her pet. If he is anything like Todd he would be a joy to have! Her gratefulness was nearly enough to erase the inconsiderate client I had dealt with on Sunday morning.
Sometimes I look so hard for the make a difference moment that I nearly overlook the simple things that the Lord places in front of me. That is my make a difference moment. Did you have one? Would love to hear it if you did!
