My Blessing for the Day

Wow I have been busy since the last time I blogged!!
I have alot to write about!
But tonight I want to talk about my day today,,,,,,,
We have been pretty busy at work this week, and I LIKE IT THAT WAY!
But I have been so tired when I get home!
The blessing I received today was I waited on a man who ordered glasses from us a few days ago. This man is VERY nearsighted and he hasnt worn glasses in years.(Remember, this is a grown man, working, DRIVING!!) Just out of curiosity I asked him when was the last time he had a pair of glasses. He said "Never." But then he went on to tell me that when he was in the 6th grade he had glasses and he threw them away! Then he went into the service and they gave him 2 pairs of glasses and he said "This is great, I'll be able to see now!!" and he said he never wore those! Now this man is in his 50's, I am guessing (maybe early 60's??) and he is purchasing his glasses,,,,,1st time glasses, 1st time bifocals!
He picked up his glasses today! He couldnt believe how well he could see, he couldnt believe how clear eveything was! He was getting up to leave and he started to take them off,,,,and he stopped and said "I think I'll leave these ON!!"
Anyway,,,,that was a BLESSING! He seemed so happy! He seemed so relieved!
In retail you meet ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE! OMG! Some people you think are just plain idiots! Some have ZERO personality! Some have ZERO manners! ALOT seem to have ZERO common sense! Some are goofy! Some are just plain RUDE!
But people like the man I helped today,,,,,well, they make it all worth while!
