So much to be thankful for!

Hello world-wide-web,
      Jesus, as you already know, Mother's Day can be an unhappy day for some people; some are reminded of mother's who are in Your care now; some do not have a good relationship with their mother; and still others who are struggling to regain good contact and start anew with their mothers. Throughout all of this, Lord, we look to Your mother, our Blessed Mother, for guidance. She is the role model of all mothers for us: the kind, loving, encouraging, and epitome of unconditional love for her children, Mother. Please help us Lord, to love everyone like You love them, to see people as You see them, Lord. And Jesus, on Mother's Day I am also reminded of Mother Earth. Please have Mercy on Us for not taking care of this wonderful planet you gave us. Please show us the positive that can come from the oil spill in the Gulf of La. Heal that area, Lord; restore it to the natural and magnificent habitat it was before this spill, and show us how we can help. Thank you, Jesus. In Your name. Amen.

I have been truly blessed. The best news this past week, for me, was the refinancing of my home. But instead of going 'on and on' about the refinancing, I want to recommend someone to you, dear reader, if you are in the market to refinance your home. Christina Partida at Envoy Mortgage is fantastic. I wrote a letter to Chrisitina's boss, Adrienne, and am enclosing it so you can 'see' just what a great agent Christina is and how she can maybe help you.
Hello Adrienne,(Chrisina's boss)
My name is -- and I want to tell you about one of your employees, Christina Partida. But before I do that, I need to give you some background information about how I met Christina. I don’t know if you believe in Divine Intervention, Adrienne, but I do.
I received many offers to refinance my home, as I’m sure many people did, and I was fairly skeptical about using any of these companies, especially with the housing crises raging.
I also remained skeptical and unwilling to go with any of these businesses because they didn’t have the correct mortgage information for me; all of them that is, except one: Christina’s firm. This is when I met Christina; she ‘happened’ (this is the Divine Intervention I’m talking about) to answer the phone when I called and inquired about their programs to help people refinance.
Adrienne, I immediately felt comfortable with Christina. She is easy to talk to, sweet, knowledgeable, and above all, caring. She asked me what I wanted most with regard to my mortgage, and I told her a lower APR rate, as well as the amount of time to repay the loan decreased– less than 30 years. She was able to deliver the former, and though I didn’t get the latter, I did refinance my house for less than what I originally paid for my house, AND I didn’t need to put any money down for the refinance. A true miracle was worked by Christina, not to mention an additional $400 taken off the amount I was going to owe on my house…I didn’t know exactly what God had in store for my interactions with Christina, because if I had, I would have praised the Lord for her in the beginning, as opposed to now, once I’ve seen all the hard work she put into my case.
As I’m sure you are aware, Adrienne, Christina was disturbed by the lack of integrity her previous company showed in their dealings and knew she could not continue working for such an organization. During this terrible transition, when Christina was harassed and threatened, she kept in constant contact with me and kept me abreast of all that was going on with her and her previous employer. She impressed me with her poise and professionalism in these difficult circumstances.
When she began working for Envoy, Christina wasted no time in getting back to my situation; more than once did Christina drive from Carrollton to Garland to pick papers up and, when she learned that I had been in the hospital for a minor operation, she brought me roses!
Adrienne, I just want you to know you have an outstanding worker in Christina. She is a huge asset to your company. I will dedicate an FB posting to Christina and your company this coming week, and will probably also post a copy of this letter on my blog. May God continue to bless Christina, your company and you, Adrienne. Christina, thank you for all you did for me. (I will not post your last name, Adrienne, on FB or my blog, for privacy’s sake)
