I have the great fortune to chair the community involvement committee for the Utah County Association of REALTORS. Because of this opportunity, I have had the privilege to be involved in some great causes. Recently, we were able to organize 80 REALTOR volunteers to work on a Habitat for Humanity subdivision in Provo, Utah. What a great Saturday we had rehabilitating a home, building a new home and getting the Habitat shop cleaned up. We will also be involved in the Utah Heart to Home project, as well as Pride in Provo, and the annual food drive. In future posts, I will let you know of upcoming Habitat for Humanity projects as well as other community events that we will be helping with.
One of the most majestic sites of all of nature is the migratory flight of the Canadian goose escaping the oncoming cold and seeking the warmer climates of the lands southward. The V shaped flight pattern of the flock of geese is announced by the hymn of the honking geese. One must only watch for a short time to notice that the lead goose drops to the tail of the V, while one of his brethren takes his place at the helm. Nature has taught these creatures that the easiest flying formation for the flock is the V. One goose leads out and breaks the resistance of the air making the flight easier for the entire flock. This is no easy task and cannot be borne alone; therefore, the task is shared by the rotation of the lead goose. As each goose takes his turn the load is distributed throughout the entire flock, making the burden lighter for the whole group.
This preceding paragraph explains why I have a passion to be involved with Habitat for Humanity and the other projects. We can really make a difference in the lives of others without it being a huge burden on ourselves if we will be willing to share the load together.
Have a great week.
