Walking in the Past
Last night we went to a small holiday gathering at a friend’s home. Just a few friends enjoying a beverage, nosh, and some Christmas cheer. It was a lovely evening, the food was wonderful and the conversation was lively. We all shared our plans for Christmas and it was fun to hear how everyone would…

Mary’s Song of Praise
A friend of mine sends me a scripture reading and reflection each morning. These last few weeks before Christmas, he has been focusing his reflections on the season of Advent, of course. They have been helping me to take time each morning, slow down just a bit, and truly reflect on the preparation for the…

WNC Winter Wonderland
Over the past weeks since Hurricane Helene made her way through Florida, Georgia, Eastern TN, and Western NC, I’ve been asking regularly for you all to lift these communities in prayer. The damage done by this storm has been historic, like nothing we’ve ever seen. We’ve talked about “100-year storms” such as Hurricane Ian. However, Helene,…

A Little Advent
Well, I’m not quite sure where the year has gone, here we are December 1st already. I will say that I welcome this day, for several reasons, first, we’ve officially made it through hurricane season! More importantly though, it’s Advent, the time when we prepare for the birth of the baby Jesus. When our kids…

Being Quiet Is the Hardest
I wonder how many of you are like me. Well that question could go in a couple of different directions couldn’t it? What I mean is, how many of you have a hard time just listening for the answer to prayers? Sometimes I feel like I’m trying too hard to hear what Father may be…

Just Make it a Good Day
Morning friends. Taking a break today and heading over to the farmer’s market. Yes our farmer’s markets are in the winter here in Florida. It’s a brisk 55 degrees and I’m bundled up, but looking forward to coffee and seeing the local farmers again 🙂 . Today I just wish you a little relaxation, some…

The Ladies
Yesterday was our final day of preparing products for our booth at the upcoming Christmas Market we are hosting. This is the 68th annual event for us and I think the Gourmet Canners have had a space almost since its beginning. I have to admit I was a little worried that we would get everything…
