There Are No Words

This life is so precious and so short. There are no words to explain the gift of life that is given to us by Father. It’s priceless, the bond between family, and often it is so taken for granted. Yesterday morning I was doing some work before my meetings here in South Carolina. My phone…

For the Lord to Come

During Advent and Lent I change my routine a little. I tend to look for prayers that are specific to these seasons. I like reading a variety of prayers that help me reflect on the season at hand. They help me slow down and remember why we recognize and celebrate these special times. Life gets…

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.

Start it Right

It’s going to be a busy day ahead at our Christmas Market. I’m heading out the door to get an early start on some things, and I almost skipped writing this little blog. I figured you all would understand, and then I realized, um, I always have time for Jesus! I’m guessing He knows what…

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…

Prioritize

It’s interesting to me how lately I’ve noticed the many ways that Father provides opportunities to prioritize my relationship with Him. What the heck does that mean, you are probably asking yourself. Well, like most people, my days are pretty jam-packed. Throughout those days, again like most, I have ups and downs, easy sailing and…
