Another Year!


Another year is dawning!
Dear Master, let it be,
In working or in waiting,
Another year with Thee,
Another year in leaning,
Upon Thy loving breast,
Of ever-deepening trustfulness,
Of quiet, happy rest.

Another year of mercies,
Of faithfulness and grace,
Another year of gladness,
In the shining of Thy face.
Another year of progress,
Another year of praise;
Another year of proving
Thy presence "all the days."


----Frances Ridley Havergal

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."      1 Peter 1:3


Love, Blessings and a Happy New Year!!

  2. Hi Amy Jo ... Well it was a lovely vacation it's been 5 years since we decide to leave the business and shut things down for 5 days and I must admit 10 days really would have been ideal after having done it ..and it was well worth shutting down. Like you our business is in our and it becomes every part of our lives ..from the time you wake till the time your say good night. If you can ..take some time even 5 days and just hang up the work aprons .. it was well worth it and clients well understand and be there waiting when you return.

    Wishing you and your family a Happy and Blessed New Year ..
