Fall Launch and a GIVEAWAY!!

I'm so excited that the Noonday Collection fall/winter line is here!!  To celebrate its arrival, I'm doing a GIVEAWAY!!

All I want you to do is check out my website (try not to drool) and comment below with your absolute favorite, must-have pieces!

You can win a $50 gift card to purchase whatever you love most!

Could it be this?

You won't believe the amazing, heart-warming feeling you will get when you share that your necklace was made my HIV+ women who now have a sense of dignity or a widow struggling to care for her babies.

Or that families in Guatemala are able to send their children to school because they can finally afford the school fees.

You guys, we are all connected.  Our artisans are not nameless, faceless people.  They share so many of the same dreams that you and I take for granted; a safe home, clean water, nutritious food, and quality education for their children.

You will look fashionable and create a pathway out of poverty for the 1,000 artisans that Noonday currently employs.  Their stories are truly stories of redemption.

Wear their story, share their story.
When you satisfy the needs of the oppressed, your night will become like the noonday.  Isaiah 58:10

Thomas's Baptism

On Sharing the Faith

My father-in-law writes devotionals each weekday.  This is today's.  I feel exactly the same way.

“The Call to Christian Discipleship”

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first and also to the Greek,” (Romans 1:16, KJV).

This past Sunday evening, my wife and I had one of the most incredible experiences, when we got to watch our youngest grandson be baptized in the York river, in York, Virginia.  We have been blessed to see all of our grandchildren be baptized, after they have made a public profession of their faith, and personally accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. 

Sunday evening was special, because our grandson had attended Vacation Bible School at our church earlier in the summer, and had also made his profession of faith during Sunday school, the following Sunday.  It was great to see the confident smile on his face, and it was an equal blessing to see the huge smile on his big brother’s face as well.  You could tell he was as happy for his little brother as any one person could be. 

However, the biggest blessing came when just before the baptism, our grandson’s Sunday school teacher let everyone know that he and his big brother had shared with their Sunday school classmates what it took to become a Christian, and that one of the other boys in their class accepted Christ that day.  The other boy was also baptized Sunday evening! 

A seven-, and ten-year old boy led another young boy to Christ- -how amazing is our Lord!  When was the last time you shared your faith with a friend who was not a Christian?  Who knows what God has in store for you and the other person!

 “Jesus said, Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these,” (Matthew 19:14, TNIV).
