I opened up the Farmstand cash box this morning and found a handwritten note tucked inside that completely made my day. It reads: "You have an amazing gift not only spreading the Word but also our waistlines. Thank you for your work." 😂❤️
To whoever left this: thank you from the bottom of my heart!
As a woman of faith, there is a scripture that guides everything I do: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." Pouring love, care, and prayer into every batch of baked goods is my way of giving thanks to God for His blessings. Knowing that these treats bring joy to your homes makes every early morning and late night at the oven completely worth it!
Because this stand is about so much more than just good food, I wanted to share a few reminders of what else you can always find here:
📚 The Little Library: On the back of the farmstand, we have a library filled with books for both adults and children, as well as Bibles for anyone who doesn't have one or might just be curious. You can read them and bring them back, or you can keep them forever—either way, I don't mind! I don't count the books, I just happily refill the shelves whenever I see they're getting a little low. Help yourself!
🙏 .The Prayer Request Box: If something is troubling you or weighing on your heart, there is a prayer box where you can anonymously drop a note. My family and I would be honored to pray for you.
❤️ Lifted Souls Ministry: Long before I was baking or serving as a chaplain, I went through my own deep struggles. I’ve been there, and I understand how heavy life can get. I found a love and grace that completely turned my life around and brought me new life, and I want nothing more than to share that hope. If you ever just need a listening ear, a safe place to talk, or some gentle guidance through a difficult time, you are never alone. You can find cards with our website at the stand in the library. Our website uses a fully encrypted email system, so you can write in completely anonymously if you prefer. Share as much or as little as you want—you can use your real name or a fake name, because it truly doesn't matter to me. I don't need to know who you are; God knows exactly who you are, and I am simply here to help you through.
Thank you all for being the absolute best community and for supporting this little stand. You fill our weeks with so much warmth and encouragement! Know that you are loved! 🍪🍞✨
