Hello Friend! Is the weather cool where you are? Here, Fall temps. have made it, and it is such a great gift. I am enjoying cool mornings and warmer afternoons, the kind that invites a cozy sweater as the day begins. Mr. Handsome and I will be leaving for a few days to enjoy, hopefully, some breathtaking Fall foliage, exploring the vibrant landscapes and breathing in the crisp, fresh air. This trip is a wonderful opportunity to disconnect from the daily hustle and spend some much-needed quality time together, creating memories.

Did you know that October is Pastor Appreciation month? It is, and it is time to celebrate our leaders of our churches, who dedicate their lives to guiding our spiritual journeys. Having been in a ministry with Mr. Handsome for seven years, I know how wonderful and yet how hard it is to shoulder the responsibility of shepherding a congregation. These leaders face unique challenges daily, from providing support to parishioners to managing the complexities of church governance, and their commitment is truly inspiring. I think it imperative to cheer our leaders on and their wives, who often stand by their side, sharing in both the joys and the burdens that come with this sacred vocation. Let us take this month to express our gratitude and recognition, ensuring they feel valued for their tireless efforts and dedication to our communities.

I reworked my booth once again after people shopped in it; it definitely needed to be straightened and new items added to the booth to keep things fresh and inviting for customers. I carefully arranged the existing products, ensuring that everything was neatly displayed to catch the eye of passersby. I have some new items coming of things I have watercolored, which I am particularly excited about, as they showcase my artistic style and would be a great addition to the booth. I will put some in the booth and some in my Etsy shop, allowing online customers to enjoy my work as well. I can’t wait to show you.

I wish for you a great weekend and a great next week.

Best,

Amy
