Day 5

First, I have to be thankful that the egg I retrieved from the chicken coop this morning, that I put in the pocket of my sweatshirt, and forgot to put in the carton, didn't break in my pocket, since I just remembered it was there!

Anyway, this morning I am thankful for my fledgling tea business. I started the business a year and a half ago, as a way to hopefully bring in an income. At present, it has not. I have made sales, have faithful clients, but not enough to turn a coin. I have prayed a lot about whether I should close up shop or not. But every time I do, the Lord brings in more orders, and cuppings, so I keep going.

Back in October I was contacted by FOLK magazine, and asked if  I would be interested in having my tea listed as Christmas gift ideas. YES! In a couple days, I will have in hand the NOV/DEC issue, with Turner Hill Tea amongst its pages! I am so excited as to the possible business this will bring me.

Today, as I was checking my Facebook page, I found a gal with a shop ,The Pickett Fence, just north of me said she sells FOLK in her shop, loves to support local businesses, and that she would like to sell my tea in her shop! O my giddy aunt!!! I am sooooo excited!!! For my dream would be to have my tea business as a part time job, so that I could quit one of the jobs I have now. I don't know if that will ever happen, but for now I am so thankful to the Lord for the possibilities ahead!
