A Great Start!

Happy Sunday Joy-Creators and Joy-Partners! The sun is shining and trying to chase away the spring chill in southern Indiana this morning. A warm puppy on my lap and a cup of hot coffee are helping too! I'm anticipating being with my church family this morning and I think about the comfort and security that I have with gratitude. We'll pick up our grocery order later and fix a meal for our family that's coming over tonight to celebrate birthdays.

Then I begin to think about our goal for this month. Honestly as the marketer and sales rep for Alegria, it's daunting. But behind that goal is a young woman. She grew up at Faith Home and she's been out on her own and working. But the factory where she worked had lay offs and now she's struggling with basic needs. Searching for a job, and not finding anything.

Then the number 1917 gets smaller, because we can look at her through the eyes of God and see a daughter that He created and cares for. He HAS a job for her - at Alegria, in safety with a salary. And WE get to be a part of that by purchasing the jewelry made by our artisans in Honduras. Wow!

So today, my request for prayer is simple. That God would continue to move the hearts of women in the US to join in this story, to shop for Alegria for Mother's Day this week. To find a beautiful graduation gift, or a new style for our summer look. 127 pieces have found a new home in the first 2 days! Just 1790 to go!

After you've prayed today, which is our biggest ask, would you consider shopping? Be a part of changing "A"s life with a job at Alegria!
