Gifts and Ornaments and a Baby!

Good morning sweet Joy Creators!

Thank you for praying for me at the Christian Products Expo this past week. It was a success and 7 new stores added Alegria (check them out on our Shop In Person map on the website). Let's thank God for these new Joy-Partners and ask Him to bless their Alegria inventory to sell quickly in their stores. I have several current CPE Joy-Partners to follow up with this week for virtual meetings for fall reorders and I'm asking God to bless those calls and the stores that reorder.

Honduras is buzzing with stocking up our best sellers for Christmas, designing ornaments and new items for gifts and our winter collection. We always pray for creativity and wisdom when we design. And of course for our supply chain in Honduras to stay reliable with our bisuterias that order and stock our materials.  Thank you for joining us to pray for these things as well.

We do have a new baby on the way in Honduras and one of our artisans that will soon be on maternity leave. Thank you for praying for a healthy baby and healthy mommy (and daddy). This will be the wonderful couple's first baby. We all know the fears and anxieties around your first. But what a joy to anticipate and pray with them!

This week in the US we are inviting everyone to come to a fashion show at Posh on Main and we pray for a large turnout and a great sales day that provides wages and expenses for our artisans. If you are close to Evansville, we'd love for you to come and bring a small crowd with you!

Happy first week of school to so many of you that are teachers and moms sending kids back or getting your homeschool classroom ready.  We pray for a wonderful, safe, and joy-filled school year for you.
