Day 223
Appreciation for Connection
There is enchantment on this property and we do not take one bit of it for granted. Instead, Lynn and I often take moments to appreciate what God has given to us. This piece of land would not be ours if it were not for the kindness of others. The story is a credit to God's goodness and mercy and in telling the story we can only give glory to God for we did not obtain this piece of property based on our financial success or acumen.
Six months after the purchase the land became Industrial Commercially zoned. Who knew? God did. The town moved from one end to the other and we found ourselves in the center of the activity. While others were not happy with Walmart and the other businesses we welcomed them. Sure we missed the fields but we loved the activity and convenience.
Coffee is a connector, we watch it happen every day. We enjoy watching the connections, the friendships, and conversations occurring on our property. Coffee is about relationships and what an honor to assist in many.
This past weekend a dear couple, Matt and Sarah, asked if they could celebrate their twin daughters' fifth birthday on our property. What an honor. Friday night was the big night for the birthday girls, Lydia and Lucy, and it was beautiful. The weather cooperated and the conversations at the different tables filled Lynn and I with encouragement. We do not take this property for granted. It is a place of connections and Lynn and I are grateful and honored.
