Sometimes it's worth sharing a vision... sometimes you just have to walk it out.
It's been a hot second since we checked in with The Country Corner Gift Shop and Art Studio. Sometimes it's nice to take a step back and look at the work you have created. Ponder what worked, what didn't, what could have been different, or what you are looking forward to.
Looking back helps us grow in the future, it propels us to do better, be more efficient and work harder. It also gives us a chance to stop and thank those who are on the journey with us and be grateful for provision God has provided.
Rerflection is a good thing!
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" - Hebrews 11:1
Since January of 2023, The Country Corner Gift Shop, featuring Lazy JM Cattle Co, has exploded on the scene in a dynamic and personal way. Offering local products such as milk, eggs and locally grown beef, but also a social scene as well that has grown a community that has quickly become family. Who would have thought over a year ago that we would have such a robust social community in Turner Or? A gathering place, a place to talk about the weather, a place to share your soul. There's nothing better than watching people come in, sit down and share their stories. We love it!! It's so special to share life with people.
The McNarie family has worked tirelessly to offer this community a piece of their heart. They give out of their natural talents that God has graciously bestowed on them and our Turner Family is better for it. Joe and Edie are always pondering the question, "What more can we do?" - well... Joe is always "dreaming" and Edie is always busy "Doing" - They are a great team and push each other to be better. It's the "push" that not only builds character, but turns dreams into reality.
Over the years, we have watched Joe and Edie cultivate a community of "family" and if you have ever been blessed to sit around their campfire, you can see the love they have for their family and their friends. Watching them birth a dream and then act on it is like watching a snowball roll down a hill. The idea starts slowly and then escalates until anyone and everyone around is chiming in and excited to get started. Really exciting and a tad scary all at once!
When dreams become a reality its the start of something great.
The birth of the Country Corner gift Shop and Art Studio, while nothing short of miraculous, is nothing compared to the dreams they have sitting in the quiet shadows, just waiting for the right time to arrive. Good things come to those who wait right? So many good ideas....
They serve together... in their giftings... working with each other toward a common goal.
They do if for their family.
They do if for their community.
They do it for you.
See you at the corner!
