The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.
Psalm 29:11

Strength and peace. May you fee that so deeply in this season.

Oh these rich blues are so so perfect on this tea towel. And I just LOVE the hymn "What a friend we have in Jesus". This makes such a perfect gift for any occasion of any season for anyone. I know that seems like I might be exaggerating but I'm not!

My Hope is Built Hymn Story time

Edward Mote (1797–1874) was a master cabinetmaker, a hymn writer of over 100 hymns, and eventually a Baptist minister at age 55. In 1834 on his way to work one morning, he thought about writing a hymn on the “Gracious Experience of a Christian.” He had the chorus written before he got to work. By the end of the day he had the first four verses written. Later that week, he visited a woman who was very ill. She wanted to sing a hymn, but they couldn’t find a hymnal. He pulled out the new hymn from his pocket and sang it for her. She loved it so much she asked for a copy. Mote finished the hymn adding two more verses then sent it to his publisher. It immediately became popular and is still a popular hymn today.

In 1886 when Daniel B. Towner, the composer of the music, was leading worship at one of Dwight L. Moody’s big revivals in Brockton, Massachusetts. Towner shared the story in Ira D. Sankey’s biography, My Life and the Story of the Gospel Hymns.

He recalled that one night, during a testimony meeting, a young man stood up and said, “I am not quite sure—but I am going to trust, and I am going to obey.” That simple, honest statement stuck with Towner. He jotted it down and sent it, along with a little note about the moment, to his friend Rev. J.H. Sammis, a Presbyterian minister.

Sammis took that phrase and turned it into one of the most well-loved hymn refrains of all time:

“Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.”

The hymn first appeared in Hymns Old and New in 1887, and it’s been in hymnals ever since.

Sammis himself had quite a journey to ministry. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he started as a successful businessman in Logansport, Indiana. But through his work with the YMCA, he felt called to ministry, eventually attending McCormick and Lane Seminaries and becoming a Presbyterian minister in 1880. He pastored churches across Iowa, Indiana, and Minnesota before joining the faculty at the Los Angeles Bible Institute.

Like so many gospel songs, this hymn is built on the simple truth that trusting God’s word and obeying His will is the surest path to lasting peace and joy. And in the final stanza, Sammis captures the ultimate promise of our faith—that one day, we will sit at His feet.

The kitchen is the heart of your home. And in that heart, I want you to fill that with Jesus. Because in ALL THINGS and ALL AREAS of our life, we need to remember whose we are.

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
― C.S. Lewis

YES C.S.!!! And it’s my favorite time of year curling up with a book and a cup of hot tea.

Amazing Grace Hymn story time

“Amazing Grace” is one of our most well-known and popular hymns. The lyrics to “Amazing Grace” were written in 1772 by John Newton (1725-1807), a former slave trader turned Anglican cleric and abolitionist. In 1835 William Walker published “Amazing Grace” in a hymn book that used the tune we use in the U.S. today to sing “Amazing Grace.” Harriet Beecher Stowe referred to the hymn in her anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, which helped “Amazing Grace” grow in popularity during the American Civil War. Today, “Amazing Grace” has appeared in thousands of albums and is often sung to proclaim the freedom and hope John Newton knew and infused into this cherished hymn.

Oh I just love our hymn greeting cards. They are art packed into a small card that you can mail to someone dear in your life. But the main reason that I love our hymn greeting cards is that I put all the history of each hymn on the back of every card. I LOVE church history and I love hearing how a song came to be. I love learning about the person that wrote a hymn that is so near and dear to my life. Because y’all, we’re gonna meet the hymn writers in Heaven! They are our brothers and sisters in Jesus. And it humanizes and make the hymn so much more meaningful.
