One of a kind jewelry pieces make wonderful gifts for those who like something a bit different. I only have a few necklace/earring sets available right now…you might want to drop in and take a look. Christmas is less than 3 weeks away and Santa could probably use a little help. 😊🎄🎅🏼
A Quiet Life Handmades will be open today 11-5…114 W. Main St., Gibsonville.

🎄Make plans to visit the Christmas Market tomorrow, as well as all your favorite downtown shops and restaurants! 🎄

🎄✨ CHRISTMAS MARKET IS TOMORROW! ✨🎄

Prepare your Christmas cheer, your sweet tooth, and your self-control… because you’re going to need all three. 😅🎁🧁

We’re talking Christmas desserts for days, beautiful handmade gift ideas, and unique finds you didn’t even know you needed but absolutely do. 🎨✨

Plus — so many of our amazing vendors are local artisans, including a bunch who are brand-new to the area. Come meet them, support them, and maybe buy way more than you planned. It happens. Consider this your warning. 😉

📅 Saturday, December 6th
⏰ 10AM–2PM
📍 Downtown Gibsonville

Come shop, snack, and soak in all the holiday cheer. If Santa had a favorite market… it would be this one. 🎅🏼✨

Can you imagine being a 10 yr old and the only thing on your wish list for Santa is food? We can make sure these kids have a good Christmas if we work together.

Amen. ❤️

Dear God, bless the small business owner who needs just one crucial client, one meaningful sale, one open door to keep their dream alive. Bless the person who pours their heart, their savings, their sleepless nights, and their quiet hopes into something the world may never fully see or understand. Strengthen the entrepreneur who wakes up each morning carrying both determination and doubt—who pushes forward even when the numbers don’t add up, when the phone stays silent, when the inbox remains empty, and when fear whispers louder than confidence.

Pour comfort over the one who keeps showing up, day after day, doing work that matters deeply to them, even when success feels so close yet painfully out of reach. Bless the hands that craft, the minds that create, and the voices that serve with honesty, integrity, and passion. Provide clarity where confusion tries to settle, and grant resilience where weariness threatens to take hold. Surround them with encouragement when they question their worth, and remind them why they started in the first place.

Dear God, send them that one opportunity that shifts everything—the client who believes in them, the sale that bridges the gap, the message that renews their faith, or the moment that proves their efforts have not been in vain. Let doors open that no challenge can close, and let resources appear that lift the burdens they’ve been carrying alone. Bless them with divine favor, unexpected support, and renewed momentum.

Watch over their dreams, their ideas, their families, and their finances. Let peace settle in their mind when uncertainty tries to steal their focus. Let courage rise in their spirit when they feel like giving up. Let hope stay alive, burning steadily even in the seasons when results come slowly.

And God, remind them that even in this difficult moment—when so much depends on just one breakthrough—they are not abandoned, not forgotten, and not invisible. Guide them, sustain them, and surround them with your grace. Let their work flourish, let their efforts be rewarded, and let their dream not only survive, but grow into something strong, fruitful, and enduring.

Amen.

Our mission to help feed local kids keeps growing — and now WXII News will be at our office Monday to interview our team, Rylee and her dad! We’re excited to shine more light on this need and keep the momentum going. Thank you for all the support! ❤️🙌

Our State Farm office got a fresh facelift this weekend as we prepare to welcome WXII this Monday for a special interview about Rylee’s food donation mission. We’re so grateful for the chance to share this incredible story and highlight how our community is coming together to help local kids. ❤️🙌

🚨UPDATE ON RYLEE: 🚨
12/3/25: Rylee has been located and is safe — thank you all for sharing and praying! ❤️ While walking through this situation, we learned about several other children in our community who are struggling with food insecurity, and we want to help meet those needs immediately.

We are meeting with her and her mom today, and since hearing her story we’ve identified multiple other children in local elementary schools who are needing food support. We are already in contact with school officials to get a headcount of families who may need help so we can respond quickly and effectively.
