Yes! There are a handful of general stores left in our county and my husband has suggested starting a general store guild of some sort. Strength in numbers, we can share ideas, and promote one another. How awesome if that could be replicated all across the country!
What an incredibly amazing and exciting adventure your family is on, Jessi! I loved reading these stories this week, and look forward to following along as you prepare to "Open EVENTUALLY"!
Wow. This is incredible! All of the values you speak of are dear to my family as well and we are working to establish something similar. Not a general store (though I’m so excited to read more about your journey!!), but *something* worth passing down to our sons. I recently read Jon Harris’ newer articles about the importance of local community going beyond church and I was convicted to say the least. Thank you for sharing this part of what you’re doing in your community! Sending the Lords good blessings to you and yours!
This is incredibly encouraging. I am not only proud of you, my internet friend and your precious family, I am going to be cheering you on and praying for you. I know that God will bless the work of your hands. Cannot wait to hear of the Grand Opening!
Thank you so much Lorelei! Your kind words means so much. It's been very encouraging to receive so many messages from people cheering us on. Confirms even further that we aren't alone feeling the way that we do about the state of things and how to take steps, small as they may be, to fix things.
This is an idea worth spreading! We can start a general store revival with hamlets all over the country coming to life again.
