Best Life Gifts of Pine Bush NY, loves to source its ideas for gifts from fellow Witnesses all over the world. Many of them are in full time service themselves and use these products to support their ministry. For instance, Best Life Gifts is now showcasing 3 gifts from a sister that designed them. One is a kitchen spatula that says, “Taste and see that Jehovah is good.” The other is a wooden wall plaque that says, “Let Jehovah be the writer of your story.” And a picture frame that friends can put there Bethel photos in that says, “Let us go up to the house of Jehovah.” 

 

We asked the designer, to tell us more about her story. Cary tells us, “We sold our business, we sold our house and we have simplified our life. Our little gift business allows us to set our own hours. My husband and I are both regular pioneering and he is working as a remote worker for Bethel.”

How did you get started making your wooden spatulas with Bible verses on them? Cary tells us, “My parents did some disaster relief work in Houston Texas. They got to work in the kitchen preparing meals for the volunteer workers rebuilding the homes of the brothers down there. My parents wanted to give gifts to the other kitchen workers while they were all still there, so that’s how the spatula idea was born. I had a Bible verse printed on the side. It said, “Taste and see that Jehovah is good. Everyone loved it!”

 

She continues, “Later on we were going to Israel for a special preaching campaign and wanted to bring gifts for the friends over there. I created engraved gifts for the campaign. This spurred me on to making my gifts available for sale upon our return from the campaign. Now we make the engraved spatulas them as souvenirs for BestLife Gifts.” 

 

Where did you get your idea for the picture frame that said, “Let Jehovah be the writer of your story?” Cary concludes, “We were watching one of the broadcast episodes where a couple in the full-time service faced the challenges of taking care of aging parents. They asked themselves the question, should we come out of the full-time service in order to help them, or not? The sister said they decided to let Jehovah be the writer of their story. This phrase touched me. I thought it would be an amazing phrase to put on a wall plaque.” 

 

What do you love most about you at work? She concludes, “I love the creative outlet. I like to come up with ideas and use my abilities to make something interesting to other people. It warms my heart to feel that I  friends all over the world even though I’ve never met them personally.”
