Handmades By Hands God Made

The other day while sitting at my desk/dining room table tying up some loose ends, I began to ponder slogans for my new business. Then, like a lightening bolt, it hit me! "Handmades by hands God made." It was brilliant, to me at least, because it involved a play on the word handmades, and more importantly, it reflected the fact that even in my business dealings, I wanted to always give honor to God. When G-Man (that's the hubby) got home from work, I was excited to show him what i'd been working on (i'd made up flyers incorporating the new slogan). He had to read it twice aloud before he got it, and then his response was: "Are you sure you want to mention God? It may be a turn off to some prospective customers." Hmmm... I thought. He may be correct, it might matter to some. It might even cause me to lose sales. What!?!? Could I afford that? I mean after all, I'm a new start up company that has dreams of someday expanding my biz beyond the scope of Etsy (no disrespect to Etsy, I appreciate them for making it possible for people like me to be the little engines that could). Well, really and truly, this was a no-brainer. The question was, could I afford not too? I love my hubby because he balances me out, and always offers a fresh (usually political) perspective. And, as opinionated as I am, he can normally get me to see things his way. But to him, my response was, "then if that is their motivating factor for not buying my products, then so be it." It was God who got me to this point, and God will take me beyond. Now, don't think that I am some holy roller, because truly i'm not--this year alone, i've missed church far more often than i've attended. But I do believe in God's power, mercy, and grace. Will this make me a better entreprenuer? Who knows, but, i'd like to think so. And guess what else? G-Man agreed. HA!
