Looking Up...

Sometimes, I just want to look beyond the immediate. Outside of the place I sit to type, outside of the walls that shelter me as I drink good coffee in a great mug. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in the things I am called to, that I forget to look up.

Yesterday I was invited to a presentation for a group called :

Better Way Imports 

They have been active in the US for a while now, and have just come to Canada.

I've never purchased anything from them (although we are in the process of doing this) but because I couldn't attend the presentation, my daughters and I went to their website to have a look.

We were impressed by what we read, and impressed with the products they have to offer.

Here is what they have to say about who they are:

~*With Better Way Imports you have an opportunity to Do Good for women who need help. Help end sex trafficking and be a modern day abolitionist

~*By supporting meaningful jobs, Better Way Imports seeks to encourage not only a permanent way out of poverty and oppression, but also to provide an opportunity for hope, dignity and a life people in impoverished situations could never before have imagined. This is our vision: to provide a better way of helping people.

~*Better Way Imports seeks to improve the livelihood of many individuals through marketing in North America the unique gift and accessory items, and durable goods produced by companies with similar vision in developing countries. Better Way Imports will promote the glory of God through operating a business which seeks to advance the people with whom we associate

~*Better Way Imports is one avenue which provides that opportunity. By giving companies in poorer nations the North American market through which to sell their products, Better Way Imports allows the poor to help themselves. Better Way Imports is not a charity–we demand high quality products, fair trade with employees and sustainable business practices.


Here are a couple of products that caught my eye:

I love these coasters

It is a good thing to look up, and out. It pushes us out of our corner and into the arena of those also in need of Grace. It opens our eyes to ways that we can help be the hands and feet for change.

So, if you want a chance to look up today... take a moment to check out their website:
