Today marked the end of our first week open at Classic Cleaners. Between learning the ropes of a new business to tropical storm Fay what a week it was! We marked the special day (and our survival!) with an important ceremony. Our preacher Paul and his wife Carol came in to bless the business and building. This was important to Jonathon and I because we know none of what has been possible has been so without God. We want to glorify His name in everything we do and our business is no exception.
Brother Paul led us in prayer and then anointed our front doors with oil. He even had Griffin help with the oil! I so wanted to take a picture of Griffin kneeling with Brother Paul but thought whipping out a camera during a religious ceremony was a tad inappropriate. I'll try to capture the little fingerprint-smudged cross on the door tomorrow for you guys to see.
We had told Griffin ahead of time that we were going to be saying prayers and having to be quiet and that if he could listen and stay still and fairly silent there was candy to be had. He did fabulous and before Brother Paul could get that last "amen" out, Griffin knew it was coming and squealed "Candy!!"
Lastly we just want to thank all of our friends for their continued love, support, and PRAYERS. We could not have done it without you guys.
And now, the progression of Classic Cleaners!
