Here’s a way Honey could begin her own devotional breadcrumb trail:
Cozy Devotional No. 6: “A Sifted Memory”
Scripture: Psalm 119:103 — “How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”
Honey was deep in the back room of the Book Nook, rearranging a stack of vintage cookbooks donated by a retired librarian, when something slipped from between the pages of a flour-dusted “Midwestern Bakes & Blessings” collection.
It was a notecard.
The handwriting stopped her breath — loopy, gentle, and unmistakable. Mona Carlyle.
She sank into the velvet reading chair and ran her thumb over the ink. The card read:
“A cup of flour, a teaspoon of kindness, and a willing heart —
bake with joy, serve with love. Always leave room for grace.”
There was no recipe on the card, just that gentle encouragement, but it hit Honey like a well-timed lyric from an old gospel tune.
Later, she tucked the card into a new devotional display at the front of the shop: a spot she’d quietly curated for months, full of hopeful passages, mini journals, and now, her own handwritten reflection cards.
She called the display Honey from the Rock.
And when Kit passed through the shop that afternoon and noticed it, she didn’t say a word. Just smiled and nodded.
Two women. Two hearts. Two breadcrumb trails of grace.
