The Real Reason For Easter

Hello friend!

When we think about Easter, sometimes it's easy to think about bunnies and chicks and fun family activities and maybe going to church as well.

But there is something fundamental that is easy to forget. Over 2,000 years ago, the power of God was displayed through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is so easy for me to forget what this means for you and me today.

When the busyness of life and the cares of everyday activities seem to fill my mind, I tend to lose focus of the things that are truly important. The Bible says to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.

As we go through spring and the coming summer with lots on our plates such as work, household chores, feeding your family healthy foods, and enjoying family fun activities, remember to stop and take time for what's truly important.

The souls of your children or the people around you are the only thing besides the word of God that we have here on Earth that will last through all of eternity. So let's purpose our hearts to invest in those precious souls. If we're seeking first the kingdom of God, we are investing in eternity.

For me, it's hard to clearly see what the kingdom of God is. Recently I've been inspired by this passage:

Romans 14:7

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Righteousness: Being right in relationship with the Lord Jesus gained only through total faith and dependence upon Christ. Righteousness is a gift that comes from the Lord to those who accept what Jesus has done for them by faith (Romans 5:17-18) while abiding by right living according to God's standard. (The Bible)

Peace: Knowing that God will take care of us no matter what happens.

Joy: Living a life of thankfulness and gratitude for what the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ can do in my life, freeing me from guilt, shame and bondage to sin.

I hope you found this uplifting. Please know that we often pray for our customers and their families, which of course, includes you!

Here are the links to some wonderful praise songs that I promised.

Praising Harmony Christ is Risen!

Praise and Harmony Christ is Risen Indeed!

May the Lord richly bless you with meekness, humility and softness of heart as we marvel in his glory and grace!

Know Your Beef: Understanding the Difference Between Our Premium and Standard Offerings

If you've been following our journey, you know that transparency and trust are at the heart of everything we do here at The Maker's Meadow. As more folks look closely at where their food comes from, I want to take a moment to explain the key differences between our Premium and Standard beef offerings. While both are far removed from conventional feedlot beef, they’re not the same—and that’s intentional. Here’s what you need to know: 🥩 Premium Beef Raised Right Here on Our Farm Our Premium beef is the gold standard—regeneratively raised by our own hands, with full control over every step of the process. These animals roam freely on diverse pasture, nurtured by nature. ✅ What It’s Free From: 🌾 GMOs – No genetically modified feed or seed. 💉 Steroids & Hormones – Never used to enhance growth. 💊 Antibiotics – Absolutely none, ever. 💉 Vaccines – Not administered; we focus on natural immunity. ☠️ Chemicals – No synthetic dewormers, pesticides, or sprays once they arrive on our farm. However, they may be exposed to chemicals as calves prior to arriving. 🌍 Regenerative Practices – Always improving soil, water, and wildlife health. 🟢 Best for: Those seeking the cleanest, most natural beef available—with full transparency and minimal environmental impact. 🍔 Standard Beef Sourced from a Trusted Farming Partner Our Standard beef is still raised with integrity—on pasture, with humane care—from Marksbury Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, who shares our commitment to better meat. But since it’s not under our direct stewardship, there are a few important differences. ✅ What It’s Free From: 🌾 GMOs 💉 Steroids & Hormones 💊 Antibiotics ⚠️ What We Can’t Guarantee: ☠️ Chemicals – Possible use of synthetic dewormers or pasture treatments. 💉 Vaccines – May be used as part of herd health protocols. 🟡 Best for: Customers looking for a high-quality, pasture-raised option at a more accessible price point, but who may not require the same level of purity as our Premium line. 🤝 Why Offer Both? Raising truly regenerative beef is deeply rewarding—but also labor-intensive and limited in scale. By offering both Premium and Standard options, we’re able to: Serve more families and communities Support other responsible farmers Stay true to our values of honesty and health Whether you choose Premium or Standard, you’re rejecting factory farming and supporting a future where soil, animals, and people thrive together. 💬 Have Questions? I’m always here to talk. When you know your farmer, you know your food—and I’m grateful to walk this path with you. 📧 Reach out anytime: support@makersmeadow.com Eat well and stay grounded.
