I began painting 30 years ago on wood craft items. It was something my husband and I could do together. He would cut out the pieces, and I would paint them. So fun to give as gifts.

I discovered hand painting on candles in 2000 and began giving them as gifts. Everyone enjoyed receiving them and urged me to sell them. So, the story of Covenant Lights began.

I sell mostly from my website www.covenantlights.com, but have also sold at local craft shows and shops, eBay, and now on Etsy.

The name Covenant Lights has great significance for me.
I love Jesus, and because of the price He paid for us by dying on the cross for our sins and raising from the dead, He has made a New Covenant (a promise or a vow) with us. He tells those of us who have chosen to place our trust in Him alone for our salvation ...

"I am the Light of the World.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness,
but will have the light of life."
(John 8:12)

Therefore, the name Covenant Lights.
"Covenant" for God's promise and "Lights" because I began my business with hand painted candles.

I place a little card underneath each one of my candles with this Bible verse, and it excites me that hundreds of candles have been purchased and given as gifts with this verse included.

My hope is that many will place their faith in Jesus,
and make their personal decision to follow the Light of the World as I did in the midst of a life crisis 40 years ago.
