The CK Daily – Finding the Win in Survival Mode
Good Friday to all! This week was… a ride. It started with sick kids everywhere, which somehow turned into me getting sick too. Shocking, I know. There’s nothing quite like thinking you’re in the clear and then realizing you’re absolutely not.
Even so, we made it through. Somewhere between wiping noses and drinking way too much cold medicine, I realized I was handling it better than I thought I would. Also, people showed up in little ways, the kind that don’t make a big scene but definitely matter. It was a good reminder that some folks really are as solid as you think they are.
What kept me going was knowing there was a break coming. No school schedules, no running from one thing to the next, just some overdue family time. Nothing fancy, just slowing down, catching our breath, and resetting before life cranks back up again.
All in all, not the easiest week, but we survived. I’ll count that as a win.

Spread Joy with Us: CK to Match Donations for iServe Families
As we wrap up the week, we want to take a moment to highlight something that matters deeply to us at CK. Giving is a meaningful way to care for others, and it often brings joy to both those who receive and those who give. This season, we are honored to support a local Georgia organization we are connected to through board service: iServe Ministries.
iServe serves our local community by providing free food through a range of programs. Each Christmas, they also host a toy giveaway in partnership with several local organizations. A few days before Christmas, families are invited to a free breakfast where children can select gifts to celebrate the holiday. The need this year is greater than ever, and every gift makes a difference.
iServe Toy Giveaway Amazon Wishlist
CK is matching donations from the wishlist up to $10,000, either through additional gifts or a direct contribution.
As we head into the weekend and continue this season of giving, we encourage you to support a cause that is close to your heart. Sharing your time or resources can create meaningful connections and lasting joy.
