Candles, About US

Sharing Gratitude is all about bringing blessings to you and to others...blessings of sharing, caring, giving, and reaching out to others with candles and sharing God's Love. We are a business, but we have a PURPOSE greater than the business!

Direct Sales: earning extra income couldn't be easier . . or more fun. With our Direct Sales and Home Party Program, you can sell our exceptionally-scented, gourmet candles directly to friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors, with a 40%-plus cash profit potential. Our program offers you a fun and easy way to earn extra income any time of the year.

Here's how easy it is...Our program features our Original Collection of candles in 12 popular scents; we offer a spring and summer menu of 12 scents and a second fall and winter menu of 12 different scents. To get started, each Independent Distributor can purchase a kit of sample candles when signing on with us, choosing our 12-candle sample kit. (Optional)

These samples allow friends, family members, co-workers, neighbors, etc. to see and "sniff" your exceptionally-scented candle products. They can then order what scents they have sampled in person, rather than ordering just by scent name or by what scent they “think” they might like.

My name is Jennifer/Jenny Ballinger; I have been in the direct sales industry and business development for 10 years. We have wholesaled our candle line to high-end boutiques for the past three years. Knowing what I know about the industry and the state of the economy, we have decided to tap into the trillion-dollar direct sales industry. We also wanted to give back to so many of our loyal buyers and customers - to give them a way to earn extra money, raise money for charity, get free candles, and share their Christian faith.

How will we do that? Through The Gratitude Candle Company, The Prayer Blankie, and the Sharing Gratitude Company which came about as I looked at my own healthy, active children, and thought "thank you, Lord", and "oh my gosh, what would I need if they weren't?" My answer was prayer and comfort . Thus the Prayer Blankie was conceived, and the mission of our candle company was born : to give back through the sell of our flagship product The Gratitude Candle. We knew that I could not do it alone, so that’s where you come in. We are launching a distributorship program that is affordable to everyone; we knew together we could provide these Blankies to children in hospitals all over the world. Through the promotion of our candles, the social aspect of sharing gratitude creates the vehicle in which we afford you the opportunity to share your gratitude, thankfulness, and love. Our Prayer Blankies are given to children in the hospital to comfort them in their time of fear and need.

Our Core Values

1. Doing all we do as unto the Lord
“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the

Lord . . .”
Colossians 3:17

2. Caring for others in a Christ-like manner
“Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. . . Share with God’s people who are in need.”
Romans 12:10, 13

3. Saying what we mean and meaning what we say
“Above all, my brothers . . . Let your ‘Yes’ be yes, and your ‘No’ no, or you will be condemned . . .”
James 5:12b

4. Taking ownership and acting responsibly
“Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.”
Matthew 25:21

5. Having the heart to minister while practicing sound stewardship
“Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.”
1 Corinthians 4:2
“And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us…”
Ephesians 5:2

6. Contributing to a work environment that fosters personal and professional growth
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”
Hebrews 10:24

“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” Ephesians 4:29

It is amazing to see what can take place when people connect with something on a heart level. Our families that we help are real people just like us who once only knew of someone who had cancer. In fact most of them never imagined their child would get sick and their world would be in a tale spin.

Consider your own child, or grandchild, friend, sister, or brother having to leave the life they once knew to fight the biggest battle they will ever face. What would they need? Prayer, Love and Comfort! And after all, are we all not brothers and sisters in Christ? A simple Gratitude Candle Distributorship can and will do so much to help us lighten the financial burdens of our brothers and sisters in Christ. What if we had the ability to make a living making a difference? Maybe we would do well to remember the words of Jesus who said "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."

Our vision will allow you to have the same opportunity of independence, and so we want to reward and help those who not only help us, but also have the courage to step out of the normal realm of income. Our leaders are the heart and soul of our company; without you the vision ends, but together we all can prosper.

"Above all we must realize that each of us makes a difference with our life. Each of us impacts the world around us every single day. We have a choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place - or not to bother."
-Jane Goodall
