Karina Jones is a real-life ranch wife in the Nebraska Sandhills and one of the most highly sought-after speakers in the cattle industry nationwide!

Spread the love! Thanks for joining me today on Ranch Raised!

I’m usually behind on the 8 ball on sharing inspiring ideas with all of you. In short, I usually share the ideas after they happen. But, not today! Consider this your sign to spread the love this Valentine’s Day season. 

This idea was born at my kitchen table years ago when I needed something to keep my kids busy during a blustery cold winter to stave off cabin fever. With an abundance of crafting supplies on hand, it was time to channel their creative energy. It started out a way to ward off boredom, but it has since turned into a project of love and light.

My kids love making homemade Valentine’s Day cards for our local nursing home residents. This year we were also able to share some of their creations with a local “Valentines for Veterans” project promoted by our local 4-H program. I know that while my kids sit for hours over the winter making these cards it gives them a chance to reflect and pray over each card that it touches whomever receives it and puts a smile on their face.

So here is your sign! Look around your community and find a nursing home, veterans group, senior citizen center, or whatever group you want and help them spread the love during this Valentine’s Day season. They don’t have to have glitter and diamonds. They just need a heartfelt message and some stickers. Cards crafted at your kitchen table just may be the token of kindness that someone in your community desperately needs!

About Karina Jones 461 Articles
Karina ranches with her husband, Marty, and 3 daughters near Broken Bow, NE. She grew up in western NE, with roots also in southwest SD. The cattle industry and raising kids is her passion. Watching the cattle industry go the path that it has gone, she could no longer sit quietly at home checking cows, fixing fence, and doing all the everyday tasks wondering when some else was going to make it all better. As she became more active and outspoken on industry issues, she was asked to join the R-CALF USA staff in September 2020 as the Checkoff Petition Campaign manager. That position transcended into her current role as full time Field Director for R-CALF USA. You can hear her almost every Friday on Your Ag Network’s Hot Barn Report that is broadcast on 60 radio stations with coverage in 9 states, where she deep dives into cattle industry issues and highlights R-CALF’s work on industry reforms. Listen to Ranch Raised on a Your Ag Network hometown station or www.youragnetwork.com where she talks about her daily life on the ranch. Cattle producers are her people. She will meet you at the county fair, at the sale barn, or anywhere the dusty trail leads.
