      You too!?!?!?! What we witnessed was one of the most beautiful moments of real love from a babe! GOD is so amazing, even His creations express genuine love, even a babe! Parents need to give real comfort when
      their child(ren) are so hurt within their heart(s), because they are unable to cope well, unless the parents take the moment seriously, and it IS serious! It's how you teach love and hope to a child, and today we are seeing the sad results of child abuse in most every news headline!

    Oh no, Xander, Don't cry sweetie. Now I am crying too. I was not expecting that reaction from him. I was not expecting a camper either. Girl, This video was just everywhere. So happy for the new camper and you getting your house done. It is so exciting when you finally get to something you have waited so long for. Blessings to you and your family.

    SOOO precious Xander could put his head on his Dad's chest and pour out his heart! (Which thankfully healed very quickly when he saw the new RV!!! ) That boy definitely loves his camping and his Mom and Dad. You guys did a great job on that camper. Hope the new owners get a lot of joy out of it and so glad you can pay to have renovations done and your husband can enjoy his family in the evenings! Well worth a loan.

    It is always so hard to let go of items. I think it’s the memories we attach to them that makes it so. Xander’s reaction was touching. I cried right along with him...I know...I’m a mess sometimes. I know the sale was hard, but God wanted to make sure you had what you needed for the dog emergency. All will work out in the end. Your family is a precious gift from God to us all. Thanks for sharing how He works in your life.

      @newmoon54 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You too!?!?! Hehehe! Parents MUST take very very serious those moments when a child bares his heart,
      and soul to you! It's because his little heart is feeling real, actual pain, just as real as what we adults experience!!
      He hasn't the coping ability yet,, to see the hope, the comfort that is his,, unless parents share his sadness and grief,
      and express it with him. Sadly,, too many men (so-called!) are brutal with their child especially a boy!
      God Almighty created every child, and HE gave them emotions and the ability to express them, NOT WHEN WE
      THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE,, but when the child thinks and feels that it's time!!! Mental health experts have
      known for YEARS that children abused by brutish adults virtually always repeat that same abuse on their children!!!
      What you witnessed was a very beautiful, expression of love,,,, by a babe,,, the scriptures say: "out of the mouths of babes .... comes wisdom!" Cheers!!!! Sonny.

    What I loved from this video....You showed how you both lovingly brought this back to life, you put lots of work into it, now you can make some money for other important things, but the biggest thing I got...you don't know how great of a thing you did for Xander. so many kids now days hollar, scream and get everything they want. They never experience loss unless it is an animal, then the parent runs out and gets another one. You taught him that sometimes we don't get what we want and it's ok. Some kids act like their world is collapsing because their favorite doll was sold out, or their favorite truck or they don't get that kids meal they wanted. I just think it was wonderful how your husband explained it to him, but you let him experience losing something he wanted. I know this may sound weird to younger people, (I'm a lot older than you), but you gave your son a big learning lesson.

      thanks for that! And yes, I agree with you although I hadn't looked at this experience as a learning process for him, so thanks! Blessings!

    Poor Xander was attached to the camper. He’ll have some fun times in the new one!

      yes, he gets attached to everything we own. (: but he was soon happy again.

    I am a city girl from NYC and love your videos. I use to camp in PA as a teenager with my church and I can’t tell you how much the scenery does for me every time I watch one of your videos.

    Hey Mennonite Mom,
    What an emotionally loaded clip. I get it, the reasons for the sale of your camper, but what got to me was
    Xander's emotional reaction to the camper being driven away. And then Xander was happy again with a super duper caravan.
    Hahaha, you should be a film director?
    PTGL Amen Amen!

    • @theMennoniteMom

      LOL, the emotions of a three year old come and go with the wind! (: LOL. He got over it soon.

    I'm sure it's hard to give up something you've worked so hard on, but you've given someone else a brand new lifestyle and you have a brand new challenge with your new camper. Sometimes change is good :-)

    • @theMennoniteMom

    Oh, bless that sweet baby boy! Your newer camper looks to be similar to ours, but we don't have a bunk house. That'll be great for Xander and his little cousins. I did mostly cosmetic updates in our camper. It's a 99 Jayco and is in great shape. I'm excited to see what you do with yours!

    • @theMennoniteMom
      @theMennoniteMom  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      that's great! Sounds very nice! Yes, we were really happy to get one with bunk beds so it's more practical for a family. Can't wait to show you!

    Hello from Okinawa, Japan! We are heading home to the USA next month to start our full time Rv adventures. We just found your channel and subscribed. Ginger went to a Mennonite church in Georgia before. Lovely people. What a nice little motor home! You fixed it up nicely. Oh how sad! He sure cheered up quickly. Looking forward to seeing more. God bless you!

    • @theMennoniteMom

    Great job on the RV and glad you were able to get a travel trailer with some left over. I feel the same about preferring a pull behind type because you are free to drive where you need to once you park it and also with the RV if one's motor was to go then your place to stay goes to the shop as well which kinda ruins the vacation. Happy camping in the new one. Stay safe.

    • @theMennoniteMom

      yes, so true! I am excited to try it out!

    Zander was sooooo sad☹️he put a lot of work into the camper too. But, the new camper will be fun too and I get your point about not having a vehicle when you get to campsite. Enjoy, I’m sure Zander will love it too!

    • @theMennoniteMom
      @theMennoniteMom  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      yes, I think, too he will! He got over it quickly.

    Oh that was hard to watch! Poor baby. I’m sad coz I was with you every step of the way when you renovated that camper. You were and are, incredibly inspiring in your ‘can do’ attitude.
    Your hubby was lovely with Xander - such a caring and loving dad. But hopefully the new trailer (?) will be as much fun. xx

  • @dhines3804
    @dhines3804 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow! I can’t believe you sold it after all your hard work! I certainly understand the reasons. We had an all in one camper and once you’re settled in at the campsite, it is inconvenient to go somewhere. Poor Xander - I wanted to cry with him! But - the new camper looks like it’s a better fit for the family! I’m looking forward to the changes you make with the camper and your home! Change is hard but you will make the best of it, I’m sure!

    • @theMennoniteMom
      @theMennoniteMom  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      thank you! Yes, it is a better fit! I'm anxious to try it out! Thanks for being here!
