When I pray over my meals, I acknowledge that I we live in a fallen world by asking GOD to "bless this food and let it nourish our bodies as YOU intended". I leave the rest up to the LORD.
You are So beautiful & humble! Yes, life happens good & bad. It rains on the just & the unjust. We have the same problem with drift. We put our garden, much smaller than yours, in a more protected area. Also, we pray over any food that we eat, whether it’s what we grow or we buy. If Christian’s would remember that everyone is eternal & we’re to give mercy & grace this would be a better world! May God richly blessed you & your family on this journey we call life! 🙏🙌🏻❤️
Prayer is still more powerful!!!
While we can relate to the disappointment you feel with the drift of herbicide, you know it was not intentionally done. Choosing grace and mercy and moving forward is a huge lesson for your children and even your community. Some days, we just have to do the best we can with all life throws our wsy. I personally love your attitude. I look forward to Saturday mornings and a new video from you😊❤
Remember you can't have a TESTIMONY without the test! May God richly bless you.
PS, my 6 tomato plants are giving me more tomatoes than I can possibly use right now. My neighbors love me!!😅
YES! We have authority over all these things!
You Are exactly right about having our children share our tasks. I have experienced some amazing memories and learning experiences with my 2 children. Thank you for your talks of wisdom.. ❤
Thank you so much for your inspiration, it has really changed my mindset, and will help with future testimonies for others as well!
You are a wonderful example of how we should be grace filled. Thank you, Ruthann for reminding us what it truly means to be a servant of our Lord and savior.
Ruthann, you are a blessing to anyone who listen to you. I was a foreign missionary for many years and I have never heard a better sermon on how to live in the grace that was created for you!
Thank you for your faithfulness to our Holy Father and his Son
Nice post !🙏
Born and raised in Southern California but my fathers family live in the Toledo Ohio area. I spent all of my summers in Ohio growing up. Some of my best memories are when we’d travel the short distance to “Amish” town. Ever since I was a young girl, I envied the simplicity of the lives that culture leads; however it has been wonderful to watch your channel and see an old order Mennonite living differently now, but never losing your childhood roots. We can learn so much from the simplicity in life. Your children are so blessed to be raised by you and your husband. As much as you’re a gift to them, you’re just as much a gift to them ❤
Yes and now a gift to us who get to watch, learn, grow in so many ways! Love this family.
@@sharonp6762 AMEN, THANK YOU JESUS FOR HELP MEETS.😊
I call it going to Amish Land where I am in Michigan. Grain store, general store and deli, greenhouse they have to offer. Love there rye bread...yes I can make my own bread but love theirs. They are the sweetest and most unpretentious people. My favorite diversion is to go to Amish Land.
If more people (including me) had your attitude, the world would be such a better place.
I love how you are talking to us while also getting things done. It feels like visiting with a wonderful neighbor or friend, and reminded me to get busy with my own chores while I’m catching up on all my favorite TH-camrs. 😊
I hope I'm not the only person that heard Ruth Ann's message of grace and surrender.
Angry Christians pushed me to stop churching altogether. We can't take grace with one hand, while dealing justice with the other, and I can't find an equal yoke.
Above all, guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life.
I wont let grumpy Christians stop me from doing as God commanded.. do not stop the assembly of the brethren. Praying for your hurts.
I walked away from attending church for quite a while, too. I did not walk away from God and continued praying and reading my Bible. I found different teachers on the radio and would listen to them.
Then it was time for me to return to worshipping with others. So, I did. Then 2020 came along, and many churches closed their doors or required things I couldn't do. I said to God, "Lord, looks like it's just me and You again for a while." I felt the answer was, "No. I want you to be with other believers." So I told Him, I'd go if He'd show me where.
I went to a little church that I had tried to find earlier and couldn't. I walked in, they greeted me, I explained that I couldn't follow some of the mandates, so would that be a problem. They said, "Nope, we're just glad you're here."
They understood that I might stay only a short while but that was okay, too. They were just glad I stopped in.
To date, I have stayed. I learned a lot in the season where it was just the Lord and me and some people on the radio. I learned other things as I re-entered attending a regular meeting assembling with other people.
My prayer for you is that when it's time for you to once again assemble and worship with others, you find the place you need to be.
@@cbak1819 I need a verse where Jesus said to assemble with brethren. Where two or more are gathered rings true to my heart.
@@meganlalli5450 that's a kind prayer
That is an amazing insight we should be teaching children in public school. Every soul is eternal. Souls are connected forever through relationships. Relationships are built on shared experiences. Make them good! Mother Theresa said, “If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to one another.”
It’s our Spirit that is eternal. God is Spirit. We weren’t a soul until God breathed His Spirt into the physical body. The Spirit realm is where we were created to operate from.
I can’t wait to meet you in person when we get to Heaven. Don’t you know we will be in our glory gardening there? No bugs, no varmints, no chemical over spray. The weather will be perfect. Ooooh I can’t wait!
❤
You’re right in how we react to situations is so important for our children and everyone else.
You are so grace filled! I am sure the Lord is very pleased. You really turned a negative experience into a positive and are also leading by example.
good morning ruthann! i just noticed you are at 218,000 subs!!! how exciting for you. i have enjoyed watching your channel so much. its no surprise to see the growth. you are one of my 3 favorite youtubers. have a great week.
Well thank you!!! 🥰🥰
Ruth Ann you have such a beautiful heart. Your teaching your family and children are not the only ones you are teaching. I am sitting here crying for joy about how you have touched my heart and have given me so much to think about with my own behavior towards others that have done things to me that have caused me to harbor anger. Thank you for being so willing to share your thoughts with all of us.
Thank you Ruth Ann for your reminders to live in peace and thankfulness with those around us. We were always mindful that our children were watching what we did and how we respond to trials as opposed to what we say. They have both grown to trust God and live for Him. That is the most important thing.
Your message on grace and love is so important. I live in Wi and our land is surrounded by farm fields. The fields are owned by my sister and brother in law. They are definitely considered a small family farm, not big ag. They hire someone to come out and spray when needed, and only spray if necessary. Every year my brother in law tells them to be careful spraying around our property, and we have lost trees due to spray and sometimes I can tell we have had over spray in my garden. The sprayers really don't care, they just race through the field dumping the load and rushing off to the next field. My sister will tell me when they are coming to spray and often I do as you do and stand at the edge of my property while they spray as a reminder to be careful. I still consider my produce to be much healthier than store bought food even if it has gotten hit with spray a bit. We do the best we can and rely on God to do his will. I pray for Gods blessings and protection on my garden, and thank him for the food we eat. It is all in His hands.
There is nothing better than to follow Jesus’ teachings and what a good example (gifts) you’re giving to your children. Thank you God for this wonderful woman!
You go girl! We can’t ever let the enemy rob of us of our Joy!
Hi Ruth Ann, we met at the Homestead Festival in Columbia. David and Cindi with the campervan. I told you that day that you had the most beautiful testimony and this video just reinforced your testimony. What a beautiful child of God you are!! We are to love one another just as Jesus loves us. Thank you! Oh, one of these days we will drive our campervan to Iowa!
You have spiritually blessed me this morning. I believe everything you taught on character and God’s sovereignty. Thank you and thank you Lord for using Ruth to encourage us about you, your creation and most of all relationships.
Your Christian beliefs, common sense and knowledge are gold. Your videos are a breath of fresh air. Maybe someday God will bless you so that you and Alvin will be able to grow some peach trees and enjoy your own fresh peaches. May God bless and keep you and your family.
I love that you are walking with Christ! Taking Communion to my patients in rehab and the hospitals brings me joy. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 ❤️ Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 ☦️ 💙
at 19:00 ... Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! Amen!
Understanding that your accountability to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ is about the eternal souls of our fellow human beings when they are being human beings is premium.
Accepting that Father God knows what we have need of is such a blessing to yourself, your family, your community ... in other words, trusting that God knows and cares and CAN protect ... is HUGE!
I am absolutely thrilled to listen to your testimony and the relationship you have with our Lord that not only gives you peace and joy, but is passed on to all who come in contact with you. It is such a joy and encouragement to me to hear a teaching on temporal and eternal differences.
Thank you for so kindly guiding others to The Truth. I so often become frustrated and angry with the pests in my garden ( pill bugs destroyed many of my brassicas and 90 % of my strawberries) this year. It was hard for me to accept. I have told myself, “ this is a fallen world” which I fully believe and yet I find acceptance difficult.
In all of what you shared today the relationships with those our God loves as much as he loves me is such an important truth. God Bless you and your family, I see you as peacemakers.
I lost almost all my tomatoes to some kind of disease shortly after they started setting fruit. It has been so disappointing. I started some new plants for the fall, but I'm still sad. My potatoes all were killed by pests too.
@@audreyvann5336 I’m so sorry, I know how you must feel. I’m hoping you will have success with the rest of your crops.
Good message for needed to hear. Nowhere is perfect and the people around me are what’s important. Thank you!
Choosing peace and joy makes a beautiful life; loved your way of living through life’s struggles.
I love your perspective. Giving the farmer grace and recognizing him the way you did helps us all to shine a light on situations in our own lives. Thank you for all you do. God’s blessings on you and your family and your beautiful garden. I always learn so much from you. ❤
As a woman gardening in big ag country I also deal with chemical drift. The man who farms the ground around us doesn't own it. He does let me know before he has his fields sprayed but that doesn't change how it might affect my garden! I've learned to deal with it but your video reminds me that while it angers me I have no control over it and I need to let that go and just be thankful I'm able to grow a garden and hope that food is not affected by those chemicals! Thank you for always sharing your faith and outlook on life❤
What an incredible example to all that is fortunate enough to cross your path. An amazing spirit, an incredible soul. God Bless you sister
I am the wife of a farmer in SW Minnesota. We grow corn and soybeans and all of the corn is put into our hog operation. It is our livelihood. It is how we pay the bills, support missionaries in the USA and abroad and our church.
I sat on the porch tonight and replayed this for my husband. Drift happens, to us and to others from us. Not on purpose. Not because we are spray happy or want to use all the chemical. We would not have a corn crop if we did not spray the minimum.
And yes, there is no place to live that is perfect in this fallen world. I look at the Caribbean tonight. They are bracing for a cat 5 hurricane….on an island I visited two friends on a cruise last January. While those islands are beautiful and our tour guide was so kind, he has his own set of challenges today.
Until Jesus returns we will continue to face hardships.
Thank you so much for being filled with grace and kindness in your words. Thank you for demonstrating Jesus.
I have to admit that I was a little afraid to watch this, but so happy to know that you have the right perspective.
My husband “watches” most of your videos with me (passively LOL and not always willingly) but today he walked in while you were talking about what’s eternal and what really matters and he was like “she’s PREACHING today! Amen!” ♡ I teared up a little while you were talking about gardening with littles, feeling quite convicted, because as a mom of two little boys (4 and 1.5 yrs old) it’s such a struggle to keep them from trampling my plants. But what’s ETERNAL are their little souls, and setting the example of what patience looks like is more important fruit than any that I could ever grow myself. “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.”
RuthAnn, I love your message in today's video. You are such a sweet, smart person. God bless you and your beautiful family. I wish I lived closer so I could go to homesteading conferences and meet you!
Amen Sister!! This fallen world is all around us so we have to deal and trust in God to sort this out😊
You are beautiful and loving!
May Our Father continue to bless you, your children and grandchildren 🕊♡
Many blessings
Hi Ruth Ann ❤ I really enjoyed this video. I love what you have said and it really resonates with me. We live in the suburbs and properties are so close that you can't avoid anything. The love we put into our food and sharing the harvest with our neighbors is what's more important. We find your videos so inspirational and authentic.
Love from the Green family in South Africa
❤ you are so right about setting the example for your kids. My mom always flipped out and freaked out and now i catch that behavior in myself. She was a devout catholic but didn’t have 1/100th of your calm and loving demeanor. Well done! Your kids are lucky.
I know what you are talking about and I understand. My mom was the same way; devout Catholic and always overacting about even the smallest situation. My mom was a control freak. I was too for a very long time.
@@user-wj3ix6nz9j its nearly impossible to overcome that ingrained behavior. If we'd had a good father around I think her behavior would have been more moderate and calm.
"Our garden is not eternal." WOW! Such a simple statement, yet so powerful. ❤
I'm glad you could put things into perspective for yourself and us. You are a kind and beautiful person.
RuthAnne, you are the truest most effective speaker to listen to, bringing value and confidence to the future. Thanks so much for intentionally speaking on your responsibility to your family and also the society we all live amongst. You have shared with us all the pro and cons of living in an imperfect world, while managing all possibilities toward growth and sustainability.❤
Ruth Anne you are a gift from God and the message is as good as any Sunday morning service. You are making a difference in the lives of many. Thank you for your service.
Ruthann, you are wise beyond your years. God has has certainly directed your path to this platform. I am extremely grateful of your reminders & example.
As always, your wisdom is straight from our Savior. Your eyes are set above and you are such a good example. It's not the easy path to take, but it is the right one. You are the Proverbs 31 woman.
Mrs. Zimmerman, this is by far one of my favorite videos you've posted. You're so right. A new favorite saying in my home is "few things in life are permanent". We cannot let things overtake our lives that we can't control, and/or which can be changed if we change our minds. I LOVE when you said relationships are not on that list. And I love that you spoke about another phrase I love, which is "more is caught than taught". You're a great leader and I'm sure you're a wonderful mother and grandmother! ❤
Hi RuthAnn and sweet family! I told my children that life is moments and I totally agree that life is about teaching our children by example so they learn to be and do better themselves.
I hope you all have a very blessed weekend!
Ruthann you're such a blessing to listen to every Saturday morning. Pray over your food, which I know that you do, cause you know that God is Good and will take care of you, your family and your farm. Blessings from the mtns of VA. 🙏🏼❤️🫂
I have to say, you touched my soul with your message. Thank you, I needed to hear that. Im usually a kind person, but my son was in a terrible car accident and on life support last week and I have been blaming others and honestly i have been spiteful when i should be thankful my son is alive and healing everyday.
I live in Central Ohio and have a similar climate as you. This year i purchased a polycarbonate greenhouse from Amazon and started tomatoes in march in pots and transferred them into the garden in the middle of May. My tomatoes are already ripening. I also started broccoli, cabbage, and lettuce directly in my raised beds in my greenhouse in February since they are cold weather veggies and have been able to harvest and reseed a few times now.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and faith
Praying for a complete healing for your son. 🙏🏼❤
@annesmith2574 thank you
I just love your perspective on things. This is what real Christianity looks like. Very easy to discern, confirm, and see fruit. Thanks for the life lessons and online fellowship.
I appreciate what you had to say in this video. We all would be much better off physically and emotionally if we took to heart our great commission of loving our neighbors.
Ruthann, you were absolutely sent to us from God. You are a blessing to us all and we are the lucky ones to listen to your words of wisdom. You are amazing!!! Thank you so very much for your attitude, your wisdom, and love of your family and lifestyle. I’m truly blessed to have found your channel because you have already taught me so much about so very many aspects of life; not just gardening, but more importantly, about life. You are an angel 👼 on earth for sure. Thank you so very much 👼🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
Your attitude is that of a Godly woman and I appreciate your example of being merciful and forgiving towards others ❤ Thank you for being a great example in a fallen world!!!
Praise God for believers spreading His love, grace and kindness through TH-cam videos! It fills my heart with such joy to watch your videos and learn so much from you, and to hear you spreading God’s love and grace through difficulties is so wonderful. May God bless you, your family and your garden. I look forward to learning more from you!
We have lived in many states, and you are so right no matter where you are there is always something. Thank you for reminding us that we can't control everything.
Thank you for this. I have been in such overwhelm. I’m 66. I take care of my 45 yo mentally handicapped son and my 86 yo father. I have zero help. That in itself is a full time job. I’m grateful everyday that I have the ability to do it. But I also have upkeep, housekeeping, daily chores, and everything else that goes along with life to handle alone. And everyday it gets a little more challenging. I needed to hear this message. Thank you for following what the Lord gives you.
I will keep you in my prayers. You have a heavy burden on you 🤪
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What a great attitude! So many could benefit from this. Yes it is a fallen world with so much negativity people are faced with daily. Most times this is how they process the days beginning-with negativity. Not many even realize there is an eternity, which is so sad. God has left us here for us to be an example and promote The gospel to assure an eternity with Him! Thank you Ruth Ann for your channel, especially to be an inspiration of your faith and the love you show in everything you do!
You are an amazing example to us all! I am 70 years old and I learn so much from you!!❤️🙏🏻
Ruth Ann I love your channel , your kind talks with love and recipes. Your time is precious and I want to thank you for sharing it and your life. I’m a Christian as well and I appreciate your sharing that. God bless you and your family.
Thank you Ruth Ann for all your videos on recipes and gardening and the love you put into these videos. God Bless you'll
Listening to you brings so much joy to my heart. You are so full of wisdom. I appreciate your videos! Enjoy your guests : )
Grace filled…love this. There’s a built in switch within me that I see lacking in many of today. 😢 Some will try to bulldoze it out of children and adults.
Bless your Joy!
Thank you for the talk.
What a beautiful reminder to watch our reaction and attitude! And agreed that even though you are dealing with herbicide it is still better than what you can purchase at the store. Thank you for sharing with us, I love these garden videos.
Wow, Ruthann, speaking to my heart this morning! You are a treasure. Whether you are making cheese, or canning tomatoes, or milking a cow...you speak in such gentleness and wisdom. Thank you, dear lady. Wish I could say hello at Murray Fest, but a bit too far for us here in Ohio, especially during the busy summertime. Many blessings, Marie
What a beautiful message ❤️ I live in zone 3 of northern Minnesota and the gardening season is really short plus I live on the edge of a pine forest so it’s sandy. I’ve bought loads of soil, hauled manure, brewed organic fertilizers and amended the soil with compost I make, it’s a lot of labor but I love it. Although the dream of a peach tree or growing a watermelon isn’t going to happen, God always somehow provides for me ! There is no perfect place here on earth except being near God, he is our refuge !!!
I pray your garden will flourish but I know God will provide 🙏🏻
Blessings
So happy to know there is a perfect world and garden in heaven!!! I can't wait!! I love digging in dirt. Something I have done since childhood.
Gratitude us huge! So many focus on negative, and yes, I get it--easy to do today. Living in gratitude makes the world a far different place for you and yours :)
You are the most intelligent person I have found on you tube. Everything you explain to us makes so much sense and is so much usable in our daily lives. Thank you for sharing your life with us ❤
This is the first time I have ever seen a clothespin bag like yours. Did you make it? It sure is a time saver for you. If you were here, you would have trouble with run off from those living above you on the same hill. I wanted Dutch White Clover in my yard. I sowed the seeds (which wasn't easy). Now I have Dutch White Clover in my yard and so does everyone living below me. I wish all that clover was living in my yard. One of my neighbors thanked me for sowing the clover. He told me, "We wouldn't have a yard if you hadn't planted that clover." The neighbor who lives above me keeps bees. He and his bees love the clover. I did not intend to start any clover in any yards other than my own. Clover improves the soil (so that real grass can live on the same ground). It also cuts down on the mowing during hot weather.
No apologies needed. Wonderful lessons from the disappointment you experienced. Thank you for modeling and teaching us. Val C ❤️🙏🏻
Watching this video and I’m SOOOO NOT DISAPPOINTED. You’ve truly encouraged me in the Lord. Thank the Lord for you my sister in Christ. Send o g prayers and love 💕
This is one of my favorite videos from you. Thank you for sharing your garden your family and your sweet spirit ❤ You are a gift from God.
Good morning dear friend. Watching you gardening out in the fresh Iowa air is so calming. I actually got two tomatoes from my patio tomatplant. There are many coming behind them. It sounds so silly but this is my first time growing anything. I can’t wait to make my tomato sauce to can. I have to go back a rewatch your videos. You have such a pure love of God. I love your videos thank you so much. Have a great week.❤
Good morning ☀️
Watching you hang your laundry reminds me of my childhood 😊
I wish I had my clothesline back!! My landlord pulled it out 2 years ago.
Totally agree with you about praying first and foremost... trusting God for his wisdom and provision in all things! Blessings Kiddo!🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿💚🙏💕
Yes. Absolutely a humble approach and great reminder to me to put my focus on eternal things of God! God bless you!
Thank you Ruth Ann - I always love to hear your heart....you bring a huge smile to our Father 😊😊😊!
Lovely video and a well learned attitude to disappointments in our lives. I love your attitude and your children have a great role model to teach them about life. God Blessing to you.
Amen to your beautiful way of seeing life through our Lord! Thank you for all of your TH-cam videos. God bless you & your family!
I wanted to go to Murray Fest to thank you in person, but my schedule was already set when I discovered it for the year & along with thanking Charles Dowding. I have followed him for organic gardening for decades.
Again, thank you for your beautiful soul & the way you train up your children!😊
I am going to be listening to this over several times and taking notes! You have a gift for explaining how to deal with emotional loss from a Biblical perspective. I want this to be kept close to my heart so I can be a blessing to others as you have blessed me. Thank you Ruth Ann!!❤
Thank you, Ruth Anne.. you pass along wisdom and grace beyond your own. Truly God is using you as a messenger. Those who live near you are truly blessed beyond measure. I learn so much from you... well beyond cooking, canning and gardening. May God continue to bless you and yours.
Mrs Z, you are a humble soul, that is a God given Gift. You pass that on to your family and us in your living example! Absolutely beautiful! We all dont have that, but we can see and hear yours. And learn from it. Indeed, God is good.🙏❤️🙂
Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 congrats on the 218,000 subscribers RuthAnn!
Thank you!!!! You are so kind to notice!!!
You are correct about living in a fallen world. Once we understand that it helps us in our reactions to what is going on in the world.
Thank you for this timely “Ted Talk”. It was exactly what I needed to hear this morning.
Thank you Ruth Ann for your Faith. Every day I go into my little garden that's just for me, I ask The Presence to dissolve and consume all and any negative influences that may have come to the vegetables over the night (thinking mainly of chem trails). I ask for all His Love and Mercy to come into the plantings and then into me. Then I remind myself to be humble before Him, positive to the world, and forever in the Service to Life.
Such great lessons we learn through adversity! Your response to this hard thing honors Christ and influences others to honor Him. Our life is about sharing the gospel. His light shines brightest in dark places. It’s what makes us different from the world. All glory to Him!! Thank you Ruthann!
Yes, kids need chores and being productive with parents at their side.
❤ I love your attitude! Great message! Thank you for that reminder. ❤
Perhaps contacting the owner and asking for enough monetary help to plant the bushes, fence or whatever to protect your crops.
Thank you for this video.
I needed this because of some things going on in my own garden.
Your message made me think of this verse: “You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.”Isaiah 26:3
I love 💕 your thoughts and perspectives on God’s Eternal. 😊 You just showed me a much better way to view grace and mercy by looking at the eternal picture.
God Bless you and your family!
Yes I totally agree ❤❤❤ thank you so very much for everything you said ❤❤❤ you are awesome 🥰
Yes,Ruthanne we do live in a fallen world. My challenges are bugs that eat my vegetable plants in containers. I fight them as much as I can naturally. I appreciate your outlook. It encourages me to take heart. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you for your attitude! And yes, there is no perfect place, my garden has just poor soil, no other problem. God bless you!
I've been growing veggies and fruit for 30 years. Sometimes I get a large yield and sometimes not. It's a blessing from God that he supplies our needs. You are such a humble person,and I think we all can learn from you,Ruthann. Great video!
❤ i love your gardening videos. The kitchen ones are good too but i adore the garden ones! When you said the women always ended up in the garden when their friends came to visit really struck a chord with me. ❤
I also have one more question (I had to go through this twice) in order to ask a horticultural/agricultural question:
If the herbicides (and chemicals) are designed to help your neighbor produce a good crop, why is it a danger to the home gardener? Why did it affect your tomatoes?
I love that part! The kids at Vacation Bible School ... When I was growing up, I LOVED Vacation Bible School. To hear of a VBS still operating as it did when I was a kid is WONDERFUL! There was a lot more going on in those days (that I grew up in) that just fun and games ... not enough room here to explain that statement deeper - - but, being a part of a community with godly adults makes a BIG difference in the lives of those children who grew up in the daytime VBS, versus those that only operate one week in the evenings. (But, I digress) ...
I am learning so much through your videos - - not only about life and living, but also about our daily, moment by moment walk with our Savior. I am encouraged because similarities of daily events and your godly advice and testimony are things that God has been working out in my life. I truly mean: Praise the LORD! Hallelujah! Amen!
May your tribe increase.
I love your message. Farming isn’t for the faint of heart. Love to you and your family.
You are a great ambassador for God. There are so many life lessons in this video. Continue to be grace filled and full of God's joy, especially during adversity. It's during those times that a person's your true heart and nature are revealed. You've shown us and your family how to keep things in perspective, be kind, and forgiving. Well done!
I am humbled and blessed today..thank you so much ! God is good and I thank Him for people like you.
You are so welcome
I shared this on my facebook page and, believe you me, I do not do that very often, but your sharing of your experience and relating it to "our reason for living" is so very important for all of us to hear at this time in history. May God Bless you and yours.
❤I am praying that as God is moving me back close to where I grew up. I love to garden, I have since I was very young!!! God knows me and will place me according to who I am.
I noticed your name
@@conniespillman5157 yes, this is my maiden name and I am from Yadkin County, NC
@@ruthspillman546 It's my married name. From Ohio.
Your "TED talk" richly blessed me. I'm in a new place, which is actually where I grew up, and have been trying to decide if it's a place to plant roots or not. I've been thinking a lot about Jeremiah 29, and the fallenness of the world and just the imperfections of everything. Everything you said really dovetails a lot with what's been on my mind, so thank you. Our season isn't as short as yours, but is shorter than a lot, so I should be grateful! Just on a practical level, you opened my eyes about the cold winters killing so many garden bugs.
You are teaching the truth! In our fallen world, it is important to watch our actions and attitudes. Thank you for serving God through social media.
What you are saying is so true! I really hope people are listening to what you are saying. What you are teaching your children is so important. I'm sure at times, because we are human, acting the right way is NOT always easy. I still hope your tomatoes will pull out of it, especially since you have a shorter growing season. God Bless you and your family!
