      We still haven’t made many connections in our town, even after living here almost ten years. We’ve hosted many gatherings but rarely get invitations in return. I’ve travelled a lot and some places have such a “good feeling” for me others not so much. I know one can be happy anywhere, but lately, I’ve been feeling a pull to move on to one of these “good feeling” places. Thanks for the video. 🙏😊

      Thank you Shaye, I think after watching your journey on this channel, this is by far the best vlog. It is timely because I have had many days of feeling flat but going forward. Yes, with walks and fellowship. Harvesting, cooking and sharing. Even with this, I question my purpose - today before seeing your vlog, I decided it was exactly what I have been doing, right now is my purpose. Being in and part of my community. A group of us open our homes every month for a lunch - here at the farm we opened to volunteers to work but also take the produce they grow home. Put seed packets together so they can grow their own - not just food but flowers. All along the way I kept thinking - this is so small. Till one of our lunch ladies said to me that this fellowship saved her last year. I was so happy - then I realized, it has saved me too. On line communities save people - access to new ideas and places, people doing the same or different. We are miles apart - but we are not so distant to say - thank you and keep your home open, your heart open to us. We truly appreciate you and your family x

      Love to your family, such a hard thing. You are right though, it is a blessing to still have her. If she is able to remember, ask her to share stories of her early life. I have very fond memories of the tales my grandmother only told after she forgot the more recent past. Stories of my father as a very young child came back to her vividly then. Intimate memories of her courtship by my grandfather were fun to share with friendly "strangers" instead of feeling awkward while staring into the eyes of her children. Enjoy her as she is, happy mother's day to you.

      The Bible nowhere instructs believers in Christ to pray to anyone other than God. The Bible nowhere encourages, or even mentions, believers asking individuals in heaven for their prayers. Why, then, do many Catholics pray to Mary and/or saints such as Gertrude, Rita, Sylvester, Vincent, Agnes, etc.? Why do they petition the dead to request their prayers? Catholics view Mary and the saints as “intercessors” before God. They believe that a saint, who is glorified in heaven, has more “direct access” to God than we sinners do from our earthly vantage point. In Catholic thinking, if a saint delivers a prayer to God, it is more effective than our praying to God directly. This concept is blatantly unbiblical. Hebrews 4:16 tells us that we, believers here on earth, have direct access to God and can “approach the throne of grace with confidence.”

    Beautiful video. Thank you for modeling building community and giving to others. It is so important. Your friends who lost their daughter will never stop grieving, it will just change in it’s intonations over time. Never stop bringing up her name, as it will always be precious to them, and as many people in their lives do stop bringing up her name it will be healing for them to know that you continue to cherish her too.

    Thank you for sharing this! We've been the ones going through a hard season of loss in the past year, and our church has truly been the family of Christ to us. Even during lockdowns we've experienced hospitality in the form of dropped off meals, cards of encouragement in the mail, porch visits and so many prayers on our behalf. We have felt so surrounded by love and it's such a beautiful blessing.
    I love the hymn you quoted and recognized the words! Do you use the split-leaf Psalter?! I found you on TH-cam because of the gardening, but I've been delighted to discover that you also memorize the Westminster and listen to Sinclair Ferguson and now quote a Psalm in a familiar metre! So delightful to find kindred spirits!

    TEARFULLY GRATEFUL for this video. This walk thru the mountains has nurtured my weary soul today. And regarding the community table, you so eloquently put into words the vision for our home... trusting God that he will continue to make a way for it as now some burdens seem to slow us down. BUT- we are closer than ever. This video really captured the beauty of how much love goes into the food we prepare in love- as we pick, chop and get our hands all in. May our Father continue to bless the work of the hands and the pure desires of your heart.

    Our sympathies and prayers for the losses your friends have endured, but you are so right about not getting caught in the negative, about resetting our mind and hearts. Community is harder to find in some areas of the country, we live in MT and everyone is independent and hermit(ish) that getting people to come over for a dinner or supper is very hard, Sadly we long for community but in the day and age of social media, it seems those who participate get satisfied and those of who yearn for face to face contact are suffering. We keep trying and pray in these times people will see and understand just how important community truly is in all of our lives. Thank you for sharing your heart struggles and your feelings of togetherness.
