"But for Grace go I" was something that my grandmother taught me many years ago and one that I often use to remind myself to change my thoughts. Thank you for sharing.
Bible says the world grows cold and it is. I am proud of you sweet Lady for voicing your feelings, not just for you but others too. Mostly I am proud of you for speaking out your relationship with Jesus. So many are afraid to mention Him, so He will not mention them to the Father. ❤❤🙏🙏❤❤
May God bless and help you dear friend Thank you for sharing from the heart...I really can relate my heart strings have been being tugged on lately in my personal life
Thank you for sharing, I wished I could send you some pictures of our Garden what I think would cheer you and the viewers up. Again Rachel thank you and I believe you’re a wonderful woman and a inspiration to me and my husband 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing, Rachel. I’m so sorry your friend is suffering and send healing, warm, virtual hugs to both of you. Going to the woods is healing, particularly if you can go alone, when something is laying on your heart. The feeling of being nestled, held, really, by the natural world is so healthy. Just allowing yourself to be with whatever is happening is freeing. Loved and agree with your kind, gentle message. Be well my friend. You don’t even know me, but you feel like someone who would be my friend. 🙏
Rachel, thank you for this lovely reminder of God's grace! Your cabin property is beautiful. Your strength and persistence are honorable and beautiful!
Everyone is on their own personal path. Each of our lessons and experiences are a teaching tool. Your lessons will be unique to you. Help others where and when you can, but don't take away their lesson. It's not our place to judge. I carry this message all the time. ❤
Rachel I get it…I understand everything your saying and I believe the same and I couldn’t have said it better. I’m not real articulate….I’m a wordy southerner. Sometimes it’s hard to put things into words but you did a great job! Love from Florida
My husband says it's so much easier to be nice and kind to ppl than it is too be judgemental or disrespectful. He is 100% right. It costs you nothing to be kind and give someone a smile. We have no idea what struggles they may be dealing with. Your word of kindness may be what helps them get through their day. It may give them the strength to move forward and recognize that angels come in all forms. As an example, I was at the store and I was picking up some half n half There was a somewhat older woman next to me. She had the door open and was calling back into the cooler area to see if there was someone there to help her. Clearly she needed help with something. I asked her what she needed. There was a gallon of almond milk that she couldn't reach. I bent down and got it for her. She was so thankful! I made the comment that I should've said a prayer while I was down on my knees-her response- God hears you no matter what! It cost me nothing to help her she sure blessed me with that memory and reminded me that there are so so many ppl who believe as I believe. Angels, indeed, come in all forms. Blessings to you Racheal and your friend. 🙏♥️
Thank you for your message today. I needed to hear this as I was just verbally attacked today for standing up for my granddaughters rights. I wanted to scream back at the person but I didn't and walked off in tears and later thought what a weak spined person I was. Now I see by keeping my thoughts to myself and not acting as they did I made the right choice. Yes the tears kept flowing for a bit but I prayed for the other person. And yes my granddaughter is in a safe place tonight
Love you Rachel! Thank you for sharing your heart and keeping the standard not only for what it means to be a caring and kind human being, but a follower of Christ ❤️🙏🏻
God bless you Rachel for speaking truth and about this subject! We are all broken and it is by the grace of God in my life that I get through it ( w struggles & pain) … Silence is a gift on so many levels & through guarding our tongues we learn so very much ( me included) . How terribly we can be to one another!! A dear friend shared a fantastic little book with me: 30 Days To Taming Your Tongue by Deborah Smith Peggie’s. WOW- a true eye opener! God bless you Rachel & everyone one this channel! 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻 WOW-
Ah Rachel. I could really relate to your message. I recently had someone hurt much feelings and it effected me to the core. So painful and I cannot talk it out with this person. My technique is to write letters to this person and burn them rather than mail them. This process took me nearly 2 weeks and six letters to bring all of my feelings to a place where I could deal with them. Maybe this will work for someone else.
Oh Rachel. Thank you so much. I needed this, this morning. We have to be a Jesus example for the people who need it the most. We just have no idea what demons someone is fighting. I do try to live by this but I fail miserably sometimes. The consequence could be them hearing our hateful words and ending their lives because it was just the last straw. Be kind. Thank you for your obedience Rachel.
Rachel, I am 57 and my husband and I recently retired. We thought, we finally did it. Worked hard, saved and planned for this day. Well our anxiety is so high with how our our government, and world is creating so much hate and it is affecting us all financially and emotionally. It is so hard to enjoy retirement with so much anxiety around us. I try, believe me I try hard to not let it bother me, but inside I have fear of what is to come.
Thank you for sharing Rachel. I'm sending your friend lots of love and strength, to get through her dark times. 💕 As someone, who has gone through very tough and dark times I can say, it is a blessing to have a friend like you on your side through all of this. You are a very kind person. Love to you and your family and friends.
"There but for the Grace of God go I" is something I have tried to live by. I'm not always successful, but I try. Your words spoke to my heart... thank you for sharing. I will keep your friend (and you) in my prayers. Bless you ((hugs))
Yes, we all need to have more empathy,love and kindness towards each other. I always tell myself do no harm. I'm glad you gave your blueberries a new home and I love the river.
Rachel, I'm sorry your dear friend is going through such a difficult trial in her life right now. I pray that the peace that surpasses all understanding come down upon her situation and that she is set free the pain and bondage afflicting her life. You mentioned the word "trauma" and oh boy, the Lord certainly knew what he was doing when he laid some things upon your heart. Trauma can be so deep-rooted in a person, in a family, in a society, that we rarely see the "good" from all the pain that we deeply hide. Kindness is the answer. Kindness and prayer. Thank you for sharing your heart and heeding God's calling to speak. (HUGS from Arkansas)
Rachel you could not have said it better! Thank you for those words that really hit home for me. I see what you see in the world and it makes my heart so heavy but I will continue to pray because I know that is the only answer! Thank you and God Bless!
Thank you, Rachel . I have told my child to be kind, and you do not know what they are living. It's sad, but yes, many get off on being hateful . I used to think the mouth could be hateful . But now its fingers are in the chat world. I pray you, friend, is healing 🙏 . Love is free. More people need to remember this.
Yes yes yes !! Girl you better, keep on having these Chats. JESUS, is our Hope and stay!! Oh that amazing Grace!! Thank you to you and your family !! KEEP SHINNING HIS LIGHT !! We are watching & learning with you😉! Be Blessed!!
Thank you so much for sharing. I know these things but sometimes we need reminding. When you said what your mother used to tell you, I got emotional for sure! My mother a Bambi fan, would always say, what does Thumper say? Lol. I pray for peace and healing for you and your friend.
Rachel, I love you!! We All needed your message and reminder of compassion, grace, mercy, understanding, and following the golden rule! My heart is very appreciative of the time you spent sharing your heart with us!! Your friend is in my hearts thoughts and prayers, as you also are!!! 😘♥️🙏♥️🌹🌈☀️🕊️💗💗💗🐝💗💞
Really great talk, Rachael. More Christians need to be talking more...spreading our hope, our known faults, our love for others; even when we cannot identify with their woes. I think when we share how we feel we give others the knowledge that they can get through their struggles too. We don't have the same struggles in life, but EVERYBODY does struggle, it's just a different story. 💜 I miss my Michigan.
This was a lovely chat. Thank you for sharing with us. I’ve never commented, but I have been watching your videos lately. I honestly can’t remember how I found you. But I find it all quite refreshing and appreciate you two sharing your life with us. There are hurting people in this world that want to hurt back. Sometimes it’s hard to understand where they’re coming from. The world is difficult for us all at times. Even at moments like a pressure cooker. It’s nice if we can just remember to show each other love and grace every day. The days that I can’t seem to do this, I find it best just to turn it all over to Jesus and keep my thoughts to myself. May God bless you and your sweet family and your friend.
Thank you for reminding me to look at some things in my life differently, and possible changes I need to make for the good.Sometimes it takes listening to others feelings, not just wth our ears but with our hearts to realize how important it is to treat everyone with love and respect, no matter what they have done to you. That is a beautiful peaceful area to be in.
From up at the tip of the mit: I totally understand! There is a lot that rests on us ladies, and sometimes we need to get away by ourselves to reflect in peace with no demands on or expectations of us. Peace be with you. I don't know your friend's name or situation, but I will lift them up in prayer.
Rachel this is a very beautiful life lesson you have shared here! I see negativity from people of all walks of life and feel the same way. But I definitely feel with age comes wisdom. I myself say this all the time to my kids. I call this heart based living. Helping others without expectation! Beautiful message here! Thanks again for such great content and real!!! BLESSINGS .
Rachel, you are amazing! Thank you for just being you and sharing so much of your wisdom. You and Todd are two of my favorite people and I am so thankful for your channel!
Very well said, Rachel. It’s hard to be gracious to those who lash out. I sure do look forward to a world where everyone there will live in harmony. I’ll look forward to meeting you there in our future garden of Eden. Thanks for your heartfelt words while wading through what this life throws at us.
I understand this completely. A really wonderful young father at our church is in a high position at a school where he works. He is a very moral and caring man. But rumors at the school have devastated his lire. Those of us who know him, realized the hateful campaign against him but that doesn't help. Why do people have to destroy others? Thank you, Rachel for this post.
That was very much needed! Thanks for sharing with us all! We will be praying for your friend, and your family, all who are involved! God bless you all! Much love from East Tennessee!
Rachel we built and off grid cabin in the woods 17 yrs ago hard to believe it’s been that long. It’s the place I go to completely clear my mind and it puts me in a good mood, we grow a garden their and have berry bushes. So I know how you feel!!❤
Today I was angry and bitter because I am going through Covid for the second time in a year and mad because not one family member or neighbor brought by soup or anything to eat because I was to tired to cook. I have given everyone that I had mentioned food when they were sick so I felt used and unloved. I went to church today and talked to Pastor and he said my sermon today will help you and I will pray for you. Philippians chapter 4. I felt better and will continue to heal from those negative feelings. God Bless I needed this
I agree with you 150%. We are need to be kinder, more empathetic and certainly more forgiving. Jumping on the judgment wagon only leads us down a trail of anger. I hope things get better for you as well as your friend.
Beautifully stated. There is very little accountability for people these days in many areas. Anonymity gives them strength, the worst then comes out. It's sad, I hope we can find the way out of it. Prayers for you, your friend and those who hurt and feel the need to hurt others. Peace to you, Sweet one ❤🙏❤🙏❤
This has got to be my favourite video of yours. You had me very emotional throughout. When trauma hits, however it manifests, we often struggle to just put one foot in front of the other to even continu to exist and the last thing one needs is to be judged. For some, the best help they can provide is to just shutup if have nothing helpful or nice to say. We all need to do better at being human and compassionate, there is always room for improvement. BIG thumbs-up!
Oh my goodness this is a precious video. You can feel your heart's heaviness and your perspective is refreshing. The world is becoming very calloused and more unkind with some truly jaw dropping, heartbreaking things going on. So touching for you to share some of your quiet reflection time, your brokenness, your wisdom, kindness, your cute bare feet and dirty hands which is truly endearing. Prayers for your friend and your precious heart. God bless.
I'm not sure when we, humanity, lost our manners or compassion but it is definitely more pronounced in this age of social media. I love it and use but some people have become emboldened by the fact that you can say things from behind a "screen". You are so sweet Rachel and I very much enjoy your sharing of what God puts on your heart. Keep being true to that. In this new world we need more of it. Sending prayers of comfort and strength to you and your dear friend all the way from the Upper Peninsula.
Praying for your friend for whatever they are going through.If we all could treat each other the way we want to be treated, what a wonderful world this would be!
Rachel, your message touched my heart this morning. Thank you for sharing it in such a beautiful way. It's clear God is using you to deliver this very important reminder.
This message was needed because I grew up on the golden rule and I have had to remind people of this. We all have faults and past pain but it doesn’t make it right to treat others wrong. Thank for such a calming video
Rachel, thank you for being real and saying what was on your heart.
Well said, my dear friend. ❤
"But for Grace go I" was something that my grandmother taught me many years ago and one that I often use to remind myself to change my thoughts. Thank you for sharing.

Kindness costs nothing, but means so much. Thanks for sharing this.
May God bless and help you dear friend Thank you for sharing from the heart...I really can relate my heart strings have been being tugged on lately in my personal life
Well said. One of our church’s focus for the year is Be Just, Be Kind, Be Humble.

Your message has come at the perfect time. Than you. So much truth. So much realness for our needs as well. Thankyou again for sharing. ❤
Thank you for sharing, I wished I could send you some pictures of our Garden what I think would cheer you and the viewers up. Again Rachel thank you and I believe you’re a wonderful woman and a inspiration to me and my husband 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for sharing Rachel! Just talked about this with one of my friends lately I believe Satan is trying very hard to put us against each other
Beautiful message sweet lady. God bless u.
lifting prayers for peace for your friend, people can be so mean over the internet, I'm so sorry for anyone who gets hurt from this kinda of stuff.
Amen sister! Have a great week.... I’m praying for your friend.
What a beautiful reminder. Thank you for being you and for sharing from your heart. We are all fallen and need the grace of God.
Beautiful land and beautiful message
Rachel, thank you for this lovely reminder of God's grace! Your cabin property is beautiful. Your strength and persistence are honorable and beautiful!
I hope this message reaches the hearts of many. What a treasure your friend has in you during this time. ❤
It’s so easy to be kind. Sending healing thoughts to all who need it. ❤️🩹
Rachel you and Todd are great people and you keep it real. We will be saying a prayer for your friend tonight. God Bless

You said it all very well. Peace dear lady, and especially for your dear friend. And yes, we are all going through our own private battles.
Thank you, Rachel. I always told my kids that you don't know what goes on in someone else's life. We do need to be kind!
Thanks for that vulnerability. It’s important to hold one another accountable for how we treat one amothet
Kindness and grace are free
🙏 For you and your friend

Thank you Rachel. I needed this today, if I could only save time in a bottle 😢
Rachel thank you so much for taking us to the cabin with you. I really enjoyed listening to you.
Thank you Rachel for being you, for sharing you. You are right beyond words. Hugs.
Love you Rachel! Thank you for sharing your heart and keeping the standard not only for what it means to be a caring and kind human being, but a follower of Christ ❤️🙏🏻
Perfect timing Rachel. I felt every winded word my sister. You've been a huge blessing to me today. ❤
Thank you, Rachel. I really needed to hear that. I love you and Todd, and I love your videos. Keep them coming.
God bless you, Rachel. Praying for your friend 🙏
Thank you Rachel for this video. So many people need to her this. May our Father in Heaven bless you and Todd.
Amen Rachel-you are a beautiful human being.
Thank you Rachel for sharing and being transparent. It’s good to remember the love part in “love your neighbor as yourself.”
In this time we need to be praying for all and sending our love to them.
Beautiful! Thank you for the chat. You're an amazing lady.
May God bless your friend during this difficult time and His arms wrapped around her.
God bless you Rachel for speaking truth and about this subject!
We are all broken and it is by the grace of God in my life that I get through it ( w struggles & pain) …
Silence is a gift on so many levels & through guarding our tongues we learn so very much ( me included) . How terribly we can be to one another!!
A dear friend shared a fantastic little book with me:
30 Days To Taming Your Tongue
by Deborah Smith Peggie’s.
WOW- a true eye opener!

Loved this video Rachel. So touching and interesting. Will pray for you and your friend for comfort and peace. God bless.

You are absolutely right, Rachel!!! If you have nothing good to say, just be quiet!!! Be nice to people!!! God Bless Us All!!!
I think we all need to work on being more positive. You’re absolutely right.

Thank you Rachel for showing us your heart. Prayers for your friend.
I love your outlook. You are a beautiful person. Kindness is everything n shows great charity. God bless you.
I’m so tired of the division. I’m praying everyone will come together eventually ❤
Rachel, thanks for sharing from your heart. Such a good reminder for all of us. Blessings from Southern Michigan.
Well said! The whole thing was well said. Come on people how hard is it to be kind. Treat people as you would like to be treated.
Thank you so much, Rachel. God used your words to speak to me today. Thank you for sharing your heart.

Oh my goodness this is a precious video. You can feel your heart's heaviness and your perspective is refreshing.

So touching for you to share some of your quiet reflection time, your brokenness, your wisdom, kindness, your cute bare feet and dirty hands which is truly endearing.

Prayers for your lovely friend. Thank you for sharing.
Enjoy your quiet time.
I’m one of your 30k and I chose to hold your hand in kindness.Hope you enjoyed your weekend.
I really like the inner reflection because I work in the public and have the same faith. It,s a daily challenge.
That is absolutely correct. Nobody walks in another person's shoes so if you don't know what another person is going through, pray for them. ❤ 🙏

You are so sweet Rachel and I very much enjoy your sharing of what God puts on your heart. Keep being true to that. In this new world we need more of it. Sending prayers of comfort and strength to you and your dear friend all the way from the Upper Peninsula.
Praying for your friend for whatever they are going through.If we all could treat each other the way we want to be treated, what a wonderful world this would be!
Rachel, your message touched my heart this morning. Thank you for sharing it in such a beautiful way. It's clear God is using you to deliver this very important reminder.
This message was needed because I grew up on the golden rule and I have had to remind people of this. We all have faults and past pain but it doesn’t make it right to treat others wrong. Thank for such a calming video
You are brave. I would never be out alone.
Thank you for sharing your heart with us Rachel! xo
