    Hello Donna,
    I love that you share your projects and busyness with us, It's rather motivating 😊
    No matter how long it takes, please try to keep working on your mum's lovely dress, as it would be wonderful to see the end result.
    ❤ Fritz 🙏🤗

    Thank you for sharing this story. After coming off of a disappointing trip to California to see my son and his family, getting COVID ( which I contracted in California) once I was home, I needed to hear your heartfelt thoughts. I am not sure if the relationship with my son (only child) is repairable, but I believe God has a plan for me and I need to trust Him. Blessings to you, Pastor Donna.

    • @oldstonewellfarm
      @oldstonewellfarm  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Holding you in my prayers for healing of body and of the heart. God does have a plan...it is sometimes hard to understand it. Keep reaching for the thread of his hem! Blessings!

    So beautiful Donna. Happy Birthday, and Happy Anniversary . The dress is so pretty and I'm sure you will do a wonderful job. I have my mom's dress from 1957 and mine from 1989...My mother made my dress. I got them both out when my boys got married to show them and my two daughters in law. I also have kept them both in cedar chest.

    • @oldstonewellfarm
      @oldstonewellfarm  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you for the celebratory wishes and for the kind words! I wish my mom's dress was taken care of better over the years - like being stored in a cedar chest - these dresses are so wonderful to hang on to and share with generations to come. I would love to see a picture of your dresses! Blessings to you!

    Pastor Donna, another beautiful message today.
    What a special gift from your mom to you! Her wedding gown is lovely! I wish you all the blessings to restore this wonderful gift of sentiment ❤️, or whatever you choose to do! Pastor Donna, whatever you put your trust and faith in....well, I believe it will all work out.
    And Yes, to your question...."I Promise!" ✝️

    Thank you for this wonderful message you have shared with us today. Since the death of my husband, I have tried to believe that God will restore my life back to some sort of normal like I had before. Your message helps me to reinforce that thought that God will do this for me no matter how long it takes. Happy Belated Birthday Donna, and your Mom’s wedding dress is absolutely gorgeous.

    • @oldstonewellfarm
      @oldstonewellfarm  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, keep on believing in the beautiful restoration that is coming. God's timing is a mystery, but just remember when it seems nothing is happening, things are happening...we just can't see the blessings yet. Holding you in my prayers! Blessings to you!

    What a stunning and classy wedding gown your mother wore. Gorgeous. Yes, thank you for your teaching on restoration. I do believe he can and is restoring me. Such a lovely sentiment saying we can even reach just for the thread of His garment to experience His healing power. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your experience with eating disorder/body image issues, etc. I too have experienced this and God has helped me and taught me so much, even though it still can be an issue. This always draws me back to Him. God bless, Donna! Can't wait to hear more about the dress restoration.

    • @oldstonewellfarm
      @oldstonewellfarm  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am so glad you enjoyed our time together! Yes, that dress is special...and I just felt, on my heart, to share a wee bit of my struggles in life. I find myself reaching for that holy thread a lot. It is comforting to know that is all it takes for Jesus to heal us. Blessings!

    Ok, Donna you need to check out Bernadette Banner. She is a historic costume designer and repairer of vintage clothing. She has a you tube channel and wrote a book called Make Sew and Mend: Traditional Technical Techniques to Sustainably Maintain and Refashion Your Clothes. She is wonderful in her teaching and I love the book. I wish we lived close by so I could help you figure out how you will do this. I love to sew but definitely need a pattern to help me along. Your creativity always inspires me. I love the concept of God repairing us and making us new like a vintage garment. It speaks to the seamstress in me for sure. Happy belated birthday and wedding anniversary. Maybe when you hit 25 years, you can go somewhere where you can wear the dress yourself once you restore it and make it to fit you! Bless you always for your insight and sharing it with us.

    • @oldstonewellfarm
      @oldstonewellfarm  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Bobbie, thank you for this note. I am going to look into Bernadette Banner! I wish you lived closer, too, because I need someone like you helping me. I really don't know what I am doing. :) I didn't realize you were a seamstress!! And I love the idea of wearing the restored dress when I hit 25 years!!! Blessings to you!!

    Donna, please pray for us... myself, my husband and our dog, we are in a very bad situation since coming back to CT! My brother changed his mind about us staying with him, and we are in hardship. We've been staying in a motel and struggling to pay for it. I started a Spotfund to help us pay for this room until we can get help with housing. Please, please pray for us 😢. If anyone reads my comment please pray 🙏 for us. We're scared and don't want to be on the street. Sometimes family is the biggest betrayal of all.

      @@oldstonewellfarm Hi Donna, how are you feeling? I hope you are better. Family betrayal. We never expected this to happen. It's been heartbreaking. We're working with social services, my husband is 67 and has health conditions. God sees how my family has treated me and he will provide.

    Pastor... I reach out every day for restoration.
    The dress brought tears to me. How I wish I had my mom's gown which she made.
    Actually , she made lampshades and other pieces for her and my dad's apartment afterwards.
    How wonderful to have a piece of history that created you.
    How to I get your address?

      I agree that those ingredients are unbelievable. Ugh. But reading very old cookbooks reveal that people did have different thoughts on what constituted edible food. :) I am so glad you came to join me for this episode. Blessings!
