Great message on the reset. I've been using my Advent for exactly that and as it's the Liturgical New Year, I started with "Divine Intimacy: Meditations on the Interior Life for Every Day of the Liturgical Year" by Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D. Blessings on your reset! Merry Christmas!
Hi pastor Donna thank you for the wonderful video . Right now I need some hope would you please say a prayer for me I am having heart problems and I am scared. .I reallly love your calm voice it really is such a comfort I am going to take your advice a slow down .I liked your dried oranges I think the ribbon will look very nice to hang them on your tree..thank you for making me feel a bit better. ❤❤❤❤
Robin, I am holding you in my prayers...and asking God to remove all fear and replace it with a calm faith knowing that you are being held by a great and loving Healer and Friend. Blessings to you!
I have found that as I am getting older, my hope is increasing. I think it is because I have finally found my Faith and my husband and I have joined a wonderful church. Pastor Donna, you have been instrumental in my journey and I feel blessed to have found your channel. I am going to ask for prayers. Our grandson, who is not yet one, is having kidney surgery tomorrow. His name is Charlie and if you could please pray for him, I would be grateful .
Just read your comment and will be praying for a healthy and speedy recovery for your little grandson Charlie. I hope that the surgery went well for him. God bless you and your family. 🙏
Interesting that you would focus on the word hope as it is exactly the word emphasized in church today! Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us; you are such an encouragement!
Thank you!! I am so glad you enjoyed it and that the message of hope was one so many were speaking of...we need more hope! It is so wonderful having you join me here at Old Stone Well Farm!! Blessings!
It is magical. I can only imagine how excited you get when it does snow. I did see in the news, though, that there was snow falling in Scotland. I hope it was where you live! Blessings!
I needed this right now..your video showed up and i felt called to watch it just when i looked at you and it made me cry listening to it...I live in Lebanon and I am trying to hold on to hope and faith...to me jesus has always been a symbol of pure love and compassion. It is what we need in this world the most. Thank you for sharing...your message feels sincere and powerful just like your eyes and words. sending love back 💕
Sorry for the delay in responding, but I am so thankful for your note, and I have been holding you in my prayers. May God's hope return abundantly and may you find your faith being strengthened. Most of all, may God's light of love and compassion shine brightly upon you. Blessings!!!
@oldstonewellfarm no worries at all💕 Thank you for your kindness & prayers...you are a good soul & sweet person.....love what you share & stand for...and yes may we always have love & compassion in our hearts & faith in what is good❤️
We had our first snowfall yesterday. It was magical and looked like a snow globe. What a beautiful way to begin Advent. On this 1st Sunday of Advent, I had the special gift of baptizing my sweet 2 month old granddaughter. It was even more special because she wore the dress and the sweater set/blanket that my grandmother crocheted for me that I wore for my baptism❤️🥰❤️
Wow! Chile!! So wonderful to meet you!!! And welcome to my little Vermont world! I am glad you are enjoying your visits to Old Stone Well Farm. Blessings!
Thanks to you for your Advent first week "Hope"message❤ Yes,there is always a light in our path🎉 "Reset" for me is slow down,be patient, and enjoy the beauty and peace I feel when the first snow arrives : the power of Silence when I feel really and trully in Comunion to the Univers! In those incredible moments I pray to thanks to the Lord because I really feel loved and safe. Have a peacefully week
I am glad you visited with me at the farm!!! In our tough times and when we are are feeling down, that is when we need to support one another. And so, I am holding you in my prayer this day! Blessings!
Such a beautiful message, Pastor Donna. Thank you for sharing this. HOPE is positive thinking. Sometimes, I forget this. Have a blessed evening! Beautiful first snow at your farm, by the way! ❤❤
@loisalbers3348 I'll pray for you.. I don't know your particular situation, so I will pray that God heals & strengthens you, mind, body and faith. Sending you hugs..🙏
It's true - a personal reset always takes place for me too this time of year. A clean up, a refresh of home decor and bringing in of greenery to decorate and energise my surroundings for Christmas. And that word "manifest" is so powerful too. We are all in charge of our own destiny, even in the smallest of ways, and we can all find hope even in the everyday. Thank you, Donna!
I've watched this video a few times, Donna, and continue to find comfort each and every time. Since the beginning of autumn, it has been hard. Things just seem off for me this year. I always look forward to the time between late September and early February. The coziness and quiet of these months, the holidays, and the traditions speak to my soul. I'll do my best to connect with the Great Spirit during the coming weeks, especially out in nature. Have a blessed Advent and Christmas season!
I am so glad you have found this time together to be a comfort. Yes, find that space to connect with the Great Spirit, especially out in nature. That is where I often am when I need to find peace, hope and answers for my questioning heart. Blessings!
I am so glad you found Old Stone Well Farm and that you were blessed by the reminder of the Advent wreath. It's a tradition I happen to love a lot! Many blessings to you!
Living in Puerto Rico where the Christmas celebrations start in November, I look forward to the Advent season (reset) to do what you are recommending. Thank you Reverend. Blessings 🎄🕯🙏🏻
Love that the Christmas celebrations start in November. More time to enjoy the season! I am so glad you joined me here at the farm. I do hope someday to visit Puerto Rico. I once had a friend who used to make me her special eggnog...I am forgetting the name of it...but it is a popular Puerto Rican holiday tradition. Blessings to you!
@oldstonewellfarm Coquito! Here's the recipe with all my warm and best wishes along many blessings. 🙏🏻🇵🇷🕯🌲🌴 th-cam.com/video/V7w0ed5yDro/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Mm1wCFU48DSTuxT2

Pastor Donna, thank you for your spiritual message of hope. Our church is going through a transition & merging with a larger church, which is not my favorite....So, in the meantime I'll be tuning into your messages and praying for a new church home. Happy Advent Season! 🕯🕯🕯🕯
I will pray with you for God to lead you to a new church. Transitions are always so hard, but God has a plan for all, including you. I am grateful that I am able to open my doors to you. You will always find a warm welcome here at Old Stone Well Farm!! Blessings!

So wonderful to get your note!! I love your question, so here's the short version. I toyed with the idea of ordination in the Episcopal church! :) But I am an ordained Presbyterian. I really, though, don't call any one denomination home. I grew up a church mutt...Congregationalist, Presbyterian, American Baptist, Reformed Church in America...yes, I have been part of all of these. I now work as a communications specialist for the United Church of Christ, while serving a rural Reformed Church in American congregation. Here is my Epiphany video from last year which shares a bit of my backstory. Blessings to you! th-cam.com/video/8hySHswAHao/w-d-xo.html

I learned a prayer before a meal and it’s this “Lord I pray that you would be made manifest in the breaking of the bread”.
I love that prayer! I am going to print it out and post it on my computer to remind me to say it as well when I am breaking bread. Thank you!!
Snow is magical. I have it intermittently here in rural Scotland, so I am always grateful and excited when it arrives.
