    Hi there! I hope you've had a nice week. If you have any thoughts or advice for me, I'd love to here it. I just love to meet people and learn new things from them!

    Internal conflict...all the time. I totally experience this. It can be hard to make decisions about what to do when. I don't know about you but my perfectionist tendencies are so strong. But, I must say that I feel like I'm sitting in your house and you're talking to me like I'm just a visiting friend. We're chewing the fat and trying to figure out life and ourselves. I appreciate you.

      Wouldn’t that be fun - to sit and just chat? I’m too imperfect to be a perfectionist, but it’s a dream. No, seriously, I think I have to give that up. Life is teaching me some strong lessons lately.

    Love your description of your husband's reaction. He's a keeper. ❤

      I think so too! He's a very, very good man! Thanks so much for being here.

    I just found your channel. This was such an inspiring video. If I take anything away from it it's that we need to be grateful for what we have and not dwell on what we don't have The Lord will provide. I look forward to watching more of your videos. I wish you well and God Bless

      Hi Sheila! I’m so glad to meet you. The Lord will provide What a comfort that thought is. I was just reading Matthew again this morning and was reminded once again that I really don’t have to worry. We’ve been through some scary times in the past and the Lord has always gotten us through them. Hope you have a great week!

    Thank you for the reminder that there’s always something to be done and that’s a great thing! Yes, it is truly a blessing to be able to serve our families and be in a position to serve. Thank you for your outlook 😊

    • @TowardsASimpleLife
      @TowardsASimpleLife  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You're so welcome. I find it helpful to try to remember that, especially when I'm not feeling the best. I can't do a lot during those times, but anything I can manage helps!

    "What are you trying to film for the people?" Your granddaughter is so cute! I like your perspective on having so many things to do. Family is so important. It sounds like you are blessed with your family and they are blessed with you as well. All those yummy meals! 😋

    • @TowardsASimpleLife
      @TowardsASimpleLife  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I’m so glad you enjoyed this video. It was such fun to make! Yes, family is so important. These bring such love and teach us to love and serve - the most important things I constantly need to practice. I hope you have a great day!

    Hey there! You say what we're all thinking. God says you are enough just as you are! Hugs. ❤

    This is a great and encouraging video. I love how the granddaughter was wondering why cleaning the kitchen would be worthy of taping for those people. It is kind of hard to explain. I guess it's because, "iron sharpens iron."

    • @TowardsASimpleLife
      @TowardsASimpleLife  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thanks! I had to laugh when she said that to me. You’re right. It can be hard to explain why some people enjoy watching that kind of thing, but it’s fun that they do. 😀

    Yes, gratitude! Beautiful attitude.

    • @TowardsASimpleLife

      Gratitude is the best. I just need to be grateful all the time. It helps.

    Your house is lovely :) You are very fortunate. You are doing just fine. You are not "behind". It's all in your mind.
    Love God above all else and love your neighbor as yourself. Don't forget the "yourself" part :) xo

      Thanks, Susan. We are blessed for sure. The Lord knew we needed a large enough home to house all of these people and brought us here (when it was the last thing on our mind to buy a new home). I don't know what we would have done when my elderly mother needed to live with us (along with our kids and grandkids) if we were still in our last house. But then I had a dream (a literal dream in the night) and it led us here. We bought it when prices were low. It was a miracle how the whole thing happened and I never take our home for granted. Thanks for the pep talk! They are always welcome!!

    YAY! I'm so glad you bought yourself another copy (with the original art!) of The Secret Garden!! Awesome! Yes, we all have "should haves" Don't beat yourself up, though, please. Life is hard enough without us beating ourselves up, too! We do the best we can with what we have and know each day. That's all we can do. Your granddaughter is beautiful! AND, good job concentrating on relationships over chores (as we ALL know, the chores wait) Well done!

    • @TowardsASimpleLife
      @TowardsASimpleLife  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I am too! I've already finished it and it was such a joy to read again. I agree with you that life is hard enough without beating myself up! I need to cement that in my mind. Thanks for being here!

    I can relate!!!! Overwhelmed all the time!

    • @TowardsASimpleLife
      @TowardsASimpleLife  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's so easy to feel that way. If I could just keep hold of the mindset I got at the end of the video, things would sure be better for me. :-)

      Thanks so much, Cathy! We feel blessed to have it and are so grateful that it has enough room for my kids and grandchildren to live with us. (Rent is too expensive in our area.). I’m so delighted to hear from you this morning. Have a wonderful day!

    My dear friend Rozanne, although I try very hard, I cannot provide Turkish language support. I cannot understand your very useful posts in your video. That's okay. It makes me happy to see you do what you want. I pray for you from far away.

    • @TowardsASimpleLife
      @TowardsASimpleLife  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'm so sorry you haven't been able to figure it out. Did you see the detailed directions I gave you on the last video?

  • @cwdrummond

    Nice video! You accomplish more than 3 homemakers. I am way into relationships over peirce. But when I can, I mix them!

    • @TowardsASimpleLife
      @TowardsASimpleLife  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Awww... Actually that was over three days (three shirts = three days). I'm kind of slow, but when I do anything, it helps.

    Don't worry so much. You are taking away from your joy. But I understand that's easier to say than do for some people.

    • @TowardsASimpleLife
      @TowardsASimpleLife  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m doing so much better than I was that day. It was a turning point that I shared. You’ll probably be interested in the topic of this coming Friday’s video. 😀
