Lisa I will look for the video about the scents. I separated from my husband for three months. My children and I went to my fathers home. I bought my children to play with their toys and in their rooms while my husband worked. We had an agreement on this because we knew our children would miss their home and their things. Anyway the whole time the home had a distinct smell. I even asked him to clean a little, however the house was clean mostly empty. The smell was like old/like a leaf but not Marijuana/ and sour milk. It was all together. Idk what it was but months later we returned home and the smell was gone. I did pray day and night before and after that because we did need healing from the incident. But what do you think that smell was?
Hello! Thank you so much for leaving your comment. I know exactly what you mean except I don’t know that personal smell. I had the same thing happen but in a different way. Because it was a sour smell it sure could have been an indication that the enemy was lingering especially during that hard time for you guys. I wouldn’t put it past the devil to be moronic in that way. I hope everything ended up working out for you and your family. How did it go?
Hi Lisa, That’s a beautiful Church and a reverent, holy Mass. Thank you for filming it. Why did you and Stephen originally get married in a Protestant ecclesial community? Were you a later convert to the Catholic Church or had you left the Catholic Church for a while, only to return later?
@@JMM0111 hello there! It is the most reverent I have ever stepped into! I had become a protestant for 10 years after dating Stephen for 10 years. We broke up for one year and he decided to jump on the same path as me. We got married in the church I was attending and then seven years into our marriage my heart and mind was being called home to the Catholic church. There was a lot of sorting things out in my mind so Stephen and I acted as brother and sister for three years. Then we got the sacrament of holy matrimony by the Catholic Church. Wild story and I should make a video about that actually it was pretty intense. Thanks for asking
Lisa, My heart breaks for you as you celebrate the 5th anniversary of your husband’s entrance into Eternal Life. While you rejoice in knowing that he’s in complete peace, it’s still perfectly understandable that you grieve. After all, Jesus wept at the tomb of Lazarus. You have been an incredible soldier for Christ. Your example of faith and strength in such trying times is owed all to the Grace of Almighty God working in your soul. We know that it’s through Him that we “can do all things”. Please know of the prayers offered for you by your subscriber community. Run the race set before you, Lisa. The Good Lord has not left you orphaned…He’s running right there with you. 🕊️
@@JMM0111 Oh my goodness grape juice! Isn’t that so nice! You certainly have mighty comforting words to my soul. Ones that actually touch the suffering that only God seems to know. Thank you so much for giving me your time. May God bless you and your family in return.
I really appreciate this video. I know how you feel. I need to have more trust in Our Lord and not worry too much. I tend to talk too much and overthink things way too much. Please pray for me. Seek His Kingdom first. Thank you for the reminder.
Blessed Mother, Mary, you brought forth into our world Jesus Christ, our Divine Healer. In your caring goodness, intercede for Sarah, who is truly in need of miraculous assistance. If it be God’s will, I ask this day that the gift of healing from all forms of cancer be granted to Sarah. Comfort her during times of anguish, pain, confusion, and despair. Ask our gracious Savior to grant her physical health, inner peace, and patience in suffering. May God’s healing grace grant Sarah a life of happiness, health, and fulfillment here on earth, and one day, the joy of eternal glory in His loving embrace. Amen.
@@ItsJustMyWeigh Oh my goodness grape juice! Talk about tears to the eyes! I have screenshot That beautiful, gorgeous prayer for my beautiful lovely daughter. I will say this whenever I feel like I don’t know what to pray for anymore. You said it all! Bless your heart and return thank you so very much for caring! People need people! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I’m so glad you’re there for us MARCi. I often wonder why I can get through this life sometimes and I know I’m receiving graces from your prayers. I completely thank you and appreciate you. Thank you
@@Prettypeachylife Isn’t that her old old movie? I know but is it for real or is it just trying to make them look scary? How about the movie them? Do you see that one? Really good
@@kathleen6385 hello Kathleen! Thank you for saying all that. I’m so glad you like coming by! I’m happy your inspired! Can I ask how you get inspiration? I’d love to know so I keep doing it! Is there anything you’d like to have me talk about? Faith is everything! God bless you and your family.
@@fastgurrrl From my observation throughout the years all animals care about how clean they are. Even pigs. Even cockroaches. Everything! Flies on the other hand do eat and land on poop so that’s why they are pretty despicable in that sense. Poop is bacteria bad bacteria I should say.
@@thecatholicunschooler6507 hey lady! Thanks for the reply! The enjoyment of and interaction with insects came to me later in my life. I'm 55. Dogs and cats eat poo, and they're supposed to have cleaner mouths/saliva than us, right? I'm just wondering if it's something similar with flies. Flies have always driven my dogs nuts, and I can't stand when they get up in my business when I'm trying to eat. Maggots get a bad rap, but they are cleaners too! We have so many cleaners provided to us. Creation is amazing! I was watching a dog rescue video earlier today where they were eating up a poor dog's rotting arm, but they probably are one of the reasons the dog was able to stay alive long enough to be saved and transformed from it's skeletal brink. So fascinating!
@@cloppin By eating the rot they are cleaning the wound. Obviously, if the dog wasn't found soon enough it would die of infection from the wound. The maggots eating the rotten stuff doesn't kill the animals, infection, sepsis and/or organ failure would. Know what I mean?
Thank you for those beautiful words. Wow so you’re a widow for six years now. Next month will be five over here. I would think that we’re always going to miss our man. I am learning to take him with me everywhere I go and still make memories so it gives us something to talk about when we get to heaven over here. Yes this morning I’m not sure if I said it earlier to you that God reminded me that this is his holy will for our daughter and I have to do whatever it is to help him do his well in her life. Thank you for your prayers I truly appreciate it
Timestamp 15:19 - I’m so sorry for the pain you’re feeling. The memories of your beloved husband chopping down a Christmas tree every year are precious. I can’t imagine being in your shoes, including living with the challenges of your daughter’s health. It seems almost too much to bear. There’s nothing I can say to help you feel better other than to assure you of my prayers. “We know that all things work together for good, for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28
Oh my goodness grape juice! Your words are so comforting! Thank you for saying all that. I truly, truly appreciate. It does feel too much to bear. With that said I am looking every moment for Gods promises and trust that He is in charge. Thanks for coming by. God bless
Love zucchini I slice on an angle skin on and sauté in avocado oil with sliced onions and tomatoes sauce till zucchini soft and sauce cooked and use as side dish or throw over pasta . Yum or zucchini noodles
Hi Lisa, That dessert at the end of this video looks delicious! I was wondering…have you considered buying a Ninja CREAMi maker? They’re quite expensive and I don’t have much kitchen counter space (I have a small house). There are You Tube Influencers who demo the CREAMi on their channels and I’ve heard nothing negative so far. I wondered what you thought of the CREAMi?
Hi! I definitely would love to have something that turns food into ice cream consistency. That would be so cool. I’m gonna check it out. Thanks for all the info about it! I appreciate it!
Awww…so sweet to see your pets and how much you care for them. I’ve always loved my pets. They’re family members and to me, they’re “children” with fur. St. Francis of Assisi, pray for them.
Timestamp 4:13 - “Organized” prayers, or should we say “established” prayers, are beautiful. They’re helpful to the faithful, especially when our thoughts get scattered and we need help staying focused. Many of our established prayers are derived from Sacred Scripture or originate from our great Saints or Early Church Fathers. Established prayers help unify Catholics as a Church family. No matter where we’re located in the world, we all know many of the same established prayers that we pray. They bind us as a Catholic family and help point us toward Almighty God and His personally established Church. Thank you, Lisa. 🙏🏻
Excellently put! completely agreed and that’s why I love organized, established prayers. I love how you said established prayers that’s great. Jesus is teaching us the our father is an established prayer. I love it and you’re right because sometimes I just don’t know what to say anymore and I don’t know how it should go my life. But when I turn to these certain prayers that you need us everything gets better. Thank you so much for saying all those beautiful things keep it coming!
My parents were very “bad” Catholics if one can say that? But I learned how to get closer to my religion when I became a mom. We CANNOT protect and love our children without GOD, and without our Blessed mother! We simply cannot be parents all on our own. My sister is atheist, she has no children yet but I do hope that when she has children she changes too. Our religion has so much to Offer us.
Beautifully said! Yes it is OK to say bad Catholic. Was your sister ever Catholic? If so she too is a bad Catholic but she still Catholic in that case. Yes the heavens are our teacher and we get to see all the ugly parts in ourselves as we raise our children in the faith only to move us into perfection! Let’s agree that your sister submits to the authority of our Lord
Love it! Mama getting things done. That reminds me…. My shower seems to be clogged and I am going through that post partum hair loss phase…. Yeah I do NOT want to get that done! 🤮
Go to Home Depot and get what’s called a snake. Ask the people there in case you don’t know what it is. Go home put it as far down as you comfortably can and yank out any of that hair. Your drain will be up and running in no time
Can you please make a video about growing close to your daughter? I have one babygirl and the rest are boys. I had zero connection to my own mother I actually grew up to hate her. But at this point she is irrelevant in my life but my daughter is my life. I want to make sure I do not fail her.
Oh wow! Thank you so very much for sharing and being vulnerable. That takes a brave person. A determined person at that! Can I ask you a question? If so can you tell me what your relationship is like now with your daughter
You have been a blessing to my family! Never before had I found a person who is so passionate about being a a mother. People always judge me and ask why it is so important for me to homeschool and watch my children like I do. I am unsure I don’t know why but I feel its GOD telling me that my children ARE my life. Homeschool is almost never easier than public school. But it is God’s calling for some of us. During the pandemic I noticed A LOT of parents were inconvenienced by their own kids! I fear the day I become and empty nester. I hope to please God as a parent to my children so that he blesses me with grandchildren too ❤
Oh wow what a great Comment. You know it’s funny when I hear people like you telling me I hope that God is pleased with you as a parent. Maybe it would be a good idea to go back and reread what you yourself wrote. you will see how much you adore and treasure your children by what you are saying. You already are pleasing God I’m sure by the words you say. I can tell you this about homeschooling. I used to defend myself. After 10 years my father told me I didn’t have to do that. I didn’t owe anybody an explanation. I was able to settle down in homeschooling and whenever I met a new person I didn’t have to prove to them that my children were normal. I didn’t even have to owe them an explanation on what makes me qualified to homeschool. I would just simply look at them and tell them I am their mother and nobody loves them like I do except for their father of course. You have a God-given right and duty to watch over your children like you do. You’re awesome I can already tell! You’re doing a great job. I am not an empty Nester yet but I can tell it’s coming for me slowly but surely. I dreaded the moments that are coming for me but the thing is it doesn’t seem to have it all at once. It’s like a tug-of-war. One minute your kids are grown and they’re doing stuff on their own in spurts and then they come back because they treasure you because you treasure them. And this goes back-and-forth. The one thing my children always say to me is that I am a fair parent. I really appreciate that and that makes him want to be here with me.
That’s awesome that you’ve been homeschooling for four years! I remember sitting at the table every single morning with the kids. I would put out a tea pot but with only ice water in it because they didn’t care for tea. We would make a very elaborate breakfast every single morning because it was some thing they look forward to. We made everything look nice all sit down together and I would tell them that we were very blessed that most families have to separate to go different places. I treasured every single solitary moment. And it still wasn’t enough lol. We’re always trying to get our eyes full of our children. Don’t listen to the naysayers whatever you do. A lot of people don’t like their own children unfortunately from how they act. I remember a woman standing in line and she looked at me very frustrated and told me she took the day off from work to be with her little girl. She was very overwhelmed and regretted doing it she said. When somebody doesn’t understand how wonderful being a parent is just pray for them. You don’t owe them in! Just look at them and have a really huge smile and tell them how much you love it
