A Sick Day on the Homestead *recovering w/ juice, bone broth and puzzles!* 

For those wondering why the video went down, there was a copyright issue around the 4 minute mark but we got it handled!

Symone is so naturally beautiful. She reminds me of Left Eye from TLC. Such a beauty!

That juice story reminds me of the time me and my mom had COVID-19. We got Covid right when the lockdown started. We were forced to quarantine for 2 weeks. No hospital would check us in because they were full, and they were scared of people with covid. I was so sick, I woke up to my sheets soaked in my own sweat. I remember thinking that if I fell asleep again, I might die. I prayed repenting, and asking for the Lord for help. This was before I got saved. In the middle of the night, my dad woke me up, and made me drink this tea he made. It's strong, and when you drink it, you can feel the sickness being pushed down, and your airways clearing up. Then he forced me to sit on my desk, and breathe in some steam with a towel over my head. After about 10 minutes of breathing in the steam, I went back to bed. A few hours later, I woke up feeling much much better. At that point, it felt like a normal flu. My dad gave me the same juice again and made me breathe in the steam again. Then I went to bed again. Just like you said, I could feel the sickness melting from my body. It was like a dark weight slowly sliding down my body. I woke up, like I was never sick. I was full of energy. Laughing and bothering my brothers like I normally do. This tea is from my culture. I'm Senegalese. We drink this when we're sick. I was shocked that it could cure covid. If you want you can use it in your business. It's not owned by anyone. It's used by west africans for generations. Here is the recipe. -Hibiscus. Don't get the tea bag. Get the loose Leaves. Not grounded. Also, brew it dark red. It should look like pomegranate juice or darker. -Ginger -Lemon -Cayenne pepper and/or Black Pepper (my dad used both). For the steam, we boil water with onion and garlic skin. It won't stink. Promise.

I am so impressed with you guys as a single black father of four boys your work ethic and faith are truly inspiring..but how on earth did you ever find the time to earn a degree learn to cook, garden, farm, homestead, etc..

That's EXACTLY what my Grandmother use to do! She absolutely loved puzzles. She solved the 5000 piece puzzles. She'd have her game table set up & would take her time. As she went along, she would glue them to a backboard & turn them into stunning framed artwork around her home. I miss those times!!!

Putting a bayleaf, lemon, and garlic, honey in that would give you instant relief!!!

He is the painter of light, all of his scenes have a light somewhere in them

OMG... I BEEN WAITING 4 YOU GUYS...FEEL BETTER...YOU GUYS INSPIRE ME.. IM 54 and MY 2 DAUGHTERS are yall ages...I live thru guys...I been here since DAY 1 but I don't usually comment...Ok..Your Aunty in Texas ANGIE❤

Wishing you youngsters the healthiest of days. Glory to Jesus.

Loved the dirt story and the animals on your property story. . Keep giving the stories and relating stories to the Bible. And yes I loved that Gerard went to the store and took care of Simone. So so sweet. I love seeing the Love . Praise God

If you core your apples before juicing them, you can use the pulp (beet & carrot pulp also) to bake quick breads. The beet greens (tops) are delicious sauteed in olive oil with onion and garlic and drizzled with a little lemon juice and your choice of seasonings. Zest your lemons before juicing and freeze the zest for other recipes. You can also add the pulp of your choice to soups and stews. Bone broth can also be pressured canned so that you have some on hand in your pantry when needed.

It was the tissue in the noses for me🤦🏿‍♀️🤣. I love everything Thomas Kincaid, his movies and books, pictures ect….❤️

I’m new to your channel. I’ve subscribed, because I love the way Gerald talks about the Bible, and his love for the Lord! I also like Symone because of her decision to leave the corporate world. Regarding Thomas Kinkade , he was a painter of lights. Eventually, his paintings were made into puzzles. I have put together about 25 of his puzzles. I believe he was raised by a single mom. When he would get home from school, he would be home by himself after dark. That was why all of his paintings have a lot of light through the windows. He was a Christian and he passed away in 2012 unexpectedly. I plan to watch all of your videos over the next few months. Keep up the amazing work Gerald and Symone!!!

Love that Symone noted that the 1st animal you guys saw there were turtles. Turtles represent that phrase "slow & steady wins the race". I'd definitely say your progress, transformation, renovation, etc has been a slow & steady process. ❤

Wow! U did great sewing that shirt! 🔥 😂😂 15:27 23:52-24:11 facts!

I love the way y'all take care of one another God bless you both❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I appreciate this video even though you're not feeling so good. God bless you both. Feel better soon, guys 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Morning Family ❤ I truly love hearing Simon speak on all the different nature cycles of the seasons of God's creation, hubby is so awesome at caring for his wife when being under the weather ❤ 😅 ❤

Thanks for showing natural healing with the Things Most HIGH put here to heal His children GLAD YOU BOTH ARE BETTER PEACE.

You gotta add natures antibiotic garlic, to your juice. Thats the main ingredient that’s going to help you two feel better. ❤love the channel.

Hello family I came across your channel and I love what you are doing. A young black couple living on a 21 acre homestead that is so awesome. The first video I watched was when you were putting up the garden fence and I thought this is interesting so I check out a few more videos and I love your content. Your property are so beautiful and you are a believer of the most high God. You guess it I subscribed and looking forward to seeing more videos.❤

Love the story about Heron & Heronetta...too cute! I pray that health is restored for both of you. I love that you two are living off of the land and making your own food source...such a blessing and an inspiration. May both of you continue to be blessed and abundant. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Praying for you guys! Speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹 So happy that I got to watch your vlog missed seeing my brother and sister in Christ. Simone great job with making your beautiful sweater wow 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

6:04 The bird drama is cracking me up! The way you both adopted Heron and his "wife" and talk about your pets like they are human is adorable. LOL😇🥰 I also have been recovering from a fever/cold. It must be going around. Glad to hear you are feeling better. :)

Bone broth is so good when you are sick! Dehydrate those bones and grind them up and throw them in your garden! 🙂 nothing goes to waste!

Y’all should get some trail cameras I love seeing the wild life!!! 🖤

Glad to see your getting some rest. I call your juice ABC juice,plus the ginger/ lemon. God Bless

Looking at all the animals outside randomly is like having a live wallpaper lol

Feel better soon

Praying for you both. Poor babies. I love y’all🙏🏽❤️

I love that scene outside of your windows.

The Most High bliss and keep yall!😊

It was good seeing and hanging out with you guys again. I hope you both begin to feel much better soon. Simon I wish I could of came and had some PORRIDGE. LOL Thank you both for the great videos, please keep them coming. May GOD continue to bless you two.

I look my pieces that I've poured out and see which ones are together and I'd Always started from there. I love Thomas Kinkade puzzles i use to add puzzle glue and put them in a picture frame and put them on my granny walls. Every time the family came over they would look at them and then realize they where a puzzle in amazements

Yes we learned a new skill. Hope you two feel better soon. What a nice and comfortable place to recover.

YES! THAT'S MY GOAL, TO LEARN FROM YALL SO I CAN DO MY OWN...❤#1DAY

You guys are do talented and blessed. I love how you took care of her and I love the top she made, it was beautiful ❤

Thank goodness you guys are feeling better 🥕🍏🍊

I love the ideology you presented when it comes to your juicing and pricing. You deserve to get paid for your labor. So thank you for that. It gave me something to think about with my own business 💜

Onions. Eat more. And when sick, juice them add honey and lemon. Instant relief. You can also make onion tea. Pot, water , onion, boil. Sip

Praying for a quick and complete healing.

I will keep you both in my prayers. Get well.❤

The delirium has set in towards the end of the video lol lol. I love it. I pray you guys feel better soon and that you can continue spending quality time together in the presence of God. God bless you both.

Awww I hope you two fell better soon.❤❤

Hey 👋🏾👋🏾 Hope y'all are feeling much better now 🙏🏾 Just a little remedy... Salt in warm really helps with nasal congestion. Just put about some salt maybe about a tablespoon or teaspoon in a medium size bowl (or at least big enough to dip your face into it) and add some warm water to dissolve the salt. Dip your face inside the water and inhale it through your nose and blow it out do this several times then throw out the water. You can do this two or three times a day. It really helps!🙏🏾 Btw loved the natural remedies 🙏🏾

😂 Anyone so tickled that he calls her 😂. I hope y’all are feeling better soon.

Shalom Family! Try a teaspoon of neem powder mixed in a half a cup of warm water, drink it down quick cause it tastes awful, but it's SUPER EFFECTIVE

You all get well soon. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I was there 2 weeks ago and it was horrible! Still coughing! Feel better guys!❤praying for yall

I enjoy your videos and your journey. I am over seventy and only wish I could live where you live. Living in the country is the good life; the best life you can have in my humble opinion. I saw you adding your Beet greens to the compost pile veggies; try eating them instead, stems and leaves. They cook up like swish chard or spinach. I never buy beets without the greens; large fresh looking greens. I will never throw them away again.

Praying for the both of your healing 🙏🏽❤

Hello I’m a new subscriber randomly looking through your channel, really inspiring

I love the view!!!😊😊😊

Hope you’re both feeling better now. Thanks for showing us how you make cold pressed juices, I had never seen that process before.

Hi.. grace and peace..made the bone broth and then with it my own version chicken noodle soup.. blessings of health peace and good cheer..🕊️❤️😊

Glad you arw feeling better.

The organic bone broth is amazing

Keep all your veggie scraps for veggie broth I keep mines in zip lock bag put into freezer until full once full I make veggie broth then can it for later use! It's delicious fresh broth! Use for soups, stir fry, etc

Feel better doon. Did I see Bigelow, I love lemon tea. It's my favorite.

I love the cute little cats ❤

Feel better soon😊

Feel better soon, praying for you both, I enjoyed the video, you two are adorable.

I watch RU-vid on my T.V and I was wondering why I couldn't find this video on my phone so I could comment. Glad you got it straightened out. I pray you both get well real soon! 🙏🏽 You are doing the right things to get better. The tissue in the noses was funny 😂 Even though I know the way you feel is not. ❤❤

I am glad you both are better

❤❤ Love watching y’all.

Started yesterday and finished all the videos today. Gonna go to the gardening channel next. Loving all the faith based inspiration (I’m a procrastinating TX gardener trying to do better lol) but y’all should link your other channel to this one or vice versa so either channel is found easily. I love family vlogging so I am here to stay Hope y’all are feeling much better!😊

Praying for you guys. 🙏 I hope you are feeling better soon.

Hope y'all feel better soon!!!!😍

I pray and hope you both get better soon .😇🙏🏾🧡👍🏾💯

Life on Promise View 🙏 I truly love going back and watching the videos and seeing something I may have missed 😅 but I love seeing the traveling turkey or whatever there called 😅 ❤ keep putting out these kind as well 😊❤

Hope you feel better soon! 🙏🙏

Sorry you all were sick, but glad you’re doing better. Juice looks delicious. Have you thought abt formulating a juice that diabetics could drink. Just a thought. Love Aunt Phiney

May you both feel better soon. That's a cool juicer! May God continue to bless and use y'all for HIS glory! Proverbs 3:5,6 MARANATHA

Love you 2 my little brother an sister in Christ. Oh. Almost forgot. Ilove the videos also.😇🙏🏾🧡👍🏾💯

Hope you both feel better soon!!

🙏🔥🔥💪💗💗💗 mighty rest

Awww feel better you guys!!!

Praise God, you both are feeling better. Thank the Lord

😊❤😂 loving the sweater, blanket or blouse you've created ❤ 😍

Gerald and Symone feel better soon !!! I know you will because of your knowledge of healthy vegetables from your own soil. Drink up 😃😃

I hope you are feeling better. I enjoyed watching how down to earth you were in this video--tissue sticking out of your nose.😂🤣. Continue to bless one another “in sickness and health.”🥰

Seeing you guys either the tissue plugs made me saw awwwwww 😊. You know it’s bad when you have to plug your nose because it just will not stop running. Glad you both are feeling better.

Feel better❤

Praying for your healing. Dehydrate and rest!!! 🙏

Love the story...feel better soon, guys. 😊

Awesome job with the puzzle guys

I just got over being sick. How is it you two can manage to look so good when you're sick! 😂 I looked like heck when I had my head cold.

Hope you are feeling better

I hope you are both feeling better by now. That juice looks really good! I love Thomas Kinkade puzzles. I’ve done so many of his puzzles that I think I’ve run out of options for new ones. 😄 I recently started solving 2000 piece puzzles and have framed a few. It’s such a relaxing hobby. My children gave me a puzzle board for Christmas, I love it! It’s great for sorting, and helps to not lose any pieces. 👍🏽

Hello Guys, I am so sad you two not feeling well. I know you will jump back. I enjoy you guys so much. Praying for quick recovery.

2 glasses of prune juice will chase the bug out, a couple of Echincea capsules every 2 hours you will forget you were under the weather. Glad you are doing better.

Get well soon ❤

Simone. You can dehydrate all the carrot tops and use them for cooking. They add a very nice flavor. I’m able to preserve and use all the parts of the carrot this way. Thanks for the videos.

The skin of the lemon is very potent. Try using it.

Beautiful view of the lake. God bless 🙏🏽 🥰

I will swear by olive Leaf. I always keep in the house, and only been sick 2 times in 8 years, and the second time was because I forgot to take it before I got on a plane. If you Google benefits of olive leaf and look at the images, it’s pretty amazing.

Great rationalization, If we came from dirt we probably need to eat things that come from dirt.

❤❤ watching your videos. So calming and stress relieving.😊😊

Glad to see that you're both feeling better. Thanks for sharing.
