I’m so grateful and appreciative that you spoke from your heart about building a pantry from a place of joy & comfort vs panic & fear. Trusting in the Lords plan for us will sustain us more and I thank you for using your platform to remind us. Building a pantry for our family that we like to eat rather than stockpiling out of panic is really good loving advice. Thank you ❤️🙏🇨🇦
Absolutely!! The Lord knows ALL! There are no surprises to him, ever! When the enemy makes something bad happen, the Lord is there to filter it through his fingers and turn it into good. Always. So the pantry is a direct reflection of that faith. :)
I think she looked good in the first set of dreds, but I didn't particularly like the second set. That being said, whatever works and is easiest for her to deal with is fabulous.💝
She actually explained somewhere that her dreds help her by letting her not have to care for her hair while she focuses on healing. It just gives her one less thing to have to do among all the other things she’s dealing with. If it’s helping her, I’m all for it.
Please don’t apologize for putting your children first… We are here when you are here. We love you and your precious love for Jesus. Always a blessing to see you. You ABSOLUTELY made the right decision!! Yes, to all and any videos!,
Don't apologize for spending time with your kids. Those relationships are lifelong. They need to know you love them above all other things. You are a fantastic mom.
@@TheKneadyHomesteader I believe our family is a gift from God and we need take care of them. I agree, please don't apologize you have to do what God asks you to do which is family.
Never apologize for putting your kids first. The Lord entrusted you with those children. They are your most important ministry. I'm so proud of you and your strength.
I prefer your hair this way. It's so beautiful. A well stocked pantry is so important. I store extra for any temporary emergency. Not out of fear. Blessings Heather!!
a very humbling thank you! I am a broken woman just tryin to fit my pieces back together and sharing my hot mess of a journey as I walk my way through it. hoping it can help someone else. God is so good, and he will use all of this for good! I have complete faith!
I have always thought this lady is one of the most beautiful people inside and out. I strive to have a heart like hers. The love radiates out of her. ❤
Your children come first. Please never apologize. And yes, I'd like to see a pantry video. Yay! I enjoy all of your videos and hearing about your walk with Jesus. ❤ You are an inspiration to many!! 😘
A JOYFUL PANTRY👏👏👏👏👏IS WHAT WE NEED!!!! as for me I'm so tried of so many channels that I loved have jumped on the fear factor ban wagon.. I feel they have went from sharing knowledge they have turned to the $$$ they can make..thank you for sharing wisdom an knowledge with no fear factor or drama..your channel is full of peace an is a very HAPPY PLACE that brings a little sunshine on a cloudy day❤🙏❤️
Momma you never apologize for making your babies first priority, they grow so fast and the memories you make with them now will be what they always remember, your RU-vid family will always be here, hug on those babies as long as you can. Love you Sweet Momma, Big Hugs and Much Love from NC 🙏❤️😘😊🥰
You absolutely hit the bulls eye when you said we are in a spiritual war and that everything happens in the spiritual realm before it happens on earth. Prayer and intercession are so very important. I started building my pantry a little over a year ago when I heard the Lord say to prepare. I started to garden, and started canning seriously. It all was from a place of peace though, no panic or fear. I would like for you to do a joyful pantry series. It would be helpful and a blessing to many. Praying for you and your precious family!
Never need to apologize for spending quality time with your children. They are a priority in life. You are such an example of intelligence, goodness, and lovingkindness just to name a few. I lived in Nigeria (my father was working for USAID building a road). We were 7 miles from the Biafran border. I was only 11-years-old when the war between Nigeria and Biafra happened. That experience taught me the importance of a pantry. I became a member of the LDS church who promotes food storage so I truly believe in food/pantry storage. Any suggestions you have to share will be greatly appreciated. You are an absolute gem❣️❣️❣️❣️
As a single, I stock up weird stuff and don't have a full meal plan. Meaning, I have to go buy more to complete the meal. So, having it together would be better.😁
Always,Always put your children above any other people on this earth!!!! God first,your babies next. You are right,11 year old guys will have other stuff on their minds soon enough. Cherish the time. I have had a working pantry my entire life. I use up the old,replace it with new. You are so right,this should be a joyful place to be. You are giving great advise.
I’m thankful for you for so many reasons, and being able to just be yourself with or without teeth is just one of the many, many reasons! I’m so glad you look like you’re feeling better may God continue to bless you now and always! 🙏❤️👍💐
Wow, thank you, I really appreciate that. I hope my lisp doesn't distract too much, but this is where I am at, and picking up my cross daily to carry it. Not easy, but I truly believe it's not supposed to be.
Oh, my!! I have goosebumps!! Joy, with a grateful heart, gratitude, thankfulness, comforting, sense of security and safety, empowering and wellness. Preparedness in a positive way. Never have I heard all these descriptions spoken about a pantry in one sitting. I've been working on a pantry for a long time. It's always a work in progress as tastes change. It has been a blessing several times when our world got tilted. The first time was eye opening to my husband. Now it's second nature. Love you Heather!!! ❤
you made me well up with happy tears! thank you! I am so glad this hit your heart. it hit mine too. Our world is now upside down! Incredible, isn't it?
You remind me so much of Valerie bertinelli. Such a happy face. I started following you after the accident and I have never wrote to you but you have helped me more than you could ever know. I love you and your family and I hold you up to the Lord
HAHAHA do you know my ex-hubby used to tell me that ALL THE TIME! He had the biggest crush on her! hahahaha That's funny! Well, that's a huge compliment because she is a beautiful soul! I am so glad you wrote to me, sis! you have to comment more often!!!!!
No one should ever apologize for putting their children first. You do what you need to do. Please consider making the joyful pantry playlist for everyone. You'd be helping so many people who can't afford to be part of your inner circle. Thank you.
The Joy pantry is a fantastic idea. I was just talking to my husband yesterday about you and your pantry and how it served you and your family. I'm in awe of you and your knowledge.
Very important to spend time with your family that's #1 I'm glad you had a great time with your son on his Birthday. I love your natural hair without the dreads. Take your healing one day at a time. Prayers for you and your family.
Prayers for you all. No need for apology. I'm happy to see you and interested in learning how to have joyful pantry. I'm limited in space so I need to be creative with that with what we use.
Precious Heather😇, thank you for your courage and your tenacity! You are loved by so many, girl! God has given you this platform to help those (like myself!) just starting on the “pantry” journey! It would be lovely to know more about building a pantry. Also, maybe some tips that you may have learned along the way to troubleshoot problems when growing your plants (ie: molds, black spot, failure to thrive, etc). I love for your prayer Fridays, it is nice to join with so many to pray for the needs of others! We absolutely have to hold each other up in prayer during these dark days! May we all find refuge under the wing of the Almighty as He covers His children with His feathers. Shalom
Three years? Ouch that time went fast! You have come so far Heather. I NEED A PANTRY! Being a caregiver of 2. 41 year daughter with Epilepsy & 76 yr. mentally challenged brother. My health at 66 has had many challenging with major arthritis & back issues. I cannot seem to get myself on a "routine pantry system". As for just making time for me, my time with God, home cleaning ect. I sleep a lot due to necessity & I get feel tired all the time. Love & Blessings from Fla.
Hello Hon, 🙏🙏🙏 My name is Blanca and I wanted to please please ask for a prayer circle for everyone suffering with ear issues as I am now. Been having ear popping, pain, muffled hearing, tinnitus, Hyperacusis , hearing loss, depression and anxiety because of all these ear issues which I am sure a lot of “ear issues sufferers” are dealing with. I pray to the lord for healing, strength, and lots of faith & happiness…. IN JESUS NAME Amen 🙏🙏🙏 P.S. your very beautiful inside & out.
Sending healing Prayers for you and your family 🙏. I love how you show us all how to be strong enough and have a faithful heart for all of us here. You also have shown me the grace and joy you can still have while still mourning the loss of your beloved Husband Matt . Always know he is right there with you he is now your personal Guardian Angel 😇. Don't worry about your teeth you're still healing. We all know the journey you have been on these past 2 yrs and you have shown so many of us the power of prayer and the love from God . Please take care and love your children they need you right now so never apologize for that . They lost their daddy so Mason was needing Xtra love and comfort it was another birthday without Matt and you delivered with such love and grace. You are a true inspiration. Please keep our daughter Christina in your prayers and keep her safe and happy and healthy. Her journey has been rough but with prayer and good Drs she is moving forward with her life . God Bless you Heather and Bless your babies ❤️🙏🙏
So glad you are willing to have videos on joyful pantries instead of panic buying. You are so wonderful opening up about what you are still going through. Love you
Pantry building..so much fear out there. Yes! Please do a playlist for a Joyful Pantry! You are such a blessing to so many! Fear is negative! Prepare Positively!
Your hair looks lovely. The extensions are fun, but I imagine they get sort of heavy feeling or itchy after a while. You look like a spring chicken today. It's so nice to see you smiling and sounding happy. Thank you, I've never thought of building a pantry in those terms. I have been building a pantry for a couple of years and I have learned the hard way not to do panic buying. I do have stuff that we don't eat, but you know, I just wanted to have some meat (Spam etc.) in case. Thanks for the proper words and attitude. I think your pantry building is a wonderful idea. Your family comes before any of us. You enjoy those kids. They won't stay young for long.
I’m so excited to see how you clean your jars and I’m also interested in how you rotate your pantry. Thank you for all of your help and for sharing your life with us! I appreciate you!
Im so grateful that i had a well stocked pantry was such a blessing during covid, it supplied us with the things my family enjoyed. Also when we had some health issues come up and i couldn't get out to the store we were covered, i thank the lord that He empressed on me 3yrs ago to get my pantry/cold room stocked because only He can see the future. I trust Him with all things 🤗💞🙏
It is so good to see you smiling and happy! Praise the Lord for healing! May He continue to touch and heal your body. Love and prayers to you and your family!
No apologies, honey! The prayer circle is wonderful and is needed but then so is your family needing you. The Lord richly blest you with the children he gifted you with and, as such, their needs are just as important! Family is so important to our Heavenly Father so please no apologies as none are needed. God bless you in this new adventure.
The green bean video was perfect. Seeing the jars be filled many times made it clear as to how it is done. You are doing a fantastic job. Plus you made the right choice hearing your sons heart and spending his birthday with him. That was very important to him and everyone else.
You're awesome! I love the idea of the Pantry storage for *comfort* verses the whole "Stock up before it's gone and you can't get it anymore!". Did no one learn anything about the "great toilet paper shortage of 2021"? 😆 As for spending time with your kids... Heather, never apologize for that....EVER! You're a MOM, our kids are our GREATEST Blessing! Heavenly Father would have it no other way...Prayers for a speedy recovery... you're almost there!
@@TheKneadyHomesteader Thank you sis. You truly inspire me with how hard you work on your recovery. I've had debilitating chronic pain for about 17yrs now. I've really been letting the pain and exhaustion get the best of me lately. I would do anything for a burst of energy here and there. 😂
Something tells me your kiddos will always love being with their mama bear! Yes, to the Joyful pantry. I am in tears watching you express yourself with your hand remembering a video where you could not move them. 🙏
Thats ok family first ❤ we understand my heart gos out to your kids i was 11 years old when one day my dad went to work and never came home he got in to a car accident i got angry at god did not understand was raised in a Christian home it was years God did heal and restore me I don't understand God sometimes why life has to be sometimes the way it is but one day we'll get our our answer pray that God will restore you and your children and heal your children heart be blessed
God Bless You . I will Pray with you for your Healing in Full . I agree with the 3 yr come full circle for you. It will be 3 yrs for me from chemo next wk. Recovering is slow But God is with us. Glad to see you on here. ❤
You're take on how to build a pantry is spot on. I build mine so I'm able share when I see those in need, God does bring those in need across my path because I am prepared and willing to be used.
Spending time with your children is always the way to go. They will never forget those times, nor will you. I'm always telling young Mom's and Dad's to enjoy every moment with their young ones because they'll blink and wonder how they grew up so fast. I too have had dental work which included adding bone grafts. The first time bone came out every few weeks or months. My new dentist took my blood to mix with the new bone graft and it was amazing. Just one tiny sliver came out on the new sight. I'm in awe of your recovery after having all your teeth including wisdom teeth removed. I could not have made a video with ice packs after having 1 tooth removed. God bless you and your children. I love you in Christ. Hugs from northern California.
Yes I would love to see a wise pantry build. I am a new subsciber since seeing your Friday prayer circle video's ( I appreciate that you are so concerned about others and praying for them) thank you. Being with your children is always the right decision. May God continue to bless you and your family.
I am 70 years old and need oral surgery, but fear prevents me. Watching your journey I am hopeful..Do not apologize for anything. For you mouth or your time, we who are here know your heart!
Girl, you look gorgeous (even angelic) in this video!!! Your goodness and positivity is contagious!! Thank you for being you and blessing the lives of others, in spite of all you’ve been through! I’m looking forward to the pantry stocking videos.
NEVER APOLOGIZE For Spending Time With Your Children..THAT IS Your #1 Priority after the Lord Heather. I like the Sound of a Joyful Pantry. God Bless You..and Prayers continue for Your Healing..
Amen Sister! LOVE to see your beautiful hair again!!! And that sweet face!!!! You are doing so well after surgery!!!! I had several teeth extracted and donor bone, and implants. a couple years of healing in 'betweens' the process. So I totally get where you are at. Praying for healing and the next step. You have a beautiful smile and Joy shines through. Your childs birthday always comes first, never apologize for being a awesome MOM. God Bless
Many religions believe that if the hair is loc'd it will keep the energy from exiting the body and will result in retaining more physical strength and spiritual energy. Locs represent a devotion to purity, and a commitment to spiritual growth. A person fully awakened to the jewel-like dignity of their own authenticity is capable of truly respecting that same treasure in others. We love your radiant spirit and the creative ways you show it, even the loc'd crown you adorn. May you continue to be richly blessed and beautiful💜🙏
thank you so much! I know locks are in the Bible! I think they are so beautiful.....and maybe the reason why is because of what you explained! Makes sense....Samson had locs!
Thank you, for this uplifting video. Not knowing how or where to begin I tried storing food a couple of years ago. I made the mistake you spoke about. I haven’t rotated the foods and some of it is probably way past expiration. Due to my physical limitations because of having a lot of physical pain, I’ve not done it correctly. I’m so thankful to have met you here. You exude the kindness and love I believe is a gift from our Savior. Thank you!
Happy Birthday, Mason! I would love some pantry tips. A friend had told me this past spring that tomato sauces and canned tomatoes there was going to be a shortage at the stores. I have about a 6-month supply now of these items and there seems to be no shortage at the stores. I think I will donate some to our local food pantry. This reminds me of the covid bathroom tissue issues. I understand the teeth issue. Back when I have breast cancer and had to have chemo some of the drugs took the enamel off my teeth. I had beautiful teeth. I had to have them all pulled and get false teeth. The chemo also destroyed the bone in my lower jaw, I was to find out. I can wear my top plate, but the bottom plate will not stay in due to there is no bone to hold them. I just give it to God and know I am blessed to be cancer free for over 25 years. Sending prayers your way and looking forward to Friday's Prayer circle!
Praise GOD you are cancer free! Amen! I am so happy you are doing so well, for the most part....sorry to hear about your bone loss and your bottom dentures not fitting well. ugh. I can only imagine.
No need to apologize. Your family comes first. It was important you spent time with Mason on his bday. You had you’re priorities in order. Don’t beat yourself up❤
Your kids should always come first, Heather! Never apologize for putting them first!! God, family, everything else... In that order! ♥️ I would love a video about prepping jars, etc., and I would love a pantry series. I love everything you do! LOL
I love the idea of the joyful pantry playlist. My husband & I will be homesteaders in the next few years & I’d love a playlist I can refer to when I finally have a big, bountiful garden. I have always canned from a small garden & made jellies, but I’m hoping to make a full pantry to live from instead of buying so much(but it’s also intimidating!). Thank you for your joyful videos. You are an amazing lady & I’m thankful for you!!
I’m sure your children loved you devoting you, yourself, without interruptions. Love your gracious, frank talk. Any video you do is so enjoyable plus we learn so much.
Heather, you radiate peace & beauty - inside and out❣️ Such a long & challenging journey for you/family lightened by your faith in our Heavenly Father❣️ Prayers and love 🙏😇❤❤
There are wise words. Having tried it exactly as you described, I would love to learn from ‘a joyful pantry’. Hugs and prayers sent to you and your family.
Hello! Yes, I would love to see videos about a joyful rotating pantry! I have grown frustrated with other channels that address this topic out of fear and politics. It is so sad and in some cases heartbreaking. Thank you for giving me an alternative! I am also interested in your dental care post-op. Thank you for taking the time. Thank you for your kindness! You are a breath of fresh air! Take care!
I love the idea of a "Joyful Pantry"! Thank you for this video. Prayers to you for all of your inspiration to those who watch you. I have followed you for years and I am so glad you are helping others with your words and works. I will spread the word on my channel to have a Joyful Pantry. I don't do a lot of canning but I do a lot of preserving through freezing, freeze-drying, and canning. I recently picked crabapples from a tree on our property and made crabapple jelly with no added pectin. Mary Born, ND
Thank you so much! Prayers for healing. I received an electric canner for Christmas and I need encouragement to use it. I will do a "Joyful Pantry" item in my first batch. (and maybe every batch". I am gaining knowledge and confidence. Look for the video soon.@@TheKneadyHomesteader
You are such a beautiful testimony of the Lord. Happy Birthday to your son, and you absolutely did the right thing taking that time to enjoy him. I would love the joyful pantry playlist... that would be awesome. I always like pantry videos, they inspire my homemaking heart.
No apologies please. Your hair looks amazing! I understand the mouth surgeries. We’re family so don’t be embarrassed. Keep being you. We enjoy just chatting with you ❤
I am in need of pantry mentoring. I'm not upset about Friday. I'm just glad you are ok. Our children are important especially after what Mason and Mina went through. You look beautiful and sound fantastic. Whatever you decide to do talking or music it is so refreshing to see you more. I'm always praying for you and your children. Love you too. ❤
Love seeing your cheerful face. I love your hair HOWEVER you like it. And you are precious with a toothless grin. 😁Praying for a continued and complete recovery. Much love from a fellow Michigander (now a Tennessee transplant)
I'm so blessed 2b here & listening to u. God will turn whatever the enemy ment for bad for good to glorify Him. Just an update for those that prayed for my kids that went to christian boot camp thank you n they came on fire for Jesus, but as u may know the enemy is real therefore please keep them in ur prayers they just started public school. They were homeschooling for 5yrs. Thank you again n may our Lord Jesus keep strengthening all of us. B blessed
❤good morning from Tennessee! Never apologize! Kids grow up so fast every moment is precious!❤ I would love that, I am not doing our pantry I could use some advice. Thank you, we love spending time with you prayer for your healing!❤have a blessed day.
A Big YES! for the joyful pantry. So happy to see you back to canning again. My garden is producing now and I find it so rewarding to build my pantry for the winter. Love ya!
It's a bit early yet but you might end up with pointy bits sticking nearly or all the way out of your gums. They're what's left of the sheath of the tooth sockets. They usually come once your gums are healed good and they can be a pain. If they're bad the dentist can clip them off. I had a couple that poked all the way through and what got rid of them was chewing steak. Wore them right off.
I bet that's what this is. It looks like a shard of bone.....and it's a tiny bit red around it. Not really inflamed, but tender. It's sharp! against my cheek! ugh!!!!! HAHAHAHA chewed steak!!!! I can't choose cottage cheese yet! HAHAHAHAHA You are a real Man's Man, Mud! I love you so much!
