Ruby's Story  

Greetings, Kin Folk, from the Foothills of the Ozarks of Arkansas. Brother Jared, just when I think you couldn't outdo yourself, you narrate another Beautiful Heartwarming story. I Love ❤️ how your narrations evoke every one of my senses. I can hear, smell, taste, and feel every word you share. Love yall Bunches

This story touched my heart ❤. Because I to will see my Son again. The good Lord let me be his momma for 25yrs..❤

Beautiful story. If it was true some Christians would be negative to her. I lost my premature son and my fouth child died in me. I opened my storm door to enter my house door and a baby gray bird feather went soaring in-between the doors. It was Down's Syndrome Day. I accept the feather gift from my 4th child. He had Down's.

Brother Jared, this story brought tears to my eyes. You see, my first born child died of an alcohol over does just short of his 19th birthday. On the way home from breaking the news to his dad, step mom & younger brother, Amazing Grace began to play on the car radio, & I closed my eyes. I saw a dark gulf between me & two young men standing on their side of the edge. Then I realized that the one standing in front was my son, COMPLETELY NEW, wearing the brightest white T shirt I'd ever seen, & blue jeans the most vivid denim blue I'd ever seen! Behind him stood our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, but to this very day I can't describe His face, just his loving smile. He started to turn with his arm around Jeremy, who glanced back at me with the most joyous smile I'd ever seen. Then turned & followed the Lord up steps I couldn't see.I take to heart when Jesus told His disciples that what's impossible for man is possible with The Lord God. I don't know what Jesus my Savior has in store for me in Heaven, but I do trust Him. No matter what, the Lord works in mysterious ways. And for anyone reading this comment that has not accepted the priceless gift of salvation by His blood on The Cross, don't wait as we're not promised tomorrow & He's fixing to take His Bride, The Church out of here. Time is short....

I lost 2 babies in the early 1970's and I firmly believe that one day I will see them again. I did manage to have 2 preemies after that to fulfill my earthly life but I know there are two waiting for me.

My grandfather's people are from Townsend. Have family buried there. You know home will always be home. Good people are so hard to find. Mountain people have deep roots in their faith. Thank you for telling us about Ruby

Wow that pulled on my heartstrings now I can’t imagine what we’re going to see on that wonderful blessed beautiful hour when we go HOME Amen 🙏.

This makes me believe even more. One day I'll see my daughter again

You had me until the last word, and amazing Grace was a perfect ending for the story. Hands-down, the best story you’ve ever told.

What a beautiful voice to tell a southern story ❤

I come from mountain people. Mom's family started in Massachusetts in the 1600s and worked their way down to the south; ended up in Florida and North Carolina. They made a pass through Appalachia.

What a heartwarming story. I'm thankful that when our world feels like it's falling down around us, that God in heaven picks us up and carries us through the storms of life. I, too, have a baby waiting for me in heaven. Thank you, Jared. God bless.

Ruby made me cry....and then my heart went warm.

Wonderful story. I reckon we all have someone dear we are longing to see again. My someone is my husband. He's been gone 12 yr August 5. 5 yr ago I thought I's goona go too but the Lord knew my grandson would need me. But I can hardly wait to see him again. He is my only love and true soul mate still and always will be. I have to get this boy raised up and on solid ground before I go.

That was the most beautiful story I’ve ever heard

This is really a BEAUTIFUL story. The Lord works in mysterious ways. ❤

This made me cry with joyful tears our father in heaven is good .

I was blessed to be a mom for 20 years. Because of my son I was blessed to take in 5 of his friends who needed a momma for a time when they needed. Those boys are men now and I am still called momma. I will see my son again but he left room in my heart for my other sons. They look like me, we have the same heart. Keep sharing the good word dear Kin and know we will all be together again.

The ending of the story broke into tears, save children. I hope to see my children. Glorify.

Love love love the story! God in His mighty mercy took her sins away and blessed her with a son in heaven! What a truly mighty God we serve! Thank you for sharing!

I love these stories, "and things like at." Can't beat the soulfulness of these Appalachian hills!

This story pulled at my heart. I loved a man much like she did. We got married and I tried to have children with him but after losing two children from miscarriage by him, he left me. I went into a deep depression for a long time but over time I realized life had to go on. I still think about my babies and wonder if I'll see them someday. This story helps me to know I will, even though I can't understand why they can't be here. Thank you for sharing this.

It was my first time to find your channel. What a storyteller talent you have, and what an amazing story. I didn't want it to end, but then the beautiful ending. Thank you so much for the story and the fact that Christ's Grace will forever be amazing. God bless and keep you.❤😊❤😊❤

Beautifully told brother Jared. Thank you so much for sharing this for me ❤️

Had my beautiful son for 23 years, he was my 38th birthday present. He's been gone 2 years on 22nd July 2024. His Big Sister and I miss him so much that sometimes it feels like we can't breathe. This is a beautiful story and brings a little peace to my heart.

Mr. Jared This was an absolutely beautiful and amazing story. When you said that the man was her son it took my breath away for a second. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. Blessings to you and your family

wonderful video! as one that suffered an unfortunate miscarriage, this gives me new hope!

Great story tellin, reminded me so much of when was little girl in Greasy Holler TN. Before they brought TV over the mountains, our entertainmwnt was listnen to story tellin,by the grownups. Uncle Biggun was especially good. Those storytellers are all gone now, and it is becomin a lost art. Thankyou for taking me back to a place had almost forgot.

That ending sent chills all over me.

Oh wow, you got me on that one, Jared. Yes, I have tears streaming. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound!

This was the best one yet, I have tears in my eyes. Jared, this story has me in awe. Thank you for this. My wife and I lost a child by miscarriage and couldn't have any more. I don't know how to thank you for this

Absolutely beautiful story. You told it with so much feeling in your voice. Amazing Grace is one of my favorites and you used it beautifully. Thank you for touching my heart. May God bless you and yours.

This was a story that teaches a lesson , how beautiful .

Thank you for this wonderful story l believe that's just how it is we will see our loved ones again l have to believe that l can't wait to see my Parents and all of my family again l think about them every day.

I know i will get to see my baby son and baby daughter someday in heaven.

Jared, you've told some great stories but this is one of your best. It gave me tears and hope and both are God-given gifts. Thank you and many blessings.

What a beautiful story- brought me to tears 😢🥰

Ohhh my goooodness. Beautiful story. Life has a way of changing us within a blink of an eye. Love yal. Ty for the story. Brought a tear to the eye.

Those who trust in Jesus will all be reunited in heaven one day with all our family who believed in Him. Amen.❤❤

This is the first of your videos that I've come across. What an amazing, uplifting ending! Thank you for sharing! Loved the photography, especially the scenery -- made it feel so real, so immediate to my life as well as to Ruby's. 😊

WOW ... what a beautiful, hopeful story, even in the midst of her heartache, God gave her such joy! I needed this for myself today. I'm subscribing to your channel.

I am from way, way down south, South America, Ecuador. This is my 1st time hearing your stories. Wow. What a blessing! I have had 5 abortions. Had walked in self condemnation and shame, in a way rightly so, for many years. But God. But God redeemed me and promised me, his undeserving daughter, a grand reunion in our heavenly home 💖. In the words of our Savior, “he who has been forgiven much, loves much 🥲💜. Amazing Grace!

Answers can come to us in our dreams. Most people don't believe it; but, I know it's true. When God shows you the correct answer, pay attention. It may save someone's life, it could be yours. When God speaks, always listen (and obey as fast as you can). You will be sorry later, if you don't. This is a wonderful story. You did a great job. Thank you for this video.

Ruby was Beautiful and I love stories like this that tell great parts of Folks Lives.

I'm speechless! (Highly unusual for me!😊) Thank you, Brother Jared! You are a Blessing.

Placenta previa happened to my precious Aunt twice. They were just the best people and I tried to remember everything I could about the loss of those babies. I felt like it was a warning to me and my four sisters. I told all of our husbands about it and that we had five minutes to get them to hospital. It was baby sis the 9th grandkid. When he called I said this is it. Leave im coming ill call the doctor. We all had the same OB So she knew our fear. I said she needs the er when she comes thru the door and she did. Later that morning the Doctor and the nurses cried and prayed with us on our knees. She kept saying they always knew. They can't die. They just can't. They didn't. 11 pints. He's gorgeous. In his twenties. A blessing.

Many people like Ruby and her mom still lived on small homesteads throughout the Smokies when the U.S. Dept. of Interior designated the area as a national park in the late 1930's. It would be interesting to know if Ruby was among those who subsequently lost their property as a consequence of the government's action.

Wow. What a gut punch in the feels. Lovely lesson for believers.

I got chills such a wonderful story

My mother lost a son in 1964 after helping an elderly couple who were crippled with arthritis and could not drive or shop. She began buying their groceries and taking them to the doctors, but they had a vicious small dog who bit my mother during her third or fourth month of pregnancy. They refused to allow the dog to be euthanized so that the brain could be tested for rabies (the only method back then), and she was forced to have the injections into her stomach which were extremely painful and made her very sick throughout her treatment, but also killed my brother. I was the oldest, 16, of three children and we were all so looking forward to having a baby in the family. But her pregnancy went to 10-1/2 months and we all knew that something was terribly wrong, and were later told by the doctor that he had to wait until Mom began labor because he knew that the fetus had died months before and he feared that if he removed it, that it would likely kill Mom. I know that I will meet my brother soon! We are from the mountains of SW Virginia and among the original 300 settlers in the Southern Appalachian Mountains on both sides of my families.

Such a heartbreaking yet beautiful story ❤

I don't know what's better the story itself . . or the narration

We need more stories yes this amen

“Things lī-cat” lol. I love that. That’s the way my late husband used to talk.

See Jared, I said before you have the perfect voice for doing old west documentary narration. This is a great video strictly because of your voice and ability to tell a story. Hollywood needs ya man. You’re like the Appalachian version of Morgan freeman ( as far as narrating)

So touching. My heart is full just listening to Ruby's story.

❤ OUR SOUL NEVER DIES! LIFE IS JUST A SCHOOL, TO TEST US. WHAT WE LEARN FROM LIFE ONLY DRAWS US CLOSER TO GOD. EVENTUALLY THIS IS WHAT GOD WANTS OF ALL OF US. TO LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES, AND TO GROW CLOSER TO GOD. ❤

Just come across your channel , it’s wonderful , your voice is perfect for storytelling .. Thank you for the reminder we will see our loved ones again .. 🙏🏽❤️

Oh wow. It takes a lot to move this old man to tears and this account did just that. Tears of hope and comfort knowing that as a Christian ill see my loved ones again. Excellent brother.

I LOVE STORIES AS THIS !

I have a child waiting for me as well. ❤ i have goosebumps and I'm crying after this wonderful story! Thank you so much for telling it. You are an amazing storyteller ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for sharing, Jared. This one brought tears to my eyes, and REALLY hit home with me, as I also lost my first pregnancy, to miscarriage. But, since then, I went on to deliver my amazing son, who graduated high school 2 years ago, and is now happily working for a good company. This story is proof that, the Lord is always working on our behalf. God Bless you and keep you and your family, my brother. 😘💋😍❤️☮️✨

Jared king, that was the best one yet! I'm a firm believer in life beyond the veil

What a great story ! Great ending ! Thanks!

Thank you. I’ve found my new favorite channel. May God bless you as you bless others.

This is a wonderful story! I loved it ❤! Thank you for sharing 🙏

PRICELESS! Thanks so much for what you all are doing!

What a beautiful story ❤

What an incredible story of happiness, loss and renewed joy!!! This story sure pulled my heartstrings! Thank you Jared!

Wow good one Jared thank you! I hope Jared sees this comment 😭

This story touched me so much. I've believed similar from a man and It Broke me too. I had a miscarriage in 1970 on May 19th. I listened as well meaning aunts,grandmothers and friends said what they thought were kind words about More Babies ,you'll get over the loss etc etc. But having had that child in my body I would NEVER forget it and the grief lingers till today. I went on to have 2 more boys whom I love as who they are with the my Oldest boy at the time I call the "Great Grief"! My instincts told me the baby was a girl. There was no way to know and in 1970s as sonograms where a dream of the future.' Surprise Gender revea "l came when you gave birth. I hope and Pray that when I cross over, the first Person to greet me will be that long lost child . Boy or girl it does not matter, just to know that face will be a plenty. Thank you for Ruby's story. It was a surprise ending. I appreciate the message. Not many women will catch it,only if they have never known the loss of their Secret lost Child 🙏✌️🌷💙😓

Greetings and Blessings, Brother Jared and Kin Folks, from the Foothills of the Ozarks of Arkansas. Well you did it again Jared. I was left in a puddle 💧 of tears 😢 😭 after hearing you narrate Ruby's Story. 👏 👏 👏 👏

I think I needed a good cry. This had me sobbing. 🙏❤️

That was a great story. I have had a few visions and dreams as well in my lifetime... Colors in heaven are so true to there color, like we have never seen on earth. And one time, i had someone speak to me in a vision and the light was so bright, but soft to the eyes, and light came from everywhere at once, and there was no shadows at all. Heaven is so beautiful... And Jesus is coming before to long, to recieve those that belong to him...😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 brother Harvey

I Love your stories.and your voice is perfect for this.

My mama's name was Ruby. She lived in Townsend her whole life. She lost a great grandbaby. My daughter's baby was stillborn between 8-9 months. Later, my mama had cancer. One morning she got up and said she had dreamed about heaven. In this dream she was met by a little girl who looked just like her grandaughter. And she talked a mile a minute just like her too! She took her by the hand and began to show her around heaven. They walked by a place that was all beautiful and white. You could hear unceasing worship. The little girl said " that's the throne room of God" She said "sometimes He even lets me sit on His lap!" I can just see Jesus with all the little children! My mama lived long enough to see another little great grandaughter born, and then she went to heaven. I have no doubt that her dream came true.

Beautiful story. So true!

What an amazing beautiful story. Peace and love to all my kinfolks. Dianne from Covington God blessings to each and everyone one.
