A day of rest | Retrieving our tractor from the middle of the wilderness at our off grid property

Friendly neighbors give us a hand. We take a beautiful Sabbath day off to enjoy some family time fishing.
The next day it's back to the grind! We head back to our off grid cabin to load up our tractor and some other items.
Disaster strikes once again..
Our trusty farm 2nd Gen Cummins truck doesn’t make the trip home.

[@ricktoole9991]

Really happy you know what day the Sabbath is !

[@jant3]

Love that you know Saturday is the Sabbath and our day to rest. People look at me crazy whenever I say it. Sunday is the first day of the week not the last.

[@TheDogLife5225]

Makes me home sick. I hope your girls will be able to look back at these days as they're grown and understand how fortunate they were to have these adventures. This is what makes siblings best friends!

[@michaelr8729]

its so encouraging to see Sabbath keepers living wholesome lives from living off the land. Its interesting that so many of us are drawn to this lifestyle these days, makes you wonder if God is about to do something spectacular in our lifetimes

[@Maxid1]

Your editing and the dad jokes just crack me up. The intro non sequiturs are a personal favorite.

[@billn6534]

I've watched many of your videos out of order but one thing I admire is that you are a loving Dad. I wish that I had had an attentive father as you. The next generation needs to have a good or even great example to grow from. Be proud and keep being you.

14:28 Tough break about Big Red, Chad, but then when all's said and done, it's lovely big blue eyes and a drop-dead-gorgeous freckle-faced happily-appreciative smile like THAT which makes it ALL WORTH IT. :D :D :D

Ah, young man... nothing like a video update from my off grid family to make my week better! Watching you, your lovely wife and those beautiful young ladies go about your daily lives...makes me smile!! Nice to see you're getting more done on your new place every week...but too bad about Big Red! I'm sure you'll get it fixed in it's time. Yep, nothing better to celebrate my birthday week than some 9252 LIFE family time!! Take care, be safe and God bless!!!

I bet y'all are glad to have running water. It's so precious, you don't realize what's have (like water) until you don't have.We take so much for granted. We live on a water haul, we have 4x 2500 gallon tanks. And my girls learned real quick how precious water is. Speaicly for our animals🐓🐐🤎 they drink a lot of water not to mention our plants. 🙏Praise the lord. God said our bread and water are sure.We just need to trust and obey Amen. So happy for your family to be in your new home with all the extra building, greenhouse, pole barn,ect.I would take the chicken coop too.😁

[@larrypippin7854]

I was excited when I saw the title of this video and I hoped that you were referring to the Sabbath. Then you said it "It's Saturday, the Sabbath" We too keep the Sabbath and the rest of the commands. I guess you would call us Torah Observant but I hate labels. Just trying to serve Yah the best we can and be obedient to his word as much as possible. Love what your doing. Be blessed!
