Your children are going to grow up to remember their beautiful mother, who sat at her garden window and sang and worshipped and filled their home with grace and love. Keep it up, Jess.

[@mrsamywhite]

Samantha - DropChickMicroFarm that brought tears to my eyes. So so true.

[@julieb7068]

I had the exact same thought! ❤️. What a beautiful memory. I love that your homeschool as well. ❤️❤️

[@m.a.c7351]

Really ,where do you hide your wings😇? Beautiful voice. I'm working on that special morning time. The Lord knows I need it 🙏

[@alicerossleon4313]

I got goose bumps head to toe when you sang your devotional.🎹🎶💖

[@SalongirlGardens]

Diagnosed diabetic in feb. Since then I’ve gone on no sugar and very little carbs. Holy cow I’ve lost 42 lbs, reaped huge amounts of clean energy and was able to stop diabetes meds. It works! So sorry about your aunt. I pray for comfort for y’all and your cousin.

[@kathyp3494]

Salongirl Gardens congratulations, it’s very hard to change our habits.

[@AshleyMetzger-me9be]

Your singing and song made me cry. Beautiful.

[@joriathvorkapic7309]

Beautiful song and such a sweet voice! And while I am not Christian...my soul was touched by such an honest heartfelt devotion! Peace and Light!

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Thank you ♥️

[@joriathvorkapic7309]

Would love to send you some Cuban oregano from my space...grows like a weed and is beautiful to behold and cook with!

[@ellenbrooks9508]

What a lovely way to start your morning! Not just for you but for the others too! How special.

[@hypoxic2]

So sorry for your loss. What a beautiful way to enjoy a cup of coffee. Thank you for sharing.

[@TallWeedsandRust]

"I'm not doin those kind of videos" 😂 Thank goodness for editing! So sorry to hear of your aunt's passing, glad you and Amy have each other to lean on in good times and bad. I recently scored a Jack Lalanne juicer, in new condition at goodwill, for $5.99! And, I must say, your hair is especially gorgeous in this video! I've been trying to decide if I wanted bangs again for about a year, and this video has made up my mind for me.

[@terirodgers3333]

[@rwtompk]

Going through a tough time right now, and this channel always shines a little light into my currently dark world. She is such a genuine person who brings joy to so many others

[@kaseysmith6811]

I love how you speak of your husband " Sweet Mia" you always speak highly of him, you just don't see that much anymore. ♡ You are such a loving soul, you can hear it in your voice, you always make me cry in your videos because your so connected, love it! Sorry about your aunt, sending you love and light♡

[@Amy_Emily22135]

This is just beautiful! You are right- we see the garden and outside but the mental and emotional and spiritual health aspect is do very important. I love that you love Jesus and aren't afraid to show it! I'm only sad I found this video so late but I'm so very thankful I finally did! A bit late but I'm very sorry for your loss and we love y'all so much.

[@jchny00]

Your channel inspires me every day to do a little more, one more extra task every day. When you retire you feel a little less connected socially and lose the feeling of purpose. I do take care of my Dad he is 86, and we have a farm much like yours. (cows not Alpaca tho, been there didn't work out) I really enjoy your channel, thank you for sharing your life events too. I'm so sorry for your family's loss.

[@GypsyBrokenwings]

I'm sorry for your loss. It sounds like you have a tight family and that's good. I could listen to you play piano and sing for hours.

[@kathyp3494]

Beautiful song! Condolences to you and your family.

[@threewillowsfarm7779]

Okay. Just watched this for the first time. Very special for me. While you were singing the Holy Spirit was all around me like a comforting hug. Loved the worship Jess. Because it was real and from the heart.

[@cheekysaver]

I am so sorry for your loss. Self care is important.

[@johnwilson3557]

Glad you are sharing your life. So interesting. Well here in Hemet, Ca it has been 94 to 96 degrees. But now we got rain. Finally it has cooled off. Jess you are so talented. You have journalism, making videos, piano, singing, care for gardens and animals and cooking and canning. These are all good competencies...John

[@elizabethranstrom6800]

God bless you and I am so sorry for your loss!

[@ourtinyacres5173]

Hugs. condolences to all your family. Thoughts and prayers. Love your voice and those words touch my heart

[@deborahcarson5927]

This video was such a help to me. I am not in a good place, I love God, and desire a closeness with him. I know I have so many dreams and the huge garden beds have been one of my dreams for years, and I know in the future God will make my dreams reality. I just have such peace in nature, in the garden, and I love vegetables and flowers so much ! I so enjoy watching your videos Jess, I am so glad I found you on this inter web ! Blessings to you, and your family ! I look forward to seeing all God gifts you in the future, you are so good, and so deserving ❤️🙏

[@Wildevis]

I think this is a good video for people who thin that farming is sitting on the porch watching things grow :-) It takes dedication, a good routine and loads of hard work to have a well functioning farm. A day in your farm life would be a great video. Travel safely

[@shadowlandsfarmandcreamery5400]

That shirt looks lovely on you, I'm sorry for your family's loss and hard season. Praying for all of you!

[@sthompsen6653]

Love that song! You are so blessed and talented in so many ways. Thank you for reminding me to worship!

[@deanna4814]

Thank you so much for sharing your morning. Sorry for your loss. Have a blessed week

[@dorothyfloyd3829]

What a beautiful song. You sing like an angel.

[@fridomsnowbird5398]

Hey Jesse my favorite carrot for juicing is Danvers half long. I also use Passion fruit for that Tropical bang. You should grow some along a back fence. Buy the large purple ones at like Wholefoods and run the pulp and seeds through a juicer(metal basket type) that sends the pulp out the back into a hopper. After the seeds have been roughed up in the basket they will sprout really quickly in moist soil. The fruit is ripe when they are wrinkled and look like they are bad. Don't buy smooth ones.

[@megansizemore9207]

I LOVE that you teach your dog the "leave it" command. When i was a dog trainer that was the number one command I taught and recommend to people. It's so universal and such a great thing to have. So that's awesome.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Thank you! I’m so proud of how great my dog is. I worked hard with him but he’s also so smart.

[@ravincathomestead-cecilia2894]

So sorry for your loss, prayers to the family

[@mayhmmaydn]

I love youre real. Messy curls.. Wrinkled shirt.. Mug of coffee. Laughing at potential drawerless boys.. Then singing a million reasons. Ty Jess. Be safe

[@jehsdca]

My heart goes out to you for the loss of your aunt. Loses are never easy but knowing you are a woman filled with faith, I know you'll be okay. You have offered so many help by sharing your faith. I just want to say you and your aunt will be in my prayers. I lift up mine eyes to the hills and I wonder from where comes my help? My help comes from the Lord above, the Maker of heaven and earth. Amen.

[@denataylor7377]

[@deborrahdutra5599]

Sorry for your loss

[@anitahouse3600]

So sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family. the song.....the song hit me so hard. I had often wondered if I was the only one who asked God strange questions, e.g. what is your favorite color? :-) please finish the song and share it. that was wonderful. I needed to hear that. thank you so much for all you do. words don't come close to the gratitude I feel for all you do.

[@advancedrescue4083]

Your voice is absolutely beautiful! Your song had me in tears, I was going to look in the information under the video for who sings that song because I wanted to listen to it again. Then you said you wrote it. Beautiful song, beautiful voice! Thank you for sharing it ❤️🌱 I’m so sorry for your loss

[@nancycowan6109]

You continue to inspire even for us old folks. Loss of a family member or friend takes strength. Sometimes strength comes simple ways. For you, dearest, is playing your piano and singing. For me, it will always be a walk in the woods. But to sing like you .... ❤️❤️
