DIY Stone Fireplace Hearth - Part 1 (

We are back to work and are excited about how our stone hearth is coming together. We also bring the walnut wood we have chosen for the mantle to the house to be worked on.

[@galewatts6349]

So very glad you three were there . I miss her,, she was a part of my life for 75 years

[@denisedavis6596]

Brooke, I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful woman, you look so much like her, what a blessing for you to be there with her as she passed. I’m so grateful that I still have my mom. I’ll dread the day she leaves this world. But I know I’ll see her again one day. You look good in the tractor, I’m glad it has heat in it. That mantel will look fantastic. Thanks Josh for helping with the stone. What a beautiful hearth.

[@freedomranchhomestead7961]

We are so pleased with how the fireplace has turned out! I will be posting a video on it getting completed later this week. Give your mom lots of hugs and lovin'...you won't regret a moment you spend with her 💖

[@suehartwigsen1655]

Brooke. I'm sorry sorry for the loss of your Mom. I know the next few few months and years are going to be tough for you and your sisters. Thank God for letting you be with her as she passed, which I know was best for her and you at the time, even though it doesn't feel like it right now. The fireplace hearth is going to be another focal point to the house. I was so glad to view this video. The males in your home are great workers.

[@freedomranchhomestead7961]

Thank you so much Sue ❤️. It is definitely tough having her gone, but the fact that we were so blessed to have been able to be with her and know she is no longer suffering brings me so much comfort. Yes, the fireplace is going to be an awesome addition to the house and will definitely be enjoyed for many years to come...can't wait to see the finished product! I am grateful for the strong men in my life who can do all the heavy lifting for me 😁. Thank you for watching & I pray God blesses you and your loved ones 💕

[@quebot1111]

My heart breaks for you. She sounds like a beautiful soul and I know she was proud of her children and grandchildren. Praying for you and your family.

[@freedomranchhomestead7961]

Thank you so much ❤ The whole time I was producing the video I kept thinking that I couldn't wait for my mom to see it (she is one of the reasons I started documenting everything, so she could see what we were up to!). Her joy lives on through me and I plan to spread it far and wide 😁. Thank you for your prayers...means the world to us!

[@quebot1111]

Well, she has a front row seat now so she can keep up with yall. I agree I always felt we could save the world if we tried hard enough.@@freedomranchhomestead7961

[@denisedavis6596]

Brooke, your comment brought me to tears. I know how fortunate I am to still have my mom and that she lives close by. I have a daughter that lives in California that I’d love to live by, but I’ll stay in Ohio until my circumstances change. Sending you prayers and hugs.

[@thegrahamericandream531]

Hey Julie! We are excited how the project is coming together and it is a huge relief for Chuck...he has been befuddled about how to do it! Thank you for the continued prayers ❤

Thank you so much 😊. She was an amazing woman and I am eternally grateful for all she taught me (especially about how to laugh lots!). I appreciate your kind words...means the world to me!!

[@jaysmith9062]

Brooke, so sorry to hear the sad news about your Mom. What a special blessing you got to be able to share that time with her. I’m sure it will be difficult moving forward. However, there are so many great memories that you have they will keep you moving forward. Your whole family are in our thoughts and prayers. The ranch looks beautiful in snow.

[@freedomranchhomestead7961]

Thank you so much for your kind words and prayers Jay ❤️. I truly appreciate you spending the time to support us and to offer your condolences. And yes, the snow adds so much beauty to this place...and fun with all the awesome hills for sledding! Take care and thanks again 😊

[@normp.3657]

deepest condolences on the loss of your mom. just lost my mom in august. brie's cheesecake looked delicious.

[@freedomranchhomestead7961]

Thank you so much for your kind words Norm, and I am so sorry about the loss of your mom as well. It's tough 😢. My prayers are with you as you continue to mourn her. Yes, Brie's cheesecake was amazing and my mom was thrilled 😁

[@johnconway8220]

My most sincerest condolences for your loss of your mother. I only just found your channel a few months ago and have been working my way from the beginning forward. I really enjoy your videos particularly the 'build' videos. Again, my condolences.

[@freedomranchhomestead7961]

Thank you so much John. I truly appreciate your kind words and we are so glad to have you join us!

[@stephanrobinson4050]

So sorry saying prayers for your mom and you all

[@freedomranchhomestead7961]

Thank you so much for the prayers and kind words ❤

[@eugenechampagne3587]

Welcome home. I'm so sad to hear the news about your mom. We share the same intent about leaving in peaceful sleep. I'm 77 so I can relate. Tell the guy's they did a great job chipping away at the monster stone. Kinda like life eah.I missed y'all.

[@freedomranchhomestead7961]

Thank you so much Eugene ❤ Yes, leaving in your sleep would be the most amazing way to pass on...I wish that was the way everyone left this earth (and pray it happens that way for you, but not for many years to come!). I think the guys really had fun breaking the stones apart! They are coming together better than I thought 👏🏻. So great to hear from you!!

[@michelleblandine]

Ohh so sorry Brooke about your Mother, sending you hugs and lots of love from Nairobi❤❤❤, you posted something that day your first calf was born on IG but i didn't want to pry so i just waited for you to tell us but continued to pray for you and the family ❤she is with Jesus and smiling down at you guys ❤we love you and hope you find divine peace during this difficult season 🙏 great job with the stone work Chuck and Gabe looks so big and handsome 🥰

[@freedomranchhomestead7961]

Thank you so much Michelle ❤️. It's hard losing your mom, but I am confident she is pain free and laughing her heart out in Heaven with Jesus and her late husband, and that brings me peace. I always appreciate and look forward to hearing from you! Yes, Gabe is becoming quite a fine young man and we are thrilled he comes home from college to help us on Sundays...makes my heart sing 🥰. Praying you and your beautiful family are doing well!

[@CCRider5312]

TO MY FAVORITE VA HOMESTEAD KZbin FAMILY! Brooke I’m So Sorry for the loss of your mom you have my deepest heart felt condolences! I’m sorry I posted a comment on this video praying for healing for your mom before I saw or knew the whole story. Dear Brooke & Chuck & The Rest Of the Anderson Family I’m truly Sorry for your loss!!! Just know I’ll have you in my prayers for the lord to give all of Your hearts comfort & peace in the coming days weeks, months, & years ahead. May God Bless You & All your Family Brooke in Jesus Name I pray. Amen 🙏🏼 Love you guys. CC Rider

[@freedomranchhomestead7961]

You are an incredible man and I am so grateful we get to share our lives with you ☺️

[@CCRider5312]

That’s one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me 😊! U and Chuck are one of my most FAVORITE refuge channels that leave me after every video feeling the love of what Christ is all about. Thank You Anderson family I love you and I sincerely mean that! CC Rider

[@CCRider5312]

Brooke if I might add another comment: We subscribers who have been with you guys from the beginning know that you’re the Videographer, editor ect of your videos. So I’m speaking for myself and probably most everyone else who have also lost loved ones. “ We Understand it takes time”. So take all the Time You Need and don’t rush or worry about videos right now. We know you love doing these videos & you love this channel you’ve created as much as we love and enjoy watching your videos. But there’s a time in everyones lives that all of us have to pay respect to others privacy. We all go through things like this in our lives & we at the very least we hope others understand & respect us & give us space in those difficult times. So what I’m saying is take all the time you need to get your Moms Estate 🏡 & other affairs in order. Your subs aren’t going anywhere, at least I’m not I love this channel !!!! Brooke you have done an amazing job on KZbin with this channel & your video work and editing has became great. You & Chuck’s mission with this non profit Freedom Ranch is going to change so many kids lives for the better. Two of the things that Jesus Commanded us, He Said: Suffer not the little ones (children) for I find them most precious to me. He also said for us to: Look after the widows and Orphans. So this Ranch with your non profit will be doing as Jesus told us we should do by showing a loving heart and kindness to troubled children & orphans. U mention something in this video that rang a bell with me about you, You said your mom was always laughing a lot and never met a stranger. I understand now where you got that amazing trait. U make me laugh 😆 in every single video your laugh is totally contagious to me 😂! Chuck makes me laugh in his shy wittiness also so I’m not leaving him out, his just looking at you and grinning without saying a word because you’re being goofy 🙃 makes me laugh 😆 also. But Brooke Your cheer and laughter on your videos really makes me feel great from watching your videos. There’s been times I was so down in the dumps and really needed a pick me up and your upbeat laughter gives me that all the time watching your videos. Gabe and Brie Both should be comedians some day, but I’m sure they got that from you and Chuck, But especially you ! 😂🤣 But take time for you to heal and take care of all you need to take care of & When you’re ready to upload we’ll be here, We send our deepest condolences and May God Bless You all in this somber time of loss. I love you guys & You’re in my prayers & I pray God sends his Holy Spirit to Comfort you and fill all your hearts with peace . CC Rider

[@chuckanderson1770]

CC you continue to amaze me with your incredible support of this channel. I cannot wait for Brooke to read your comments. She will love this. Thank you so very much! God Bless!

[@freedomranchhomestead7961]

Oh my goodness, tears are streaming down my cheeks. The words you have written have filled my heart with peace and joy, more than you will ever know. Thank you for everything you have said to me and Chuck...you have no idea how perfectly timed they are. It is because of you (and a few other loyal subscribers 😁) that I keep working on these videos in hopes that they bring a bit of sunshine and laughter (and maybe some hope) into your world. I am trusting that God has a plan for all of us and that if I keep plugging along and doing what I love (working with my amazing family, filming and producing these videos) that He will bless the channel so that His work can be done to help others. The devil likes to get in my head at times to say "Quit. This is not worth your time and energy. It's not going to work". Then I read your comments and a few others who truly support us, and I am reminded that I must keep moving forward and wait for the miracle to happen. Thank you for your support of the last 2+ years!! CC, something tells me that you and my mom would have enjoyed hanging out 😊. She was a good woman, not perfect all the time, but always perfect in her love for my sisters and I. She once told a friend of mine's mom that she "had so much love in her heart that sometimes it hurt". I can truly relate to that and I believe that is why I am so driven to help kids who are hurting and are needing some of that love. Thank you so much for your continued love and support. Your comments encourage me, remind me that there are amazing people still in this world, and inspire me to continue to give you a bit of entertainment to enjoy. God bless you and your loved ones ❤️❤️❤️

[@CCRider5312]

@chuckanderson1770 Chuck you’re a good man, You’re welcome and God Bless You my Friend! 😁👍🏼

[@CCRider5312]

Awe Brooke you’re sincerely welcome just say what I mean and mean what I say kinda man. But now you got me crying you know us manly men like Chuck and I aren’t supposed to be crying 😢😂. But it was tears of gratitude and joy so I guess that’s different. Just don’t tell nobody 😂 Actually I think it was two kamikaze gnats flew in each eye at the same time is reason my eyes got moist 😉😂🤣. Love you Chuck and family and don’t you ever stop making KZbin videos. Trust me the lord has put it in my spirit that this channel is gonna be something big one day but it will be in his time not yours. But once you get to 100K it’s gonna catch on because Brooke your laughter and spirit will attract many. Remember the movie 🎥 field of Dreams ? Build it and they’ll come, Brooke & Chuck you’re not just building a channel & a children’s refuge you’re building a family legacy. One that after you’re long gone your grandkids and their kids will have something to watch and say that’s my grandma and grandpa who were pioneers of the YT channel and the non profit refuge for children in need. But most importantly not to be ignored, you’re spreading the love of Jesus. And Heavens knows our crazy world needs the lords salvation more than anything else right now. Brooke Don’t you give up this KZbin thing and Chuck don’t you dare let her... It’s your gospel for him and he needs all the disciples he can get right now. I love you guys! CC Rider
