I'm Not the Man I Used to Be

[@heidistanton4583]

I'm binge watching Deep South Homestead while I drywall my house ugh. Longing to be outside gardening. Thank you Danny I've shared this with a friend in need. Much love and blessings to you both ❤

[@TheSoviet3838]

Thank you for sharing, Danny.

[@JamesCouch777]

After battling cancer and then three heart surgeries resulting from the cancer treatment all while battling diabetes and running a 200 acre ranch, I can say that I understand what you are talking about. I finally admitted I couldn't do it and we have downsized to a 40 acre farm (the youngsters call it a homestead 😉 but I will stay here until they drag my cold dead body away.

[@alicerees1286]

Hello Danny 🖐️ I'm laying here watching one of your old videos from 4 years Ago. I just love hearing you talk. You are so open with your life. Even my husband is starting to look forward to watching and hearing you. When I was a young girl I used to love listening to my elders talk instead of playing outside. I learned so much from them just like people are learning so much from you. And for that I thank you. Especially when you talk about God.

[@mizundersood]

Oh wow! These comments. All of you guys are amazing. I can only pray that God allows me to live to see 60+ years. To see my children raise their children. What a blessing. You guys are survivors and if my generation was smart we'd pay attention. Good bless.💖👑💎✌✌✌✌✌

[@shelly8387]

Literally brought me to tears. The losses my family have suffered the last few years have taken so much out of me. My health as caused me to give up almost everything I love to do. After dozens of Dr's visit the last doctor told me that I suffer my grief to my core and it has caused the majority of my health issues. No prescription can heal that. Only my Father in heaven can.

[@SevenSproutsFarmstead]

Shelly it’s very true. Depression actually has physical symptoms. Not just mental or emotional. Your body literally hurts. Breaks down in ways. Gets sick... infected. It’s awful. 7 years I’ve been dealing with it. It’s starting to get a little better, but I completely understand you.

[@beulahacreshomestead1927]

And so He will. Im in similar circumstances. Some days I feel very hopeful, others I am deeply sad. The Bible doesnt promise everyday will be wonderful, it promises the eternal happiness of those who push through with Jesus to the end. Stay strong, your in very good company.

[@heidistanton4583]

I hope you're feeling better ❤ God is watching over you ❤

As a grief therapist, you have confirmed my theories on illness

[@donnalehmann3294]

Hey Danny and Wanda, I used to have that arrhythmia when I was young. They had to give me meds to slow my heart to normal. Then meds to take every day to keep it at normal, but I couldn’t stay awake on that medication, so I learned that when I feel it coming on, I go to a quiet place, ask God for His peace, and slow and steady my breathing. Sometimes I sleep for 10 minutes or so, and that puts me back on track for the rest of the day. Wow! You are anointed by God to minister to the body for these days. You are sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. I am a 69 year old woman from Wisconsin. A widow of 7 years most recently. My first husband died in 1990, I had a friend who died, then I married again, and nursed my husband through lung cancer until his death in 2010. I met a wonderful man who helped me through my mourning. Realizing that it isn’t Gods’ will to be consumed by grief. Then he passed away. I am completely given over to His will now. I am no longer mourning because I know I will be with my loved ones in heaven some day. I have much left to do here before that day. I would like to recommend Dr. Eric Berg to you on His you tube channel. Wanda, please look into this. He is a very wise man also, and you may get some different ways of dealing with every day problems. I love to watch both DSH and CD channels. You are fun and informative.God bless you both!

[@jenniferannfox2316]

I happened upon this video today but after I started listening to it, I knew it was meant for me to really listen to what you are saying here. Thank you.

[@chinnahale1255]

This is precious and some how just what I needed to hear. ❤️ God bless

[@wayneleviner6557]

I have no ideal why I started farming, something inside of me is saying plant, and plant that. I don't know what it is, but I thank the LORD for giving me the wisdom and the strength to do what I do each and every day. I have been at farming for about 5 years, and I still don't know everything, but I am learning every day. I have told you what is wrong with me, but I keep going by the grace of GOD.I am 61 years old, but at times I feel like I am 20 again.Thank you for this video, and may GOD bless you!

[@glenmorse9533]

I feel that tugging in my heart to homestead is that God put Adam in the garden to keep it, and after Adam fell, God said you will work the soil by the sweat of your brow. We are ancestors of Adam, and I believe we are drawn to keep the garden in our lives. God has ways of showing me who he is the more I realize who, and what I am, and there is a lot of life lesions in the garden.

Thank You Guys! @ Deep South Homestead.

[@yvonnethornton1433]

You are so right, when we come to the point that to know what real life is, then we live. We moved to the mountains almost 40 yrs ago and there we homesteaded. To make money, my husband worked in the neighborhood doing what others needed done and most of all to begin with he cut and sold firewood., then as time went on he started working for the city, which was not big deal, because there were only 7 people listed as residents. Others lived in the surrounding are, but when one person in particular, found out he was now working for the city, Her response was, "Oh now he has a job." This let me know, her previous thought was he wasn't working and so was lazy. Not so, we both worked plenty hard in our service to others as well as the community. Take Care, and we love your channel and what you are teaching us.

[@justintime913]

Danny you and Mrs Wanda are such a blessing, I have been watching you guys and learning for a few years now, somehow I missed this message. All the while I have been watching video's thinking I had to find my freedom, you just reminded me I always had it, that small quiet voice tugging at my heart got me out of the city a year ago, it was a big change, I have some work to do but don't regret it for a min, God's green acres is where we belong. Thank you Sir.

[@beulahacreshomestead1927]

Thank you for sharing this. I have believed for a very long time that my 5 acres was supposed to be a refuge for my family and friends in the desperate times to come. I have seemingly insurmountable problems to overcome, death, divorce, illness and lack of funds, but I know that I know that God will provide.

Hello my friend..just saw your video on sugarcane..made me think of home in Perry Florida. I grew up near sugarcane fields and would always walk over for some chewy pieces from the old man at the mill.Kind he was.I also saw the town of Wiggins Ms. mentioned in you description. My wife was from there and buried there beside her father who had died 20 days earlier.Your words on loss of loved ones rang so true.Im gonna be 68 in 6 weeks.I agree with the changes you spoke of.I am blessed with the gift of music and still play 4 gigs a week ! I speak to young people often about life and living.Their ears and hearts are open , which makes mine stronger still.. here's to all that follows happiness, for it surely comes first.. peace

You have given me so much inspiration and hope that i have already began to take ACTION and CONTROL of my life. And yes Danny homesteading has been a dream of mine for many many years now. I am also in the process of writing a book that i hope to Finnish by January 2019. Keep up the good work brother an God bless you.

[@cherrysheets9909]

I am 63 and a widow with 5 Acres and it is not an easy thing to be a Homesteader on any level except a small garden and a couple of chickens. I am very encouraged by all of your talks with us and you are both such a blessing to my life. God bless you for sharing your Homespun god-given wisdom with us. I am healthy and able to do most things but not as strong as I used to be nor as fast. Unfortunately we do have to adapt to our older bodies, and God gives us Grace for that. It is important to have a partner if God brings one into your life, you are very blessed

[@tgooding]

Every change that came in to my life was a lesson. Some of them were incredibly difficult. Some I’m still working through at 53 years old. Never stop changing; never stop learning. Even when it hurts. God bless 🙏🏻

[@stanmashek3085]

Good morning Danny I watched your video its a old one but new to me.i really enjoyed it and have sent on to my kids and some friends. It brings back allot of memories to. when I was young I was strong and could work along any young person and do more than them. I am like you I was raised on a farm and worked hard with farming chores milking cows and picking corn by hand and feeding hogs and chickens and hogs. I thought so many times about how I would love to travel and see something different and go places when at home never had any money just work and work . my lifes goal was to leave this farm and see the world . so I joined the MARINE CORP AND TRAVELED allot and loved that something new haha then after boot camp at PARRIS ISLAND we headed to VIET NAM and there was a bad time in my life and only 18 years old and saw so much and my buddies being killed and would asked GOD every day to watch over me. Before I like to drink and have fun with my buddies here in the USA and play baseball on weekends. I LEARNED there just how short life is one day my buddy came by me on a mountain in VIET NAM and said stan I wont make it today and I remember me and two other buddies telling him oh you will be ok he was assigned to check on how many viet cong was killed around the front of us and about 30 minutes later we heard a land mine go off and hear corpsman corpsman and later found out my buddy had stepped on a land mine and killed him. so I learned allot and turned my trust into GOD. Since then I learned life is short just like you said an you can lose it fast. so from there I came back a different person and went to work in a shoe factory and worked hard and learn and learn worked to learn everything there was to know about making shoes an became pretty darn good at it haha. later my shoe company wanted some one to travel to korea and Taiwan to buy shoe uppers and send back to our factory to finish them up with soles. from here I ended up spending 30 years in all Asian countries and yes I saw the world an Europe and south America and mexico and every where I went I tried to tell people just how precious life is. Money is good to have but so many things are more important HEALTH IS THE MOST AND HAVING GOD I N YOUR HEART IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. so now I am old and cant do the things I would like to do. loved to have a big garden an can stuff but now can only do a small garden but thats old I still can look back at my life some hard times some sad times but I have to say I have lived a good life an now I am like you maybe help someone that Is having a hard time and tell them never to give up. sorry this is so long hope you dont mine. thank you for all your porch time talks an I have found why I am here also. GOD BLESS YOU. STAN MASHEK

[@kaneyhobelar3618]

Wow. Thank you for your channel, I have watched a few of them and I completely enjoy watching the two of you together, it's beautiful. I am 62 years old and pretty much alone. Parents are dead, my only child is dead, my husbands both left me for other women... I have not been able to figure out how to shake the grief that grips my heart everyday, no matter how much I try to force myself through the days. My heart has been longing to move from Oregon to Tennessee where my sister has invited me to live on her land. We would love to expand gardening and raising animals and become healthier and more self sufficient. I've moved across country many times in my life, but making these decisions alone at my age, fills me with terror most of the time. But I just can't shake the deep feeling that I should be there. So I continue to pray. There are complications there as well as here, but somehow I feel it's what I should do. But I've just lost my confidence the past few years, and it's hard to make solid decisions. Your video came at a perfect time for me. Thank you for sharing yourself with others. God bless you both.

[@yoshithedinoyoshi8454]

Mr Danny, I'm writing this with tear filled eyes. It's as if your speaking right to me. I have questioned my existence for many years. I have that tug on my heart to live the homesteading lifestyle. I can't explain why, but it's a daily battle. I simply yearn for a more simple life. To give the best life possible for my children. My health of course has put things on hold. My knees are bad, my back is bad. Should this stop me? No!! Does it limit me? Certainly!. I think of the what if's per say. Can I physically do this? Guess I'll never know unless I try, right? I don't want a huge homestead. Just a small one with my family. Thank you for giving me that extra little push I desperately needed. I will definitely be talking to the father and asking him to lead me. Sending much love and appreciation from Arkansas :)

Interesting how just the right encouragement comes at the right time. Last few years it's been heart attack, stents, gall bladder surgery, triple bypass and a month ago hernia repair. Some time in there was told I am in stage 3 renal failure. Husband has congestive heart failure and refuses to take the meds. I've been in tougher spots but for some reason this one is getting me down. Thank you for opening up - I know how hard it was for you...and I'm going to watch this over again when I feel buried.

[@Raffields777]

Mr. Danny in tears I am listening to this. I too take life seriously a bit to much in the sense of holding back laughter at times maybe emotionless at times. Three weeks ago I had a surgery on my neck, had two disc put in and literally they had to straighten my neck. I found out in 2016 after an MRI because of pain for years in my neck lots of complications. So for two years I was on tramadol lowest dose and the second year added gabapaenten which is a pill they give seizure patients for nerve damage. I went from active and weighting 98 pounds and out doing my husband to weighting now 129 and I was lucky to plant a tree or two before wearing out. So long story short three weeks ago I went and had a two year MRI because i wanted to know before our final move to missisippi where my health was at. Well he said that surgery was adamant. My arms were flossing strength because of the pressure my spine was taking. He said one day operation and go home same day. After operation is when he came in and said it was more serious than expected but my healing time shouldn't be long. I am off all medications the ones before surgery and the evil pills he gave me after I flushed down toilet. I have never in my life have been through such horror..it's been three weeks and I am up my seventh night with very little sleep for 7 days...My legs and arms just kick on their own at night..I have tried every sleeping aid Wal-Mart has to no adveail that's why I am up tonight. This has weighted physically, mentally and spiritually on my husband and I. ALL THIS HAS HAPPEND SINCE SURGERY. I have never prayed so hard and been so upset with God in the same breath as to why he can't just help me sleep one night. But have gotten so many revelations in my sleepless nights so there is some positives..My neck pain is go almost all gone but can't sleep..the doctor says that my nerves and muscles will adjust and everything should fall back normal but for now I can't see through it.. The one thing I remember God speaking to my heart in the wee hours of the morning as I am pouring my tears to him is grace....I said grace lord? What does that mean Lord? As I watch this video I think I understand ...God's grace is suffciate..but am I graceful , do I have grace...i have used that word so many times but still haven't looked up the meaning. Love in Christ, Raffields

[@mrssugarlump2]

Oh, my goodness, your story of your life is almost a mirror image of mine! And I do everything I do to try to encourage others to grow their own food and experience the sheer joy of it, aside from providing for their family. I would have given anything to have known about homesteading all these 40 years I've been a dedicated gardener. I love watching al the homesteaders on KZbin but find myself being so envious that I missed that window of opportunity to do it myself. I do very well with my gardens and encourage a lot of people and it does my heart good. Thank you so much for sharing your story on Porch Time.❤

[@ellenfisher6341]

Thank you, Danny for this video filled with love, words of wisdom & experience in life. Seldom does my husband sit & listen to a video I am watching. But he came in from collecting the eggs as I was just starting to watch this. He listened intently & I could tell he was touched & encouraged by your words. He is 75 & I am 68. We both are noticing 'changes' in our bodies & abilities. It has really bothered him lately, but he still works very hard in his garden, cutting firewood, etc. He worked all his life in construction & his specialty was concrete. So to have to admit that his body won't allow him to be quite as gung ho as he once was is hard , I know. So thank you for a very timely message !

[@stephanieclark2934]

Beautiful message

[@davidkirkman2223]

Danny i understand what your saying and i also can relate . now in the last 3years i have gone from a 52-53 year old going strong through pig headedness to a 56 year old person who has problems walking and also fell 17 months ago and tore all my ligaments from my shoulder to going through surgery to repair said shoulder. Yes those dreams will all still be their but on the back burner for "NOW". but in 2018 i have a rezulation to just do my best to move forward and hope my heart holds out and my knee keeps me walking, and my shoulder to keep letting me work with my hands. But if the good lord says nope then i will deal with it then. As for homesteading well my goal is to be self suffusion and deabt free on most part. Love your porch time Danny , it gives people hope and prayers. Keep up the great stories

[@rough-hewnhomestead4751]

Good video! Love the Buffalo check shirt and the background. I paused the video to discuss with my husband, what led each of us individually to begin homesteading. He says that, once he got a taste of being more self-sufficient, and once he saw the health benefits of growing/responsibly sourcing foods, he was on fire for homesteading. For me it was different. I came to homesteading by way of frugality. We experienced a big job loss 5 years ago and I was determined to change our spending habits in order to live well on less money. THAT led me to an interest in growing our own food and sourcing in bulk from farmer's markets in order to can and such. THAT led to an interest in gardening, raising chickens, composting, and herbal medicine. THAT led me to new friendships with other farmers and homesteaders. .....and it keeps snowballing....and I LOVE it! Great topic! Happy New Year!

I truly want to Thank You for Sharing Your life issues...Ms Bee Lady and I spoke today for hours and she's so kind like a sister I never had! But Eric and want to come down for a week to help with prepping for spring...Eric's busy time start at work in March...I'll email you guys in the next day or two...we're bracing for negative -24 deg weather for just over 2 days so I'll get a quick email to Wanda's email in 24hrs. God bless you both! 😉💚🙏

I know this is a year ago but thank you for doing this, God bless.

[@mudpiegirl2906]

Exactly! I wish I could speak eloquently as you , God bless you and thank you

[@tennesseeriverhomestead1242]

Mr. Danny I know exactly what you're saying. I'm 66 I've had 3 heart attacks, 2 bypass surgeries, I now have 24 stents. I'm planning a trip to alaska in the spring and a river trip on my pontoon boat that will last indefinitely. I killed a deer this year. I live alone. as you said I've learned to work around my disabilities. I also have bad knees (bone on bone) that they won't fix because of my heart. I live on social security. In short don't ever give up , we just have to adjust. Take care and the best of luck to you.

[@peewees6199]

Thank you Danny. God bless!

[@michiemca]

your talk today really resonated with my husband and I. we are both trying to find our new normal. It is hard to do... but sometimes it is necessary.

[@candeekring6908]

So much respect and love for u and your wife! Thank u for your wisdom, encouragement, truth, and so much more.

[@happilyretiredmark2964]

I have heart issues as well Danny and struggled with some of the things you spoke about as well as doctor orders. But, I got tired of all that quick and one day told my wife I'm going back to living the way I want to and if I die doing it I'll die happy and start my eternity in heaven a little earlier than I figured. Thats just the way I deal with it all....everyone has to find their way!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Happilyretiredmark I have started doing the same thing. Thanks

[@arliew]

God Bless You Sir. You have been a blessing to me.

[@bogusbaby]

BEST PORCH TIME EVER...

[@cindythomas681]

I appreciate you and Wanda so much! This is a great video! I've learned a lot watching your channel. I'm living in a small town on a small lot . I stayed with rabbits, got ducks last year, and got chickens for Christmas. I have a decent garden. I'm a home body too. I just don't care to go places.

[@angelinebaekhave2326]

What an awesome story. Don’t let anyone define u...go after u r dream!

[@DanielOrfield]

This is a Godly, honest, real gentleman right here y’all. There is not much wisdom on KZbin often.

[@timcombes9054]

Danny, I understand perfectly what you experience with your heart condition. I have had high blood pressure most of my life, but as I got older it got more serious. One condition I had was like yours, where your heart rhythm was erratic. After much consultation and consideration, I agreed to have a pacemaker installed. Danny, it changed my life. It solidifies most of what I do so I can enjoy things like I used to that were debilitating in the past. You may want to look into it, sir! Happy New Year, y'all !!!

[@Raffields777]

As I continue to watch this it's as your speaking directly to me..thank you for this video I needed it tonight!

[@sandieblack4860]

You are for sure an inspiration to me. You give me things to think about and you have helped me to see things in a different way. I find myself thinking about things you have talked about. I find myself doing things you have suggested us to do. I have started to put extra food by and have a plan in my mind when things go sour on us. I have learned to pressure can and be more self sufficient. I have always been passionate about gardening and providing as much of our food that I can but I find you have been a huge encouragement to me to go the extra mile. I have 4 children with families of their own and when the time comes, they won't have much idea how to survive. That is my goal, to try to teach them, (even if they don't realize they are learning anything) I try to be a good testimony to them, no, I am not perfect, I am not trying to pretend I am better than them. I just want to be able to share the things that I have learned with them. Not only with them but with people I come into contact with. I have always saved my own seeds from my garden but now I am sharing those seeds with my friends, and I am happy to see they are sharing with their friends also. Thank you for all the wise words you share with us. I would just like to ask if you and Wanda would add me to your prayer list. I just found out today that I will have to have the hip replacement surgery that I have been putting off. I have so many other health issues including heart problems and side effects from medications that cause my bones to become thin and porous. So the surgery could be quite a challenge. I am usually a very positive person but am finding depression to be my enemy at this time in my life. I pray every day that I can be strong and have trust in the Lord. Thank you again for the encouragement and words of wisdom you share with us. Blessings to you both.

[@susannielsen8688]

You are such an encouragement! I appreciate your honesty, and willingness to share your knowledge.

[@ladycat661]

Love this thank you for sharing it is so true, for me things in the last 5 years has changed in my heath and life I'm still trying not as strong but still trying . God Bless you Mr.Danny
