51. Watch one of your videos 💜

[@margaretmatheny]

Hahaha, thank you:) so kind of you!

[@palcieek]

This is exactly what I needed- your channel is actually my go-to whenever I feel burnt out. My life is completely different than yours, but seeing how you intentionally seek joy in things that many would call mundane or boring helps me rediscover "the spark" every single time. Thank you.

[@augustahinton4110]

You are a beautiful human and it makes me happy listening to you and how you find ways to stop the busy noise around us!

[@Dana-mb1hd]

WORSHIP THE LORD….. YES MARGARET! 🙏💕💕💕💕💕

[@sherigreen2961]

So good Margaret!!❤ I feel JOY when I wake up and there is a video of yours to watch. You are changing the the world in small simple ways!! God bless you and your dear family!🙏

[@margaretmatheny]

She’s words, my goodness that’s so kind of you to say. Thank you, Sheri. Sending so much love to you!

[@MollyDoolittle]

THIS is sooooo good! What I needed today! You are so encouraging Margaret! I am so thankful to God for people out there like you, who show me constantly that I don't have to live according to the world's standards, but can live a fulfilling, happy, and peaceful life. Focusing on the good, it's just such a good mindset shift that is so sooo beneficial. Love you!

[@margaretmatheny]

Ah sending so much love to you! Those words are so kind and uplifting, thanks for taking the time to send some encouragement my way!!

[@dawnm5834]

You have beautiful energy and I love these ideas 💗 my kids are 12&13 now and I’ve been trying really hard to intentionally connect and know their worlds. We have a lot of emotions in our house right now, but connecting has brought us a new peace!

[@margaretmatheny]

Thanks Dawn, those words are so kind. Sounds like you're doing hard but very GOOD work in your home. So encouraging to hear!

[@-living4jesus4ever-]

I especially really like this video. Thank you so much, I’m going to save it and watch again and again. Our world needs more positive, thankful, genuinely joyful people. Thank you.

[@margaretmatheny]

oh my goodness, I'm so touched, thank or sharing these incredibly kind and encouraging words!

[@-living4jesus4ever-]

@@margaretmatheny I am blessed they brought you joy. I’m grieving the loss of my sister this week and truly your ideas brought me fresh perspective to choose joy and move forward to keep healing. 🙏✨🩷

[@Lindsey-iu1yj]

Margaret, this video is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much. I’m going to take a few of these an try to apply them to my life. ❤️ We’ve had a super hard season of life the last few months and I’ve felt just so unhappy about the consequences and lost plans/dreams and I need to work on trying to stay more positive. I looked around and in the midst of it all my house has gotten cluttered, still also needs to be unpacked, I need to find community in our new city, I need to spend some more time with Jesus and more time in worship, we need to find a new church, new community… it’s no wonder I’ve been so unhappy. I need to prioritize what’s important. Thank you again

[@margaretmatheny]

So welcome. Truly so touched that my life lessons could help you and support you! Sending so much love, you're doing so great.

[@victoriajohnson3034]

Learn to not be offended and learn to have a forgiving heart.

[@margaretmatheny]

Oh, love this one.

[@Ericka.Alvarez]

Yes!! 💖💖

[@lorenstoller5685]

These ideas reinvigorated my want to add happiness to my life!! Thank you! I loved the idea of celebrating seasonally, but solstices have pagan roots rather than Christian so I wanted to hop on and say Liturgical celebrating is a great way to do that from a Christian perspective! I've been leaning into that and it brings me so much joy, God created the most perfect natural rhythm!! You are an inspiration, thank you for doing what you do!!

[@heatherledger23]

Love it love it love it! Thank you so much! Be blessed 🎉

[@marlijnnoeverman3298]

I LOVED this video. Amazing how honest and pure u are. When I think of God I imagine how He has pure emotions; like pure joy. When in this world do we feel that pure joy? I think in the little things you share is a part of pure joy we can reach for. I bless you with an ungoing experience of pure joy and a closer relationship with God who gives pureness. Every time your videos inspire me to do better with giving my soul the rest it needs. Looking forward to the next video :)

[@margaretmatheny]

Uh, these words make me emotional. Thank you for taking the time to send some encouragement my way!! It keeps me going, I know my story is one to share!

Thank you, Marge ❤️.

Thank you for sharing, I feel better just knowing it’s possible to be happy again.

[@margaretmatheny]

[@BritanyShaw]

Hey lovely I’m so grateful for these videos! I do have a question … I have a 2 year old and a 6 year old, my 2 year olds tantrums are out of control right now and the girls argue so often and I have a minimal home I say no I’m a massive outside Mumma I eat well I don’t use light at night and somehow I still am feeling like I want to loose my mind some days and I can’t understand how I can change it, I try so hard to regulate my emotions and I never loose it on my kids but it’s so hard! What do I do ?

[@margaretmatheny]

Hey Brittany! I'm sorry you're in a tough season right now. I don't think I have the answer for you, but I know that in the seasons where I've thrown my hands up and said "what do I do", the Lord has met me there and looking back I can see what he did or didn't give to me to help me through. Sending so much love!
