[@jbigmamma3192]

I love this. I have a friend who just started creating master pieces with stain glass. Her family isn't so encouraging, so I am trying to find places where she can sell her work.

[@Fifi-50]

Words of encouragement is very important in these times. Thank you! My great granddaughter was born with a small tail. It fell off before she could have surgery. She loves bananas also. 😂

[@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY]

So glad your Little Moegly (sp?) is due home for a visit soon ❣️ What a sweet story. I can picture a three year old with a mirror in hand 😂

[@mazzy23star1]

Amen ❤

[@LA-wv5gd]

Oh, Steve, you have a wicked sense of humor. My husband used to tell our kids these same kinds of things when they were little. We still laugh about some of them too. I hope ours weren't too scarred either! 😂How much encouragement are we giving each other now days? If you read public comments to online articles, it looks anything but encouraging. This is one of the reasons that I enjoy your videos like this so much. You always encourage & bless my heart with what you share. We need all the encouragement we can get! Thank you so much.

[@PhyllisStokes]

You are so very welcome! Thank you for the encouragement!

[@darlenestokes8825]

Been thinking about you and the kids during the plane tragedy. I am praying protection on you all and God's Blessings!

[@sandyshephard4571]

I love your Sunday videos!!!

[@PhyllisStokes]

Glad you like them!

[@MsSweetpea1958]

The story of your son is so cute, I used to go very dark in summer (Canadian so it's not year round) and my mom kept my brown hair in pigtails because I was a tomboy. This resulted in me being called/mistaken for an Indian, the word Native hadn't come into culture yet.

[@dorisbeale4940]

Thanks so much ❤

[@andreaarchambeau9499]

We’ve been apart for too long! Missed your wholesome storytelling.

[@Jenneo7435]

Encouragement is SO important! Just a simple it will be okay from someone makes a world of difference to me. Thanks for encouraging me! ❤️ Now, I'm not sure sure about the monkey story..😅

[@lisaposey6450]

Love it! 🙌

[@PhyllisStokes]

Thank you!!

[@donnathompson4067]

haha hoho that's funny....y'all were a mess !!! Good message today and well needed. Thank you and safe travels.

[@cindymichaud7111]

Hmmm, I'm wondering. What do you suppose the Lord uses instead of bananas? Poor Mogli, I mean Will. Thanks Col. Steve, God bless ✝🍌🍌🍌

[@amethystsamia]

I don’t normally watch your religious topics on Sundays, but the bananas caught my attention! You’re right, we SHOULD be happy for others victories, but Steve, there is no logic to emotions. Zilch. Squat. Zero. Naught. None. Maybe the person not happy for your promotion had never had anyone be happy for his successes. My point is let’s try not to judge someone’s emotions. We don’t know what their circumstances have been. I think we should try to lift them up with kindness and support. Oh well just my wee blonde brain thinking. Great message! Thank you!

[@davidharris5323]

This was great Steve ! ! I'm going to try the tail scar thing on my 42 year old son ! Probably won't work but it's worth a shot.

[@PhyllisStokes]

LOL!

[@laurafitzpatrick9667]

That story is so cute! I used to tell my children if they didn't behave I was going to sell them to the gypsies. I dont even know a gypsy but my youngest son didn't know I was kidding when he was little. Finding this out 30 years latter. The things we say!!!

[@kathleendegennaro6845]

Good morning! Love that story. Kids are such a joy. Please thank your son for his service. Does he still enjoy bananas??lol wonderful message. I try to lift up all i come into contact with daily.

[@jjsolly5039]

Hi Col. Stephen, Yes, it is so wonderful to encourage the success of others! When I was told a former dog Agility competitor had succeeded to the highest level, I was ecstatic for her! But the person who told me was dumbfounded, because she expected me to be jealous instead of Joyful! So, how is Will's Walk With Jesus Now, since you brought him up to believe he was something other than a child of God? Just wondering? Does he believe in Genesis? Or the myth of evolution? In Christian Love, JJ & Service Dog Ruthie😊🐕‍🦺✝️🙏💕
