SURPRISING THE KIDS!

[@jenniestorer9226]

I love Phil saying "How could I be praying for you?" I have terminal cancer and people are often scared to directly ask me what I need or how they can help..I'm always grateful for prayers that I am a good example, a good listener, a patient receiver and a good Christian

[@kathleentia4692]

I WISH that Phil would start an on-line Sermon. I so love when he shares his words of wisdom because he is so wise. And I really believe his sermons are awesome!

[@amyandrews4942]

Yes Phil should start a ministry vlog. I took like what Phil has to say. Definitely a blessing

[@sunrrray]

Omg Kinsley is going to be the lil momma for the rest of her life to Cassidy. So beautiful!

[@juliewhite2688]

Kinsley is so tender and caring, Callieis too they are little beauties and Cassidy is lucky to have 2 sisters who care so much.

[@jenniferbledsoe2373]

PHIL!!!!! Love and miss hearing your talks! You always uplift me and inspire me!!!!

[@laurelflint1866]

Same 🌿💞

[@joane.3533]

@8:38 "How do you pause time?" By staying in the present. I love the quality of your videos and how you are both so articulate when you narrate your life with us. Very professional.

[@dianecelento4974]

Each of these kids have their own cute looks and personality. Perfect family

[@candisbar524]

Beautiful family!! Phil, you have an interesting way of speaking to the heart of God's people. When you speak, I stop and listen. I'm reminded of how wonderful it is being His child. Then I'm reminded that I need to be putting my best foot foward for the kingdom of God. Please speak more. We need you. Love in Christ!

[@regianesimoni-fox6750]

Those Girls always put a smile on my face. What a wonderful family.

[@elizabethseals2001]

Y'all's videos haven't shown up in so long. I can't believe how big the girls have gotten so big. They're all beautiful! Phil, I definitely wish there was a pause button sometimes.

[@lindahubbs8146]

Family , I’d the most beautiful thing to have, see and share when mom and dad are equally yoked in God.

[@KP29694]

Pluck the one lash that is growing out of the apex / 'pimple -est " part of the sty. It will pop.

[@ArstyImogenSky]

Not me 😢 falling apart when Phil spent time asking some thought provoking questions today. I was just thinking I miss the one on one talks by Phil. Thank you for taking the time to ask the questions today.

[@flamingogirl57]

What a great video and message !! I just had this kind of talk with my Granddaughter. I recently had a Cancer scare... Praise the Lord... no Cancer !! My son is now 43 and I can surely tell you how precious making those memories are. I'm now a Great Grandma and soaking up every moment I get with him !!! Love, hugs and prayers from Kansas.... aka Krissi57

[@marshajanssen4344]

So sorry for your loss. Your family member is looking down on you and the sun shine is her smiling down on all of you. 😊❤

[@karenpalardy1416]

So sorry Phil on the loss of your grandma

[@gerib.4093]

Brew some tea in a tea bag...as hot as you can stand it squeeze out the tea bag and then rest the tea bag on your eye and lay down for a few minutes...this works...trust me.

[@gerib.4093]

black tea works great or green. I have had a few of those and this is what has always worked. Then it will pop and drain...

[@Rainbowpandas]

My mom does this, too!

[@Suebearish]

Breastmilk in eye and the very warm tea bags

[@cindyheyman5452]

I was gunna say the same. Best home remedy you can do

[@flamingogirl57]

Absolutely 💯 !!

[@jeannieradtke7056]

I had to pause the video before it was done to write this. On the beach discussion- I just kinda shook my head because that sir is one reason why I watch. Your family's heart, and how much you're involved in the lord. Very much reminds me of my father, who passed in 2015. Then I thought about your table prayer, which I miss as well from my dad. Couple seconds later my heart piter patered. I love you guys, and all the joy and hope your family brings to me, and so many others in their times of need all over the world. Thank you for all you do ❤

[@trudyhendrix9341]

Alex, from a retired ophthalmic technician, what you had/have is called a chalazion (some laypersons call it a stye). It’s just a blocked meibomian (oil) gland on your eyelid margin. Treatment is hot compresses as much as you can until it comes to a head. Usually this happens under your lashes along the eyelid margin, but they can form on top of the skin like yours has, it just takes the path of least resistance. Once they come to a head if they don’t rupture and drain on their own, we express the contents just using a cpl Qtips or clean fingers(at home)/gloves(in office). Hot compresses beforehand will help keep the contents more liquidy. The thing is, if the contents are not removed, once the tenderness and inflammation subsides and the pore closes you will be left with a permanent lump on your eyelid. At that point the only way of removing it is to have it incised and scraped out by an ophthalmologist. Watching it develop over the last two videos I’m just itching to give it a squeeze LOL. Once you get it draining it will continue over the course of a day and just keep pressing on it every now and then til you can no longer get anything out. Wipe away what you can but it won’t do anything to your eye if you get it in your eye. It’s strictly an eyelid issue and not at all an eyeball issue. Hope this helps! PS antibiotics don’t really help because it’s not an infection.

[@charlee284]

🤮 Trudy, you must have an iron gut😊

[@isabelmariamendezrochaorop3374]

Sometimes, in the midst of our own personal struggles we find comfort in the words of others. It's almost like holding each others hands and saying to one another that everything will be ok. Just wanted to say thank you for being that helping hand that I've needed. God bless.

[@SJane3]

7:14 🤣🤣 That wager depreciated in value quite quickly, Phil! Hahaha

[@rhondarobinson2790]

I am like the kids I love the beach. Live in East Texas but I love vacationing on Florida beaches. I know I can get to Galveston area in 5 hours but the water is not pretty. Enjoy your family. Making memories for the girls.

[@hayleymansell7442]

Some people find that using a warm tea bag instead of a warm cloth compress can be just as effective, and tea comes with proven antibacterial properties that may help to reduce the swelling. Always wait until the teabag has cooled before applying, and use a separate teabag for each eye to avoid cross-contamination. Ps you have the most beautiful family ❤️❤️ xx

[@melissasterling5772]

The girls are growing so fast. It seems like just yesterday when my 3 girls were their ages. Now they have their own babies. ❤❤❤

[@amybostic1439]

I could listen to Phillip talk about anything. I heart always hears you and I need your inspiration

[@calimomma4741]

Phil!!!!! We loooveeeee Alex!! But have missed your insight soo much in the vlogs!!!

[@Dexy83]

I ask my toddler neice if she's speaking English? She always bursts out giggling and says YESSSSS! ❤❤❤

[@cristinweekley2547]

Absolutely just love the vlog and the way you edited it! Thanks for sharing your family and vaccination with us.🥰🙏🏼

[@amybostic1439]

Oh goodness Phillip. If I only had a button to pause life. 😢❤

[@beckysmith1602]

Sweet memories with the girls. Sorry for your loss Phil.

[@susanm7359]

Nice. Nice. Thank you so showing us parts and the beach in So. CAL. I'm in Florida but water there looked so much cleaner and sparkly.

[@ChrissyChrissyChrissy333]

DANA POINT, I would've loved a meet-up!! I was at Phil's very first sermon in AV. I love seeing your family grow

[@crystalwahpoosywan]

Have a great weekend amen god bless u guys

[@ginaexum3345]

Phil, when we met you and the girls at the market, you were genuine. It was a bit weird to meet someone you watch on KZbin. Towards the end, you asked us what you can pray for. We would love to meet up again. Having someone know the journey you are on and how it feels, helps the feeling of isolation. We don’t feel quite so alone, so when ever you all are ready to meet up, please let us know. Blessings.

[@kathyhuffman8419]

PHIL AND ALEX I LOVE YOUR FAMILY KINSLEY AND CALLIE ARE SO POLITE AND LITTLE LADIES AND CASSIDY IS A LITTLE BABY DOLL ALL THREE OF YOUR GIRLS ARE GROWING UP TOO FAST I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL I LOOK FORWARD FOR THE VIDEOS TAKE CARE

[@estherdegraaf5254]

Sorry you are frustrated, Phil. Don't feel bad. You are the best! Alex i hope your eye feels better! What a great trip for the girls🥰

[@mariecreighton5222]

How cute is this at the beach 😊🤗🫶🏼

[@amybostic1439]

I started the Seed pre/probiotic when Alex first talked about it and it has helped my stomach tremendously

[@perfectpikelet1444]

❤Alex the best thing to get rid of a sty is to rub it with a gold ring a few times a day. Best when it is forming. Your gorgeous girls are growing so fast 🥺🥺🥺🥰

[@philippaodell7705]

😂 haha reminds me of when i was 6 caught a grasshopper my mum said she would give me £5, btw caught it

[@bathanytucker2701]

Our oldest is Cassidy's age, and anytime we visit the beach she just drops and rolls in the sand lol best part of our beach days!

[@nickyandrews699]

I wish you guys did encouragement vlogs, your words make me think so much more clearly ❤

[@jorgelinabonetto8521]

How funny, you were a couple miles from where I live!!

[@rosegray9933]

So true I just lost my son passed away at 39 and I feel lost prayers needed Love u guys from Chicago

[@dianecelento4974]

I pray you feel strength and peace during this difficult time.

[@peaceful525]

I'm so sorry, Rose. My sister died at 39 and my mom was devastated. It's been 14 years and while the pain remains, she did eventually find her way out of the deep, dark grief. I'll pray for you today.

[@rosegray9933]

Thank you so much It's only 2 months and feel so lost but I keep my faith in God

[@LadyJane_Wis.]

I am so sorry for your loss, Rose. I will pray for God to hold you close and give you the strength to endure this hardship. From one mom to another…I can only imagine how empty and numb you must be. Sending love and hugs from Wisconsin. I’m just north of Milwaukee- so, not far from you. ❤

[@janaot8933]

I used to work in Dana Point. So beautiful. I miss it.

[@lindaflanagan9979]

My aunt always soaked a towel in a very hot Epson salts water mixture, and then put that on her eye three or four times a day a very hot rag, and would let that pull all the stuff to the top of the stye, and then she could squeeze it and get it all out so she only had styes for about two days

[@sonyah6699]

Ive been prone to getting styes in the past. What worked for me was to take an antihistamine and it took away the pain and swelling (same tablet to treat hayfever)

[@hblooser71]

Warmth will help it heal and make it disappear. Whenever I get one I take a washcloth and rinse with really warm water, squeeze it and then place it on the eye with the sty and gently press and stroke with the cloth in a direction towards the inner corner of the eye. Key here is to use the cloth as warm as you are able to. The sty you have is really big, so it may take a bit longer for it to disappear, but I'm confident it will eventually (sooner than it would have without the warmth)..😌❤️🤗 Hope you feel better soon 🤗❤️🙏

[@amybostic1439]

I love that Alex’s sweater SCREAMS I’m from Tennessee 😂❤

[@mwitter7871]

And Phil's cap has a gianormous Letter "T"!

[@adeliatalavera7646]

Bendiciones Familia!🙌🙏❤🙋‍♀️🇵🇾

[@elizabethhunter8481]

I had a chalazion cyst a few years ago. It was painful and annoying. When the swelling finally went down there was a firm, pea sized bump left behind. I did not take antibiotics because the ophthalmologist said nothing will make it go away except surgery. He removed it from the underside of my eyelid and it’s been perfect ever since!

[@tracydavies1335]

I know it’s probably mind over matter and it’s an old wives tale but I suffered with sty’s often when I was a child and my mum would alway rub a gold ring over it and I swear it would go away. It was probably just the pressure when it was ready to burst. I love your vlogs and I am not religious at all but I just love the positivity 🩷

[@bs6281]

Yes tea bags are great

[@ellendoherty7816]

Please can you ask your followers to pray for my grandson. He is critically ill with meningitis. He is 1 and very poorly. Please please pray for him

[@sissy8563]

Had to come back and rewatch, Phil sometimes your words reach right when needed.. Today I just helped pack my mom & step dad up to move to Colorado with my brother & sister N Law for good.. They are elderly, and their health is getting so bad so I know this move will be the last time they move until the Lord calls them home.. Whats so hard is im way down in Texas, ive never been this far from them and right now I feel like ive already lost them.. God knew I needed to watch again today.. Thank you, and the beautiful beach looked so fun.. Also im so excited yall got to see Dr.Hatch.. It hit me with her name today lol shes trying to get all these eggs to hatch 😅😂😊 .. Alex you are so amazing, I cant imagin the pain mentally, physically and emotional you go through but you keep coming back to keep trying..

[@Hebrews123]

Awe you guys went to baby beach and the scoop deck! Did you know one of the pirate ships sunk last year

[@joyceallen2596]

Swim suits and sweaters, so cute!

[@Trouble405]

As a teen I used to get stye's often. I would soak cotton balls in hot boric acid - as hot as you can stand and rest them on my eyelid. It would usually bring the stye to a head and cause it to drain. It would be gone within a couple of days. If it would not open and drain it would turn into a chalazion and then the doctor would have to lance it. ( I would sometimes sterilize a needle and lance it myself but that is pretty old fashioned. I am 70 so old time home remedies!)

[@annmarieholmes4246]

So sorry for your loss

[@lisamcgrath3132]

Loved the vlog, always love your inspiration Phil, thank you to you & Alex❤️

[@amm24]

I had to get 3 injections into my lower eyelid to get a stubborn stye to go away. It was painful but only when they poked it immediately started getting way better after that.

[@pamlatham5518]

I had a similar thing on my eye and it was a gland inflamed. Had to have it removed by a dermatologist after it healed. I know how aggravating that is. Sorry for your loss.

[@keltigs]

I was always taught for a stye to get a gold ring and rub it on jeans until it get hot you can’t touch. Then run it over the style 3 times only 3 times. It should pop it.

[@Dan5819]

If something is an infection, I use colloidal silver for EVERYTHING and it works -- even bladder infections, gum infections, cuts.

[@stacylein2448]

I just ordered seed they have a 50% off right now. I got mine for half off 4th month in.

[@cap32682]

Did you try clove essential oil, neat, around the eye, not so close that you get it in your eye? That helped me tremendously!

[@angelagoss3937]

I had a stye once before and the only thing I did was a warm compress and used prescribed ointment that my doctor gave me. I did not have to do any draining at all.

[@kokomo2828]

We are about to be homeless with Mt terminally ill husband. Please, please pray for us that we find a house soon and a vehicle. Maybe even get help with doing so. Thank you and God bless

[@missangela97]

i had styes so bad like that i had an ointment and eyes drops, the eye doctor recommend an eye mask at night, and eye lids wipes to clean it i also used tea bags to help.

[@ryleevavra8619]

In and out is coming to us in Franklin though!!!

[@dannifulker7494]

Lovely video ❤️👏🏼

[@agnesskibicka]

@Danni, agreed 💯. Hello from Poland 🇵🇱 and my channel 😊. We just moved to the countryside 🏡!

[@angelalopez4843]

I said In & out before you said it lol 😂

[@ribbontribute]

Since you soak eyebrught with tea liquid eyes bright , a few times a day with warm cloth, over time it will heal a stye,,, known to heal nasty styes along w antibiotics ,it can take a week or 2

[@gwenythjackson1372]

Would you ever think about doing a monthly zoom call or something with the community on social media

[@hannahr9589]

I just learned (never tried it myself), that taking a teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg in a glass of warm milk cures styes on eyes🤷‍♀️

[@danatramell3036]

Alex, research "chalazion". My husband got one on his eyelid and it looked awful! He ended up having to have it removed and it healed up so nicely. Hope you can get it taken care of.

[@eileenbickford8775]

I hope you get it drained my oh my Alex. I'd have to poke it. ❤

[@angelaminutolo5112]

I wish we could have a date night.We have a 24yr old who is severely disabled mentally and physically,so her sister is the only 1 we trust to keep her,but she works full time,she lives 3 hours away,so if we are lucky we get 1 date night a year,but we are old,so it's not that big of a deal

[@LittleHouseOnTheMountain]

Colloidal silver got rid of mine in 2 days

[@mdrookiam]

Have you tried hot tea bags? It helped mine drawl itself out.

[@chavahoffman]

I had something just like that on my eyelid. I went to three ophthalmologists until one finally diagnosed it as a Chalazion. He had to excise it. Look up Chalazion on the internet. It is a slowly developing lump that forms due to blockage and swelling of an oil gland in the eyelid. A chalazion often starts out as a very small, red, tender, swollen area of the eyelid and is generally not an infection.

[@pamelalugo1537]

AMEN

[@karenaldridge8307]

When do you plan to return to Tennessee?

[@robertalordagarcia9992]

I have had a few sty in my eye that's bone arye,are, used a clean needle and gently poked it on the underside ,got some glycerin,eye drops, to coat the eye and they were gone in 24hrs

[@katiebechtel9320]

when I've gotten things stuck in my eye Ive tried warm tea bags on my eyes for a while and thats helped things come right out. maybe a tea bag for a week would help? i'm sorry its so uncomfortable!

[@kristie3730]

So sorry that you think the chronic anti biotics killed your gut Alex but also so relieved to hear someone else say this. My 16 year old daughter has been diognised with endometriosis and has terrible gut problems and I am certain it's all stemmed from a spell in hospital where she was on iv antibiotics. I'm in the UK and my daughter has been taking biokult as it was recommended by her dietician but it makes her feel unwell, have you tried that one before? I'm going to try and look for this one to try. She is also now completely intolerant of dairy. Thanks xxx

[@tinabloomfield7228]

My 8 year old came home today with a stye on her eye lid. Pretty ironic to then click on this video. Hope your eye feels better.

[@karenpalardy1416]

Did you see Dr Hatch?

[@TheVintageBumbleBee]

Have you looked into chicken poop and styes? I had a friend that had a stye like that and it was suggested it came from breathing in fungus ?? from chicken poop. Hope your better.

[@TheoriginalANGEK439]

Bathe it with hotish water and cotton wool balls. It looks like it’s full of puss ! And looks like it’s ready to explode. Once it does it will heal. 👍💕👍
