Vlog#66 When life throws you a curveball

[@coopie624]

I prefer swimming in shorts and a tank top. It’s much more comfortable. I think you should put together a recipe book of all the foods you show us on your videos. They look very good. Great video!

[@andersonhome2576]

Hi Giselle. What a great example on how to act when adversity comes our way. Great video. Thank you 😊

[@gisellewaldner9406]

😊😊😊

[@ChetsWife3]

I’m sorry for your loss, Giselle. I am impressed with how well you handle loss and disappointment (canceled trip). In thinking on it, I realize knowing that God is in control, eliminates all emotion on your part; only acceptance. ❤️

[@reneematlock9657]

I am sorry for the family's and community's loss. May God bless and keep her family secure in the knowledge she rests in His arms now. I have to tell you, the music you sing is beautiful.

[@tracybynum5042]

I agree with the cookbook idea. That would be AWESOME!!! So sorry for the loss in your community. I'm sure it's being felt in every home. God bless...xoxo

[@Ralph-cc9xy]

You took that disappointing turn of events in the most inspiring way! You are so right we are not in control of what life has in store for us. We are only in control of how we choose to handle it.

[@brecruz4832]

The dress you have on when you made granola is one of my favorites of yours ❤️

[@cindiallain8542]

Wonderful drone footage

[@juliehappoldt6015]

I am very sorry for you and your community's loss. My deepest condolences. On a happier note, I need that granola recipe. It looks so good.

[@sortathesame8701]

I would also love to have the granola recipe! My mother in law made the very best granola, but she passed and no one had the recipe, but this looks very similar to hers.

[@Arizona74Frog]

I would love the recipe too

[@pennyduncan5980]

Giselle you are a blessing

[@pittschapelfarm2844]

Not real sure how you make loading a dishwasher so interesting, but you pull it off! Love your work.

[@hkastell908]

Haha I know, right

[@bflogal18]

What I remember about The Thornbirds is how the author described the scenery and landscapes of Australia. Yes, the story is epic, but the writing is superb.

[@ngdlist]

One of my favorite books. A classic on my shelves

[@christineiscrocheting]

Yes, the Lord is in control and there is a reason for everything. My condolences for your colony - elders teach us so much💜🙏

[@vergieclark131]

Prayers for peace and comfort ! You are right we are not in control God is ! 💜🙏🏼

[@patricknorton3243]

I love your simple life for God . Its is so peaceful to watch your Vlog .God Bless you

[@09mlucas]

I'm so sorry for the loss in your community.... My prayers are with you all ...

[@joannevanhyning9513]

Isn't it so comforting to know that God isn't responsible for our pain and suffering..(death, hard times ect..) James 1:13. I am so sorry for your loss Giselle. Im sure your kind words and deeds were a real comfort to the family. Thank you for your videos..your efforts do not go unappreciated.

[@lt.danslegs9737]

Thanks Giselle for another wonderful insight to you and your communities life.

[@jennlynnl]

It’s sad when we lose a member of our community/family but you are right God doesn’t give us a warning or reason, we just have to go on with life the best we can 🙏

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Beautiful episode. We face many disappointments in life but we gain strength and comfort by remembering that God is in control and knows what is best. Blessings Giselle. 🥰

[@grantbradshaw7907]

Very enjoyable and peaceful videos from an amazing lady ❤

[@bettyjean2793]

For swimming we wear have the same rules. I totally agree with it.

[@sarahrickman6609]

I love what you wear swimming. I do the same. I feel more relaxed and free. I know nobody's seeing anything that is just for my hubby. My hubby says I will protect you. But the truth is he can't protect me without the Lords help. Lords Blessings to you. SHALOM ALEICHEM.

[@Midnight-rj4ed]

Im still watching but dont forget the bear spray!

[@bunnythug]

Hello, hope all is well for you and your community. Blessings.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

It will get better...thankyou 😊

[@newsworthy7724]

God Bless the family. She is resting in Jesus's arms. Thank you for sharing

[@leannam]

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you, Giselle. -Alberta, Canada

[@Kristina-D1111]

Another uplifting video😊 my dad has been unwell for a while it's been very difficult and heartbreaking to watch but your videos remind me that God knows best we just need to trust his will even when it doesn't make sense to us God bless you and thank you 🙏🏻😊

[@dreaG45]

Thank you Giselle for another great video. I appreciate how you took the disappointment. God bless. ❤️

[@kpaycee]

I looked forward to this all day and was glad to be able to take the time to watch. You are so right, God is in control and our days were numbered by him before the earth was created. It's comforting to know nothing is a surprise to God.

[@VampFaye]

Giselle, have you considered making a separate video/series on all the herbs and tinctures that you use? It'd be great to learn about all of them.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

No actually I haven't yet..its a wonderful idea thankyou 😊

[@condod414]

🙏🙏🙏 and condolences to the families on the passing of the community member. Your very correct in saying that life is precious and we shouldn’t waste it. Thank you.

[@submarineradioman5535]

When I lived in the Holy Land the boys and girls went swimming separately and dressed modestly. Quite similar actually.

[@jenniferr2057]

I need your Mom's set! What a lovely thing to do for you!

[@michelelynn6914]

So sorry for the loss in your community! You're definitely correct God is always in control.

[@yvonneziemba8812]

Giselle, you are a beautiful, kind woman who I think took the change of plans amazingly. I am sorry for the loss of a lady in your community. I pray I can be that selfless in adversity as you were. Love your videos and I hope you have a blessed day today ❤️

[@stormy2962]

The ThornBirds was my favorite books. I loved it. Still do.

[@lolalady]

I have to say,.I so love watching your vlogs. So heartwarming and uplifting, makes my day. Sorry for the loss in your community. Btw, your dog is adorable .

[@vanessagherardini2885]

May her memory be a blessing. ❤

[@chelseaarntsen4005]

Thank you for the beautiful song! I must admit, I am sad to see how low your river is. Those carrots look so good!

[@jessjulian9458]

I am very happy that you understand we are not in control, never have been, never will be. And it is Ok.

[@lhallora1]

I'm sorry for your communities loss Giselle. You have a beautiful soul and your videos always make me feel better. I hope you know you bring a lot of joy to many people's lives with your videos. Thank you.

[@sharonjones4718]

Hi Giselle love watching your videos your so happy and full of fun I do alot of knitting and crochet I would love to make you something I stay in Scotland

[@cindiallain8542]

Thank you!

[@lruss5050]

I am so sorry for your loss! I liked the look of the Bridal Party Squares. Life is certainly uncertain!❤️

[@karend9445]

Thank you.

[@veragingerich2087]

I very much enjoy and appreciate your videos Giselle . I like your humility and the way you look at things that happen in life that only God can control . His timing, His plans... if we fully trust Him we have nothing to be anxious about

[@kathyfettkether3690]

As seen from the sky or on earth, you live in Paradise!!

[@amandazplace5663]

Date squares! My favorite!

[@vanneway4892]

Seeing your videos pop up is such a joy! So sorry for the loss in your colony. Saffy and I send you greetings from South Georgia!

[@rrd9826]

I have never used essential oils. Will have to look intoI the allergy one. Thank you for sharing.

[@wesskirby4929]

Thank you for sharing your video! Praying for the family and friends of the one who passed. Again you show you wisdom of excepting the change in your plans for camping. He kept you all from some thing bad. That's how I look at it.

[@candyrenee2152]

My sympathy for family and community at the loss of a member. I love the song at the end. God bless.

[@kathieponder7708]

Prayers and hugs

[@cordiscoscorner]

Hi Giselle, sorry for your loss. I find the Avett Brothers song "No Hard Feelings" to be inspirational.

[@judithbutler9695]

Powerful message.

[@SusanJeanne49]

Thank you Giselle and I’m sorry for the loss of one of your members. May the family be comforted by the Lord. Yes, he is in control and we never know when we will be called home. Pray you have a good week!!🥰🙏🏻🥰

[@peggycorbett2679]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Prayer for your colony.

[@dinacallahan990]

So much fun! We wear swim dresses or swim skirts, they are not so heavy and dry pretty quick. The material is swim wear material just made modest. Have a blessed week.

[@carolburns8667]

Lovely to see all you beautiful fresh food😍

[@lorihaley2292]

You work incredibly hard!

[@kellyestes5482]

You have generous hearts, thinking of others even if it might disappoint yourself. I’d love to see you post some of your bar recipes.

[@nadinefroderman157]

He will keep His arms around you all as you grieve. Blessings. I love the song. It touches my heart.

[@peerlessinid]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch nachträglich. Thank you for taking time to share with us.

[@grateful1929]

New here. The song at the end really touched my heart. ❤️ You seen like a kind young woman. 😊

[@j1mmusj4mmus]

Your summer work is in full swing, you would have enjoyed a break. But it is nice you all pay your respects together, maybe you go camping another time. Our local swimming pool is closed. Seems to be popular with your youngsters. Only women in your choir this week. It is nice when you can give freely and not count the cost. Good video.

[@Jolynn777]

Hi! I'm very sorry for your community's loss. Digize is the best thing ever! Thank you for sharing your life every week. I look forward to your videos.

[@kimigaines9478]

I love your focus on life Giselle. After 2 bouts with brain cancer. I take life as it comes. It's so good when you live one moment in time. Lots of sundunlies and you just have to lift you hands in Praise God for all things. Sorry for your loss!!💖🙏

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Thank-you 😊 if you don't mind me asking how are you doing? Are you in remission? I do hope your doing well

[@kimigaines9478]

I just celebrated 8 yrs cancer free. Just had my 6mo MRI last week and follow up with my brain ONCOLOGIST. Everything looks great. After 8 yrs in remission for the 2nd time, I will now be able to see my dr 1x a yr. Gisele, I am almost 60 and this happened in 2003. I love life, I love Jesus and I know He healed me both times. My testimony is so incredible. I was paralyzed on my right side after I had brain surgery in 2004. I regained most of my feeling and I wear a brace. My brace has butterflies which represent HOPE..I have a fish pond in my backyard and I named it HOPE...My journey has been hard, but awesome at the same time. I am a walking MIRACLE!!!😚🤸‍♀️🦋😡

[@kimigaines9478]

The angry face was an accident..lol!!🤪😃

[@gisellewaldner9406]

@@kimigaines9478 that is amazing I'm happy to hear that you are feeling great and that you are cancer free 😊😊 a miracle that you are 😊

[@janicealbig2135]

We wear swim skirts. They are made of swim suit material. Very comfortable, not bulky and dries quickly. Modli is the company I order from...💜

[@homegrown1015]

It's true that life doesn't always go as planned. You go with the flow! There will be other times for camping ( the bears won't miss you). Family and community come first and everything else can wait. Good vlog this week❣

[@SmallWonda]

Lovely singing and sentiments (prefer to the jaunty music!) Hope you'll get your camping trip soon, but special how everyone joins in to say their farewells to a deceased community member and share sympathies - no one ever has to suffer alone. Like the drone footage, too - keep safe...

[@pusherw2861]

Thank you for sharing 👍

[@BetterIdeas.]

Thank you for this vlog.

[@darlenepohn882]

So sorry for your families,, and colony's loss. Never easy to get over.

[@mackenzieb2218]

I LOVE WATCHING YOU GARDEN. We buy all our vegetables from a hutterite colony here in Alberta. I will NEVER again buy carrots from a grocery store.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

😊😊

[@kedeglow2743]

I'm very sorry for your community's loss, but your quiet acceptance of the change in plans is a wonderful witness to anyone who sees this video. Whenever I'm out in the garden now I think about you. I was picking Blackberries in the side yard yesterday, and I thought, "I wonder what Giselle and her Sisters are doing right now,...". I like to use those times alone in the garden to pray for people I know and people I don't. You all are in my prayers often.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Thankyou 😊😊

[@sangbob7790]

💐 Bless all. 🙏 Thank you

[@deannabrussels5910]

Our local Mennonite community has a terrible loss this last week. A family lost their 2 sons and their daughters was injured in a farming accident. The week before this family lost a cousin in a plane crash on their way to a mission trip. Their community is usually quite private but have allowed us to host a benefit for them. My heart breaks for their loss.

[@Lily_1010]

May God comfort them like only He can.

[@debrawaldner5777]

Amazing video o enjoyed watching it and I feel sorry that u couldn't go camping hopefully u will be able to go next week

[@WandaKay4u2c]

Much love and prayers for comfort for the community and family at this time. It occurs to me that routines bring a lot of consolation in grief.... and all of the routines you mentioned point to the Comforter. Thank you for sharing your loss and how you face it as well as the beautiful voices and hymns. God bless!

[@CarinaPiersay]

Hi Giselle... I’m so very sorry for the loss of the lady in your community. Thank you for sharing how you do a funeral. Hopefully you can reschedule your camping trip. Have a good week. I always look forward to your Saturday vlog. 💛

[@judymcintire8061]

So sorry for your community's loss. Hopefully you'll be able to go on your camping trip soon. Love your compassionate spirit!💖🙏💖

[@yayajo9697]

Giselle, I am sorry for your communities loss. Thank you so much for still taking the time to post. You are so right we are not the ones in control god is. Watching your videos has helped me so much this week. I was in an auto accident and they helped me not to think about it.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Aww I'm sorry to hear that my heart and prayers are with you, I hope you are doing OK 😊

[@yayajo9697]

Thank you.🙏 fr the birds in the berries I used to see blue berry growers in Florida use those giant sock things that air is blown through. You see them at car lots sometimes. It’s like a giant nylon tube and a compressor blows air through it. It flips all over and as long as you move it periodically it is a good scarecrow.

[@maryahofer6626]

Hi.. would it be possible to get the date square recipe? I would very much like to try it

[@calvinwaldner1167]

Love the song...great video

[@karenchakey]

What a lovely community.

[@utoobcandy]

Those bridal party squares look amazing! Are they just like a rice krispy treat made with golden grahams, marshmallow, chocolate chips and sliced almonds?

[@lindsay_may]

I hope you and the girls will get another opportunity to go camping. All my love and best wishes from Australia all the way to your community for the loss of your lovely elderly lady.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Thankyou 😊...I think we will be able to work it out so that we can 😊

[@MidnyghtGamer4944]

My condolences to the family and your community for the loss of the loved one.

[@swampophelia2098]

I read the thornbirds years ago, it’s was one of my favourites for many years

[@khadijagwen]

I love singing acapella.

[@ayronsmama05]

Hi beautiful Gizelle!! I was missing the notification for this video. Facebook is gonna make me get upset by messing with my watching my favorite Gizelle!! I miss camping so much. It has been so many years, since I went. Oh I am so sorry for the loss of one of your ladies! And even though it saddens me it made my heart swell with love over your sentiment acknowledging Gods plans above all others. You all are amazing and true blessings! Much love and prayers from us to you! Marilyn from Tennessee

[@marsharotramel6348]

I am sorry for your and the community's loss. Bless you, you are an inspiration.

[@sheriturner6118]

Sorry for your loss from your community. Digize is one of my go to also. Good for heartburn as well. Drop under my tongue and so much better. Tea tree oil great also for a lot of things.

[@merissabates5054]

My grandmother teaches at a Hutterite colony in SK & I’m always so fascinated hearing about her day. I’ve been there a few times & have met a lot of people but I’ve always been so curious to know more, your videos are amazing & I absolutely adore your videos!!! Thank you ❤️❤️

[@gisellewaldner9406]

That is nice 😊, and you are most welcome, I'm so glad you like them. ❤

[@annetteslife]

If I was with you picking blueberries half of the bucket would be gone because I would be eating them all! I love fresh picked blueberries 😋

[@marujaa1]

So sorry for your loss. My condolences to the family and to the entire community. P.S. can you post the recipes for the squares?

[@kathiehird715]

My deepest condolences to the family🙏

[@arielgomez9962]

Hannah is such a joyful young girl she could be a good vlogger like you..

[@SleepyAxolotl82]

So sorry for your community's loss. I find it very freeing to know that I'm not in control in life. I worry much less knowing it's not in my hands. Have a wonderful week!
