Vlog #67 However did we manage? over 500 jars of veggies + NEW kitchen appliances

[@cherylstrickland866]

That song blesses me so much. Brings me to tears. This world is so hard sometimes. This song brings our hearts back home to Jesus.

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Wonderful visit Giselle! Tell the women that their singing is so uplifting to me...not only the song but the loveliness of their voices. In my twenties I hit a period where I was so involved in my service to the God that I became “tired”. My Pastor told me “it is ok to get tired OF God’s work but not IN God’s work”. It has served me well over the years (I’m 72) and Scripture is our roadmap from God on how to get through this life.. thank you for your wonderfully uplifting episodes. Blessings. ❤️

[@gisellewaldner9406]

I will and thankyou for the wonderful message, what the pastor told you, scripture is a roadmap thank you for the reminder once in awhile we all need a little push to keep going 😊

[@teresakryvenchuk6205]

Well said ....the bible is a road map for us. Living word from God. Love the videos.

[@teresakryvenchuk6205]

I agree....love to hear the singing. They harmonize so lovely.

[@anncarroll7354]

Thank you for the encouraging words Kathryn bless. ❤️

[@kathieponder7708]

beautiful

[@puppetrymoon9663]

I love your lifestyle. So much structure which is the foundation for feeling of safety and security. Also the community aspect. Plus the simplicity of it all…you all don’t worry about mundane things. So refreshing to watch your vlogs. And Kona is just the sweetest baby

[@veganinthecity3749]

I wish I could be as productive as you! But I think it’s easier when your are working together as a group, everything is more enjoyable.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Yes, working together makes it fun 😊

[@RRaucina]

2 people can do the work of 3 and 4 do the work of 6.

[@HannahMitchell-Art]

Aye, I wish I had a team of people to work with all the time. So much better than all my individual work lives

[@RRaucina]

I forgot to say this does not apply to government and municipal workers. In that case 6 do the work of 2.

[@lindseybuckle7647]

This was so good! I love how you end each video with a song and a scripture. It's an encouraging way to start my day :)

[@lizworkman9967]

Giselle, when you were weeding I saw that you were pulling out purslane. You are keeping that aren't you, because it's a great thing to have. It's higher in vitamin C than an orange and good for the lungs. I wish I had a crop like you have!

[@sarahrickman6609]

Yep saw that too!

[@johngrober6244]

Just some explanations,I started at the beginning off your vlogs .just to learn and see were you began whit vlogs ,🙃🙏🏻🤝👍🙏🏻thx Giselle

This is so amazing. I wish all communities would come together for work and fellowship. A task on ones own is so daunting. I loved the music and scripture.

[@martialbers3486]

Giselle - you are so sweet and kind to offer words of inspiration and hope to all of your viewers. I'm praying that you and your community will be spared any difficulties or injuries from the heat, fires and the long work days of summer. There is always a path through the mountains even while it is not visible from the valley.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

I love that...its a beautiful way of looking at things 😊

[@irinaki2011]

I am going through that moment where I need to be alone and reflect as life has been challenging these past couple of months, and when I saw you going for a walk, I connected with you right away and I understood that I wasn't the only one. I always have Christ in my heart and that's why I never lose hope however the challenges get difficult and that is what keeps me going, just like you Giselle. Whether we live alone or in a community, God is with us so we need only to trust in His wisdom, and when the time comes He shall reward us according to our deeds and our patience. We all have a cross to carry and God gives us as much as we can handle. Your videos have been an inspiration, may God bless you, your family, and your community.🙏

[@michelelynn6914]

Giselle what a beautiful message and this is definitely something we all need to remember!

[@dhitch5572]

That is an admirable week of hard work. I am inspired by it. Thanks

[@davidinvenio3094]

THANK YOU for these videos Giselle - They remind me of my farm and raising my family and two daughters, the huge garden, putting up jars of fruits and vegetables for the winter, the horses, and everything else about farm life that I miss so much. Your videos lift me up and make me smile. And that's a huge gift. THANK YOU and God Bless you

Words that ring true. Fear of the unknown is what most people have and understand but also Fear of the known I've not really heard anyone say before. It made me think on it.

[@beckywszalek726]

Love the video this week. The song at the end is stuck in my head in a good way :)

[@nadinefroderman157]

What a beautiful hymn! I'd not heard that one before. We were blessed with an inch of rain yesterday. We were thankful to get it. Hubby and I canned 6 qts, 4 pts of string beans Thursday evening. We try to can 50 qts for the 2 of us. We use pressure canners. We've had cherry tomatoes to snack on, too. The misery of Wednesday's +105F heat and humidity is gone for now but we have Canadian wildfire smoke. I feel for those animals and humans that wildfires affect. Give Kona a hug. She's such a good, beautiful dog. Thanks for sharing your week with us.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Im so happy that you got rain the littke that we get is just gone the next hour 😑...oh my that is hot

I do believe 10:00 those plants being pulled are called PURSLANE. It's a weed for most people however it's a nutritional vegetable eaten around the world. It's eaten through out Europe, Middle East, Asia & Mexico.

[@jillbayer641]

I would love to be working with you ladies! That kitchen. So much production. Great job.

Wow Giselle I needed this. Yesterday we had to put my sweet boy Ollie to sleep. I have to be honest, I am struggle hard. Yes he was a dog but he was my shadow, my companion, my best friend for 8 years and I feel so empty without him. Your message just really hit me and I know this is all in God's plan, I just pray for strength to get through these next hard days.

[@pennyduncan5980]

[@jerijames2876]

Wat a time to be watching. I was feeling exactly wat you were saying. Virus is somewhat in control. Son, girlfriend and kids moved to another state for jobs. Now we are alone. No extra laundry, cleaning, cooking, tending to dogs and no loud kids playing and arguing. Miss it, was alot of work but i thought it won't last long and then they will be gone. Feeling a bit lonesome and wondering about my worth. Getting older and lots of wondering about wat is to come. But thanks for your words of encouragement. Can never be too old to do the Lord's Work.

[@wesskirby6473]

I have said before you have wisdom behond your years. Yet you also have that beautiful childish nature that Jesus said. You must be come as a little chiled or you can not inteter the kingdom of heaven. Bless you Gisel!!! Keep doing the lord's work!!!

your video was such an encouragement to me this week. Finding purpose in work, joy even is such a good reminder. The hymn was lovely. I think it will repeat over and over in my head this week. Bless you and yours. I'm in the midst of canning and harvesting myself. But I do it alone unless the grandchildren are over. They are so interested.

The weeds you are pulling at about 10:15 are called portulaca - they are edible taste a little like lemon. ❤

Regarding taking some time alone and having diffincult moments in our life, I saw an awesome Instagram post last days and it seemed to me so true: "God didn't remove the Red Sea, He parted it. Sometimes God doesn't remove your problems, He makes a way through them". There is no easy life, we all struggle here or there but with Him we can overcome every obstacle.

[@SmallWonda]

What a week - I remember my Granny bottling beans - so many, but we hated them! I wondered why you needed so many dresses - you might have to show us how you manage to get them so clean. I must say I have so much respect for your community - when one understands a little of where you came from, it is quite awesome. What happens if someone slackens off - although, after 500-years of pulling together and giving it your all, perhaps that's not in your genes, although I quite understand that sometimes hard work is h-a-r-d. Glad you have a pool & Kona and the fresh air and beauty of the land. Keep safe!
