I really appreciate the way you interpret the Bible.. I say this because in the 52 years I've been on this planet, I have been told that interracial marriage is TOTALLY against Gods word. I could never understand that. I mean if a man loves a woman and wants to spend his life with her to honor her, have a family with her, put HER needs before his own needs, how can that be wrong? The color of ones skin has NOTHING to do with what's in their heart. Imagine a world where everyone interpreted the bible the same way... my mind is blown, and I am thankful to you two for sharing that with us!!🥰
We have eight children. When people ask us why we had eight children, my stock response is, "Because we didn't want nine." It throws them off and they say nothing else. I do not tell them about the miscarriages. Children are our future.
I have four children. I was a only child as a result I am fascinated with large families. I usually start off saying this when I am talking to a mom with lots of children. If I were younger we would have had two more!
My grandparents was an interracial marriage here in England in the 1950’s the racism my nan went through to be with her African husband was unbelievable and this was from her own family, I count my blessings everyday if it wasn’t for my nan I wouldn’t be here today, stay safe and blessed and Happy Mother’s Day Sarah 💐
I had a professor in university that said, "Every family has it's own culture so all marriages are inter-cultural". I loved that! I am in an interracial marriage as well and sometimes it surprises me the strong feelings people still have about it.
It stinks that racism can be taught. My own grandmother thought this stuff and made rude remarks to my cousin about her kids. It was awful. I'm so glad my own mother taught me that skin color has nothing to do with a person's character.
when i was in high school my father hated me for having a boyfriend who was black. then to be my husband. all my life he said awful things to me and even to my children. ironically, i had my dna tested and i am almost 2 percent nigerian. oh i love irony! unfortunately, my father and the other racists in my family have passed away and never found out about their ancestral blood. :)
White Momma here, my white mother in law “ disowned” us after we adopted two black children out of the Foster care system... and we’re not from the “ Deep South” where you may expect such ugly and antiquated prejudices to still exist. We are from the “enlightened” North.( Pennsylvania) ... so yes racism is still alive and well unfortunately.
I’m sure you made all your ancestors proud by race-mixing. And only people who are socialist, Marxist, and believe in annihilating other races to make just one race call people who object to race-mixing racist! How more racist can you be if you want to breed out one race for another, which race mixing ultimately does. So please spare us the racism argument when your family members and we’ll-intentioned people object to race-mixing. PLEASE. Geez-whiz!!!!
My husband was 3rd generation Japanese American. We married in 1967. To my knowledge we never faced prejudice. When we were dating in high school and went through periods of not dating, my mom took Mikes side! We were married for 44 years, until Mike died. We had two beautiful daughters and five grandchildren. We were blessed. You and Solo bring out the best in each other.
I am in an interracial marriage with my husband I am pacific island Maori, and he is Australian Italian. My mum remarried a white NZ Man and I have two mixed race half siblings. Alot of my relatives have married interracially. I am so grateful that my immediate and wider family embraced interracial relationships.
God doesn’t make mistakes and just look at how much He has blessed your marriage with all those beautiful children. He planned them before the world. I really wish race would stop being an issue and just appreciate each other for their hearts.
Last answer , excellent. I'm a senior no more marriage , kids grown. But it applied to me. Not letting their problem become mine (water in the boat).... You speak to many needs. Great answers, thank you.💕💕 love your family. Just lovely in so many ways.
My younger son is married to a beautiful young lady from Mexico. They met as missionary workers in Mexico and she moved here with one of the workers. One day she missed the bus coming from work and started to walk home. My son saw her walking and tried to stop her she got nervous started walking faster as he called her name . She turned around and saw it was him . It was a miracle to see her here in us. They got married several months later work in the church and still do missionary work in mexico . I now have a beautiful grandson. They never kissed until the wedding and were each others first. I hate prejudice in this world . Everyone should not see color.
travellady68 There's nothing wrong with seeing color, we are all different and that is ok. The problem comes when individuals hate someone because they are a different color or they feel superior because of their own skin tone. That's were the problems arise
ECCENTRICITY That's fine but that isn't what she said. People reference "not seeing color" in different ways so if that's what she meant great. If not, just elaborating on what the real issue is. Take care
I love how you both answered the question about interracial marriage! I have heard the scripture about Moses, and his Ethiopian wife, being misinterpreted many times. Unequally yolked is meant for in your beliefs, not your skin tone. I enjoyed your Q & A, and I think you both are awesome parents and such a precious couple!❤ A great example for other couples! Thank you!! I love you and your sweet family!! May God richly bless you all!!❤❤😀
Cathy Crockett Yeah I agree I never understood why people mention Moses's wife being Ethiopian when they looked the same they were just from different tribes. People definitely misinterpret that. Yes unequally yoked definitely means a believer with a non believer
Moses only had one wife, who was from a Midianite tribe. The original Hebrew word, Cush, was an area of eastern Ethiopia inhabited by this tribe. Zipporah was of Semitic descent, where Moses’ marriage to her was not anything in the least interracial. That Moses’ wife was black is often used as a justification and rationalization for many to accept interracial marriages. Totally fallacious argument and rationale.
God doesn’t “hint” around about this or that. He makes it plain what he wants and expects! If he thought interracial was wrong , he would have SAID IT. Plain as day. It would be mentioned multiple times, as he does all sin.
Can I just say... I was raised Jewish. We are not super religious. I LOVE your family. I think that you are a wonderful representation of Christianity. You are doing it right. You speak about it so respectfully and in a way that makes everyone feel comfortable! I just wanted to let you know! Your family is awesome and I enjoy watching you so much!
I wish I could know you guys in person! I'm sitting here tearing up because I wish I had people like you in my life! I've been struggling so much on the mom front. We have 3 kids 8, 6 and 4 and it's really hard! My husband is also working 12 hour days so we dont see him much. I just love your biblical perspective on parenting! I have found it to be so difficult to spend intentional time in Gods word because I feel like there is not enough time in the day. Thank you for all your encouragement! Amen Solo!!! My husband and I still get interracial comments but not from believers.
i have a similar situation, my 3 daughters are 6, 3 and 1 and my husband is always working! and i just read with them or when we're going to sleep or even eating ill read a verse and we talk. get the Bible app! its a good way to always have access to the Word of God ❤ your not alone girl! i always feel alone and reading your comment helped me feel less alone so thank you! blessings!!
xo mandii me and my kids are white but their God mother is African American. They call her mom grandma! The looks we get from people at times is terrible! Mostly white people! I have always have my boys to treat all people the same!! And they do! I have told them them there are good and bad people no matter what color or race they are! I got a kick out of my youngest when he came home from head start! He told me (at 3 years old). My class ha s lot of different flavored of chocolate in it! Mom there are White, Milk and dark Chocolate! I thought that was a good way of describing them all! The teacher and her assistant liked it to! He was trying to be nice to them all! The assistant was s very nice older African American woman! She just hugged and kissed him! She told he was so smart and cute! That year there were a lot of mixed kids I. His class. But that never bothered sny of them but one mother’s dheson was very hyper with our his meds! He had to get them from school nurse so the teachers snd school knew he took them. If not he could hurt someone sn adult or child. That year he was the only child that was all African American.little kids say the darkest things! I was proud he did it with respect to all!
From head start. He told m”... Mommy there are all kinds of chocolate kids in my class! There are white chocolate, light chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate ones! I just loved that. I shared it with his god mother and the teacher and her assistant.( the teacher was white but her assistant was African American). They thought that was a great way to explain them all! The assistant teacher thought he was good at e planning it. I explained he has a Carmel colored God-mother.( his disruption of her skin). . The helper knew her and her family. She told Jacob he had a great God mon! He told her yes he does and got a grandma and papa there too! They love them all! We have never treated them differently and they never treat us differently. But they are family to us now and have been for years!! I love everyone! We all bleed the same!! And that I Sm proud to say my boys look at the person not skin color or physical looks!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us!! My oldest son’s name is Seth also!! Just love it!!
He says he makes everyone for someone. HE NEVER SAYS we have to stay within a particular race. I think you two are a beautiful couple with equally beautiful children. I love when Solo gets fired up and the pastor comes out in him. I could sit and watch him all day.
I wish the world, my church and my family was what they are today. 35-40 years ago I was in a very loving bi-racial relationship. But his and my family, church and society came between us. I never married because of this. It makes me extremely happy and joyful to see your marriage and beautiful family. God Bless.
Very insightful video! I’m sure this allows many viewers to get to know you better. I appreciate the message of tolerance, acceptance and diversity in this video. Stay safe, positive and blessed 🙌💯
I agree...children are a blessing from the Lord. I was only allowed to have two...medical issues that had me bedridden for 4 months in my first pregnancy after almost losing my daughter two times....she was a month premature. When I carried her brother I wasn’t bedridden but restricted from things. Mine are awesome...not perfect but both following the Lord. ❤️ Leah works for a missions organization and Andrew is a personal trainer studying for a physical therapy degree...he has also served in missions. I’m very proud of them.
Only blessed with 2 children.......some people never have any. You are very blessed with 2 children. That’s amazing. I have been so very blessed with one. I am beyond thank for one, rather than none, god bless.
Hi Sarah and Solo! Thank you for your perspectives on interracial marriage. My Aunt had gone through that about 25 years ago where the family was angry about her love with a black man. She never married or had children since she split from him. I think it made a huge impact on my family, as I married a black man and had nothing but support from that side of the family. It is hard, we left our Church, with a big part of it over racism. It's something you kind of just deal with as an interracial couple and remind your children daily they are blessings from God. Thank you for your outreach here online, and hope one day we will meet you. You all have been a blessing here to our home as well!
I love when you two do these types of videos. Solo makes the same gestures when asked about more children. It’s fear mixed with determination when responding a resounding “NO”🤣
My daughter-in-law is black, I love her she is a caring wonderful human being doesn’t matter what color,nationality, what ever as long as you are loved.
Once a nurse always a nurse as my grandmother put it. She kept on helping people even after she retired. She past away years ago at 103 years two months shy of her 104th. She was born in 1909. Plus she died 20 days before my birthday. So whenever you run into an emergency you can always help until the paramedics show and let them know what you did until them. After all, it could easily be a life and death situation. Plus you can teach your children what to do until help shows and save a life.
If you have a problem with interracial marriage, it's a sin and heart issues. It's also institutional ignorance. Solo, I'm so glad that you mentioned Moses and Keturah's marriage. God did judge Miriam and her husband for their sin. What God has put together, let no man including woman can separate. We, as people, are so quick to judge and criticize what we don't understand. God's ways a higher than our ways. It will take eternity to figure out God. My family is full of interracial marriages and relationships. We're not loving our neighbors as ourselves. Those who have the mindset that interracial marriages are not of God, are missing out on some of the best relationships and friendships you can ever have. I have 3 biracial grandchildren. I love their mothers. It's all about the love of the Jesus Christ. Happy Mother's day to all of you virtuous and beautiful Moms. Much love to everyone!!! ❤️🙏
I am so glad you all touched on that last topic! I have been told many many times that I will go to hell for marrying outside my race but then when I asked them to show me in the Bible where it says that they couldn’t!
Greating from Sweden. Hope u all doing fine? Welcome to Sweden. I am married to a man from Gambia. I have 2 kids, one boy who is 25 years and a girl who is 11 years. Love from Jenny
My dad was 1/2 black 1/2 white from the Bahamas and I was born there too but am a Canadian as my mom and dad came back here after I was born 45 yrs ago. Multiracial marriages and families are unique as we connect to both cultures. Lots of love Kanata Ontario Canada
Thank you Solo for your wise words at the end. Messages with a visual aid are so helpful when you are looking to calm your mind. I can now get in my dry boat
I told my husband i have self declared you and Solo my favorite UA-cam couple:) Thank for showing us both the rewarding and ugly side of every day life as parents. It is definitly not easy! The recipes are a bonus so please keep posting them to share with us on here.
Dear Solo and Sarah, your discussion about interracial marriage really touch my heart and makes me want to cry. I am an Asian and my husband is a White guy. We live in a southern state and had a hard time to find a pastor for our wedding because a lot of them refused to host a wedding for an interracial couple. Eventually my mother-in-law found a nice pastor who was really to retire but agreed to host our wedding as his one last time before his retirement. I really appreciate your words regarding this issue, and your explanation helps to ease my pain that I experienced during my wedding perpetration. Solo you were right about people abusing bible...thank you both for your talk. -Grace
I'm so sorry to hear that Grace. I'm from the North but have lived in the south and experienced similar attitudes towards my children. It was extremely hurtful for them and for me as a mother. God loves us all and we are all equal in His eyes ❤🙏
Our family is also in your shoes with interracial. We’ve had our challenges as living in different countries and different churches. Also thanks for the whining tip. I love the yes ma’am I’m happy to and learning through play like that. Love it.
My mom and dad are both white and so obviously my brother and I are too. However, my parents got divorced and both ended up with Mexican spouses, my boyfriend is Taiwanese and my brother’s girlfriend is Black. We have such a beautiful “interracial” family now. I can’t even tell you how much fun it is to learn the differences and similarities between cultures. We are so blessed in this way and I am sad for others who believe in this “unequally yoked” misinterpretation! I am also mad because I feel they are using scripture to justify racism.
I have been in a biracial marriage since 1975. We have 2 children. We have seen, heard and been through it all. Stay strong. You guys are wonderful! God bless!
I was getting ready to leave and run errands when the notification that you posted a video. (Stop, turn around, sit down, and I will leave when I finished watching) 😁
Great analogy about the boat on the sea - for all sorts of issues we come up against in life. I think the image of myself being in a little boat with rolling blue seas all around will come to mind now when I face this sort of situation.
my husband and I have been married 41 years and boy did we go through it back when we got married, but it is so much better now. solo is right, do not make it your problem.
We’re so so the same in so many ways Sarah! Much love and support from us! Baby #9 is due in a month and asking for prayers from friends for a safe birth!
I love these conversations 🙌 I only have ever dated black men & have 3 biracial children (19,17,13) my 2 oldest are Blk,wh, & Japanese.. My daughter is African & wh (grandfather is from Ghana) they've experienced racism from CHILDREN and it makes me sick and especially sad that children don't understand 😔 They learn from adults.. And that's the worst part
Love your family dynamics, great analogy Solo, for those whom are in an interracial marriage , couple, etc. we are all Gods children no matter what. Happy Mother’s Day to you, you definitely deserve it , stay safe in your environment & continue to be blessed !!!
History teacher here, our concept of race begins in the 1400’s with the Dutch Netherlands taking the first Africans from their homes and using them for slave labor BASED ON THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. All the history teachers I’ve discussed this with say that the idea of one race being superior is the single worst thing to happen in modern history. For African descendants, Jews, Romas, and dozens of other people.
This Q&A was amazing. Didn’t think I could love and respect you two any more than I did. Love your honestly and transparency. You two mesh well. You still smile at your hubby when you look up at him while he is talking. Love that. Your hubby seems SOLID! Lots of wisdom. You both do.
Solo, I enjoyed the water and boat story.That really touched me. Sarah, Happy Mother's Day, your amazing, absolutely love your videos and your such a kind soul. Thank you both.!!
My father isn't religious but my mother is a very devout Catholic (as am I) and growing up he was always respectful of her beliefs while she always respected his right to his own opinions. They've been together 25 years! Not saying it would work for the average couple but it IS possible 💘 I am a product of it 💘
Go on and preach Solo! The boat in the water can keep you safe. The problem is water getting in the boat. I had to play that for my husband. He's always looking for a good word from a good man! Thank you Sarah and Solo! Great Job! We are praying for you and your beautiful family! ♥🙏
Agree! Unless it’s medical forms bc that actually can affect certain medications. Or so I’ve heard but since I’m no where near that field not 100% certain. I’d love to be informed if I’m wrong bc I can find information supporting both sides of the conversation on the internet.
I already do that. So far I have never heard from anyone about it so maybe we should all not be so afraid to be different. Also when questions are so long and meaningless I just draw a line through it. No one says a thing and at the doctor's offices they see you anyway.
Solo: I love love love your teaching about how The Word has been abused for evil. I am sure your family and your congregants have been sent a true Man of God to lead them!
Margaret Guest - Yes there are midwives here, but not as common. There also Dulas which are similar to midwives. But most woman labor in the hospital with nurses in and out of the room. Then deliver with a Dr. I think Call the Midwife has gotten more popular since Downton Abbey aired. I love watching both of them. Was sad when Downton ended, and will feel the same when the Midwives end as well. Good tv- Stay safe!
Thank you Solo to say ‘ choose j0y” even with one child/ I have a very special needs child with complex needs. He is my only child. I adore him. I have very difficult times but ultimately it is my place in life to look after him. It is. It is my focus and role in life.you are a glorious family. Xxxxx
Ooh my! Those pictures of younger Belle vs Hope are amazing. It would be interesting to make a video about old pictures. Those are always fun to watch. Picture Young Solo vs the boys now. Amazing!
Thank you so much for addressing interracial marriage in the church. We feel so alone sometimes on this topic. I would love to hear how you guys deal with it in public too. My husband and I have been together for 9 years and we have visited a few churches over the years. It was shocking the amount of racist comments thrown our way by the leaders of their church too. On the info night to learn about their church, one leader approached me and went even far enough to ask "why I would be with someone like him?". I responded "a good Christian man?" They seemed shocked that he would be because they assumed he was an immigrant without a Christian faith. Once we found out she was one of the leaders, we politely got up & left. I pray for that church & the hearts of their leaders 🙏 We have full support of our family, so it really helps! 😊
I always say follow your heart ! ❤️ Love doesn’t hurt! Keep God first ! ☝️God is love and love is GOD! and then there’s no discrimination! That’s why he made differences so we could be able to embrace and learn from that!
I think SOLO is very honest with his whole beautiful personality ... His smile is 100 percent.. I enjoy watching real people and not fake ones.. Have a blessed day...
I loved the last question, as I LOVED your reply!, I’ve had this discussion with my pastor. I’ve left churches because of it. Much love to you and your family
You guys are amazing. Solo said it would be their problem ( don't let the water in the boat). That is so true in life. I needed that. Thank you. Love from Michigan. ❤
Thank you Solo for your clear stated position on interracial marriage. I agree. It should NEVER be an issue! You have a beautiful family! I am thankful that young You Tube families can hear the messages you speak.
Judah is like Solo, especially in the photo when he was 19. I can also see a lot of Eli in the younger photo of Solo. I can definitely see Sarah in Belle and Hope and a little in Noelle and Destiny
Y’all are so good together and complete each other!! I love it! Solo has me rolling!! His humor is hilarious! I love listening to you both and hearing your wisdom on the Bible.
Dear Sarah and Solo, my husband and I have been married 48 years. For most of our marriage we thought he was Hispanic, but due to a DNA test we have found that he is actually a Pueblo or Hopi native American (he was adopted by a Danish family as a toddler in the 50's with closed adoptions). I am English heritage, white as a fish belly. I actually had a "friend" ask me what my parents thought of my "mixed" marriage!! My parents (Mom passed away 2 years ago, Happy Mother's Day with Jesus by your side) ADORE my husband and thanks to my husband we have the most beautiful kids because they all look like him. We have always ignored any ridiculous statements or ignorant people. He is the most patient and kind person I have ever and will ever meet and I can not imagine my life without him. We love you both and your beautiful family! Happy Mother's Day Sarah!!
I stumbled across your channel about a year ago and I am so glad I did. I love watching you and your family’s day to day life. I have learned so many new things from the both of you. I’m a mama of 3 and some days it’s really hard. However, you’re absolutely right that kids are a blessing and completely worth all the sacrifices that we make as parents sometimes. God bless you and stay healthy ❤️
Your response about spending time with God and what that entails in different seasons really spoke to me! I feel so much closer to the Lord just realizing He is always with me in every season, He sees me, He knows me!
I'd love to have Solo as a Pastor. He makes so much sense.
Deb Lucero since quarantine, I have been watching his sermons every week, very gifted at spreading the Word.
@@kimdodd8055 Where can we see them?

I have found it to be so difficult to spend intentional time in Gods word because I feel like there is not enough time in the day. Thank you for all your encouragement! Amen Solo!!! My husband and I still get interracial comments but not from believers.
i have a similar situation, my 3 daughters are 6, 3 and 1 and my husband is always working! and i just read with them or when we're going to sleep or even eating ill read a verse and we talk. get the Bible app! its a good way to always have access to the Word of God ❤
your not alone girl! i always feel alone and reading your comment helped me feel less alone so thank you! blessings!!
♥️ great suggestions! Thanks!
xo mandii me and my kids are white but their God mother is African American. They call her mom grandma! The looks we get from people at times is terrible! Mostly white people! I have always have my boys to treat all people the same!! And they do! I have told them them there are good and bad people no matter what color or race they are! I got a kick out of my youngest when he came home from head start! He told me (at 3 years old). My class ha s lot of different flavored of chocolate in it! Mom there are White, Milk and dark Chocolate! I thought that was a good way of describing them all! The teacher and her assistant liked it to! He was trying to be nice to them all! The assistant was s very nice older African American woman! She just hugged and kissed him! She told he was so smart and cute! That year there were a lot of mixed kids I. His class. But that never bothered sny of them but one mother’s dheson was very hyper with our his meds! He had to get them from school nurse so the teachers snd school knew he took them. If not he could hurt someone sn adult or child. That year he was the only child that was all African American.little kids say the darkest things! I was proud he did it with respect to all!
Blessings to you!
From head start. He told m”... Mommy there are all kinds of chocolate kids in my class! There are white chocolate, light chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate ones! I just loved that. I shared it with his god mother and the teacher and her assistant.( the teacher was white but her assistant was African American). They thought that was a great way to explain them all! The assistant teacher thought he was good at e planning it. I explained he has a Carmel colored God-mother.( his disruption of her skin). . The helper knew her and her family. She told Jacob he had a great God mon! He told her yes he does and got a grandma and papa there too! They love them all! We have never treated them differently and they never treat us differently. But they are family to us now and have been for years!! I love everyone! We all bleed the same!! And that I Sm proud to say my boys look at the person not skin color or physical looks!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us!! My oldest son’s name is Seth also!! Just love it!!
I believe men see colors of skin God doesn't care. He made us all perfectly ❤️
I have always said that too. We all come from Adam and eve so there is only one race the human race. We just have different shades of melanin.
Absolutely right..Acts10:34,35 says God is not partial
Absolutely right..Acts10:34,35 says God is not partial
@@joybrooks564 I was going to mention that one.😊
He says he makes everyone for someone. HE NEVER SAYS we have to stay within a particular race.
I think you two are a beautiful couple with equally beautiful children.
I love when Solo gets fired up and the pastor comes out in him. I could sit and watch him all day.
I wish the world, my church and my family was what they are today. 35-40 years ago I was in a very loving bi-racial relationship. But his and my family, church and society came between us. I never married because of this. It makes me extremely happy and joyful to see your marriage and beautiful family. God Bless.
So sorry kim Owen
Kim Owen so sorry that happened!
Sorry that happened.
I lost the love of my life Kim , only 30 years ago in the U.S.A but it may as well have been 80. So cruel.
Very insightful video! I’m sure this allows many viewers to get to know you better. I appreciate the message of tolerance, acceptance and diversity in this video. Stay safe, positive and blessed 🙌💯
I agree...children are a blessing from the Lord. I was only allowed to have two...medical issues that had me bedridden for 4 months in my first pregnancy after almost losing my daughter two times....she was a month premature. When I carried her brother I wasn’t bedridden but restricted from things. Mine are awesome...not perfect but both following the Lord. ❤️ Leah works for a missions organization and Andrew is a personal trainer studying for a physical therapy degree...he has also served in missions. I’m very proud of them.
Only blessed with 2 children.......some people never have any. You are very blessed with 2 children. That’s amazing. I have been so very blessed with one. I am beyond thank for one, rather than none, god bless.
Your family is amazing, but the relationship between you and Solo is so entertaining to watch!!! Your channel gives me so much joy!
Hi Sarah and Solo! Thank you for your perspectives on interracial marriage. My Aunt had gone through that about 25 years ago where the family was angry about her love with a black man. She never married or had children since she split from him. I think it made a huge impact on my family, as I married a black man and had nothing but support from that side of the family.
It is hard, we left our Church, with a big part of it over racism. It's something you kind of just deal with as an interracial couple and remind your children daily they are blessings from God. Thank you for your outreach here online, and hope one day we will meet you. You all have been a blessing here to our home as well!
I love when you two do these types of videos. Solo makes the same gestures when asked about more children. It’s fear mixed with determination when responding a resounding “NO”🤣
My daughter-in-law is black, I love her she is a caring wonderful human being doesn’t matter what color,nationality, what ever as long as you are loved.
You are two of the loveliest people on UA-cam! I’m so happy to have found your channel, thank you for sharing with us! :)
Once a nurse always a nurse as my grandmother put it. She kept on helping people even after she retired. She past away years ago at 103 years two months shy of her 104th. She was born in 1909. Plus she died 20 days before my birthday. So whenever you run into an emergency you can always help until the paramedics show and let them know what you did until them. After all, it could easily be a life and death situation. Plus you can teach your children what to do until help shows and save a life.
You guys have so much respect for each other. You listen and don’t interrupt and it’s beautiful. Thanks for sharing this video.
If you have a problem with interracial marriage, it's a sin and heart issues. It's also institutional ignorance. Solo, I'm so glad that you mentioned Moses and Keturah's marriage. God did judge Miriam and her husband for their sin. What God has put together, let no man including woman can separate. We, as people, are so quick to judge and criticize what we don't understand. God's ways a higher than our ways. It will take eternity to figure out God.
My family is full of interracial marriages and relationships. We're not loving our neighbors as ourselves. Those who have the mindset that interracial marriages are not of God, are missing out on some of the best relationships and friendships you can ever have. I have 3 biracial grandchildren. I love their mothers.
It's all about the love of the Jesus Christ.
Happy Mother's day to all of you virtuous and beautiful Moms. Much love to everyone!!! ❤️🙏
I love when people ask the "are you having more babies" question. 😂😂Sarah's cheesy grin. Solo's scared eyes. 😂Classic.
Love you, two. I've been married 42 years to my Tongan husband.
Happy Mother’s Day Sara! Also happy Nurses Month!
I LOVE YOU GUYS! Your talk about race brought tears to my eyes and amens to my lips!! Keep shining bright for Christ and keep making videos❤️❤️❤️❤️
You’re a beautiful couple. I love listening to you teach❤️
I am so glad you all touched on that last topic! I have been told many many times that I will go to hell for marrying outside my race but then when I asked them to show me in the Bible where it says that they couldn’t!
Greating from Sweden. Hope u all doing fine? Welcome to Sweden. I am married to a man from Gambia. I have 2 kids, one boy who is 25 years and a girl who is 11 years. Love from Jenny
Sarah you have such a lovely personality. Your laugh and happiness helps my depression. God bless your family 💛 from South Africa.
Happy Mother's day, I love the way you guys share love for each other's.
My dad was 1/2 black 1/2 white from the Bahamas and I was born there too but am a Canadian as my mom and dad came back here after I was born 45 yrs ago. Multiracial marriages and families are unique as we connect to both cultures. Lots of love Kanata Ontario Canada
Happy mother's day Sarah love your family
Thank you Solo for your wise words at the end. Messages with a visual aid are so helpful when you are looking to calm your mind. I can now get in my dry boat
Joanne, the boat story really hit home with me. We don't have to let water in. It's their problem.
I needed that. So true. ❤
I told my husband i have self declared you and Solo my favorite UA-cam couple:) Thank for showing us both the rewarding and ugly side of every day life as parents. It is definitly not easy! The recipes are a bonus so please keep posting them to share with us on here.
Dear Solo and Sarah, your discussion about interracial marriage really touch my heart and makes me want to cry. I am an Asian and my husband is a White guy. We live in a southern state and had a hard time to find a pastor for our wedding because a lot of them refused to host a wedding for an interracial couple. Eventually my mother-in-law found a nice pastor who was really to retire but agreed to host our wedding as his one last time before his retirement. I really appreciate your words regarding this issue, and your explanation helps to ease my pain that I experienced during my wedding perpetration. Solo you were right about people abusing bible...thank you both for your talk. -Grace
I'm so sorry to hear that Grace. I'm from the North but have lived in the south and experienced similar attitudes towards my children. It was extremely hurtful for them and for me as a mother. God loves us all and we are all equal in His eyes ❤🙏
Our family is also in your shoes with interracial. We’ve had our challenges as living in different countries and different churches.
Also thanks for the whining tip.
I love the yes ma’am I’m happy to and learning through play like that. Love it.
My mom and dad are both white and so obviously my brother and I are too. However, my parents got divorced and both ended up with Mexican spouses, my boyfriend is Taiwanese and my brother’s girlfriend is Black. We have such a beautiful “interracial” family now. I can’t even tell you how much fun it is to learn the differences and similarities between cultures. We are so blessed in this way and I am sad for others who believe in this “unequally yoked” misinterpretation! I am also mad because I feel they are using scripture to justify racism.
Solo, you make so much sense. I like your thought process towards others. You guys rock! Also, I think Hope is the spitting image of Belle 💙💛❤️💜💚🧡🤎🤍
I have been in a biracial marriage since 1975. We have 2 children. We have seen, heard and been through it all. Stay strong. You guys are wonderful! God bless!
I was getting ready to leave and run errands when the notification that you posted a video. (Stop, turn around, sit down, and I will leave when I finished watching) 😁
❤️❤️❤️ you da best!
You both are really a breath of fresh air! I loved Solo’s analogy of the motorboat... and keeping water out, thank you!! ❤️
I love how you explain the interracial (non) issue. Biblical and straight to the point.
Great analogy about the boat on the sea - for all sorts of issues we come up against in life. I think the image of myself being in a little boat with rolling blue seas all around will come to mind now when I face this sort of situation.
my husband and I have been married 41 years and boy did we go through it back when we got married, but it is so much better now. solo is right, do not make it your problem.
I don’t usually watch UA-cam so early in the morning, but what a great way to start my day today!
Happy Mother’s Day Sarah 🌸
Rebecca Stanley thank you!
Call the Midwife is one of my FAV shows too. Love how they bring societal issues to the show's story and make it seem so relevant to today's time.
I really enjoyed this video. I have been a subscriber for a long time and enjoy being "included" in your family life.
We’re so so the same in so many ways Sarah! Much love and support from us! Baby #9 is due in a month and asking for prayers from friends for a safe birth!
Prayed for you! Congrats!!
Our Tribe of Many Thank you so much! Hoping for a homebirth!
I love these conversations 🙌 I only have ever dated black men & have 3 biracial children (19,17,13) my 2 oldest are Blk,wh, & Japanese.. My daughter is African & wh (grandfather is from Ghana) they've experienced racism from CHILDREN and it makes me sick and especially sad that children don't understand 😔 They learn from adults.. And that's the worst part
That was nice. You two fit so well together. Thanks for sharing. Happy mothers day!
Love you guys and LOVE LOVE LOVE the way you Love on each other! 💚💚💚💜 HAPPY EARLY MOTHER’S DAY SARAH!! ✨💕
ANDforever thanks! To you too!!
Love your family dynamics, great analogy Solo, for those whom are in an interracial marriage , couple, etc. we are all Gods children no matter what. Happy Mother’s Day to you, you definitely deserve it , stay safe in your environment & continue to be blessed !!!
History teacher here, our concept of race begins in the 1400’s with the Dutch Netherlands taking the first Africans from their homes and using them for slave labor BASED ON THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. All the history teachers I’ve discussed this with say that the idea of one race being superior is the single worst thing to happen in modern history. For African descendants, Jews, Romas, and dozens of other people.
This Q&A was amazing. Didn’t think I could love and respect you two any more than I did. Love your honestly and transparency. You two mesh well. You still smile at your hubby when you look up at him while he is talking. Love that. Your hubby seems SOLID! Lots of wisdom. You both do.
Solo, I enjoyed the water and boat story.That really touched me. Sarah, Happy Mother's Day, your amazing, absolutely love your videos and your such a kind soul. Thank you both.!!
When the beep was beeping I wonder how many people like me looked towards the kitchen trying to figure out what alarm went off! Hahaha
My father isn't religious but my mother is a very devout Catholic (as am I) and growing up he was always respectful of her beliefs while she always respected his right to his own opinions. They've been together 25 years! Not saying it would work for the average couple but it IS possible 💘 I am a product of it 💘
Solo and Sarah I love your family values. You are very inspirational to anyone that watches your channel.
My favorites are "call the midwife' and "when calls the heart".
Becca Lynn Belle looooves when calls the heart!
They are my favourite.
@@OurTribeofMany Me too. Both shows are some of my favs!
I love call the midwife. And people think I’m so weird to watch it especially when all of a sudden there is labor noises
Call The Midwife is my absolute favorite!
Go on and preach Solo! The boat in the water can keep you safe. The problem is water getting in the boat. I had to play that for my husband. He's always looking for a good word from a good man! Thank you Sarah and Solo! Great Job! We are praying for you and your beautiful family! ♥🙏
I am ready for the day when filling out papers and it asks race we should all put HUMAN. Love you guys. Happy Mother's Day.
Agree! Unless it’s medical forms bc that actually can affect certain medications. Or so I’ve heard but since I’m no where near that field not 100% certain. I’d love to be informed if I’m wrong bc I can find information supporting both sides of the conversation on the internet.
I already do that. So far I have never heard from anyone about it so maybe we should all not be so afraid to be different. Also when questions are so long and meaningless I just draw a line through it. No one says a thing and at the doctor's offices they see you anyway.
To erase our races would deny how creative God is. He didn’t accidentally make us different. It was a part of His intelligent design. 🙂
Wanda Newton having pride in your race doesnt mean hate for others
@@tigertoo219 First of All His design was to make us Human though....
I love you two. Thank you for sharing your faith and love with your viewers. God bless you both. With Love From BanDana Gramma
Solo: I love love love your teaching about how The Word has been abused for evil. I am sure your family and your congregants have been sent a true Man of God to lead them!
I love the way they keep looking at each other. You can tell...they love, adore and respect one another. Meant to be.
Call The Midwife is an amazing show . I can watch it over and over .
Mara jade ive watched through the series twice
I rewatch this series often. It is one of my very favorites.
Margaret Guest We watch the version from England
Margaret Guest - Yes there are midwives here, but not as common.
There also Dulas which are similar to midwives. But most woman labor in the hospital with nurses in and out of the room. Then deliver with a Dr.
I think Call the Midwife has gotten more popular since Downton Abbey aired. I love watching both of them. Was sad when Downton ended, and will feel the same when the Midwives end as well. Good tv- Stay safe!
Thank you Solo to say ‘ choose j0y” even with one child/ I have a very special needs child with complex needs. He is my only child. I adore him. I have very difficult times but ultimately it is my place in life to look after him. It is. It is my focus and role in life.you are a glorious family. Xxxxx
Ooh my! Those pictures of younger Belle vs Hope are amazing.
It would be interesting to make a video about old pictures. Those are always fun to watch.
Picture Young Solo vs the boys now. Amazing!
Tebogo Mosinyi they were all pics of belle! Haha...I should have put hope in there.
Thank you so much for addressing interracial marriage in the church.
We feel so alone sometimes on this topic. I would love to hear how you guys deal with it in public too.
My husband and I have been together for 9 years and we have visited a few churches over the years. It was shocking the amount of racist comments thrown our way by the leaders of their church too. On the info night to learn about their church, one leader approached me and went even far enough to ask "why I would be with someone like him?". I responded "a good Christian man?" They seemed shocked that he would be because they assumed he was an immigrant without a Christian faith. Once we found out she was one of the leaders, we politely got up & left. I pray for that church & the hearts of their leaders 🙏
We have full support of our family, so it really helps! 😊
Julie B wow wow wow. Sorry you even had to hear that at a church.
Thankfully this hasn't stopped us on our search or turned us away. We have finally found a church now! 😊
this makes me feel so sad because the body of Christ is literally worldwide so why would we EVER think we could limit God???
I always say follow your heart ! ❤️ Love doesn’t hurt! Keep God first ! ☝️God is love and love is GOD! and then there’s no discrimination! That’s why he made differences so we could be able to embrace and learn from that!
I think SOLO is very honest with his whole beautiful personality ... His smile is 100 percent.. I enjoy watching real people and not fake ones.. Have a blessed day...
Love Solo’s laugh. You two are amazing, keep the vids coming.
I loved the last question, as I LOVED your reply!, I’ve had this discussion with my pastor. I’ve left churches because of it. Much love to you and your family
Love u both!! Learning alot..children are a blessing..Sara,Happy mother’s day 🇺🇸 🇰🇪
I think you guys are amazing. Such a beautiful couple inside and out . Your children are very lucky to have 2 very loving and strong parents ❤️
Great vlog...excellent advice...Happy mother's day Sarah! 💐💐💐
You guys are amazing. Solo said it would be their problem ( don't let the water in the boat). That is so true in life. I needed that.
Thank you.
Love from Michigan. ❤
I laughed so hard when solo said "what god intended me to look like" I love you guys!
Thank you Solo for your clear stated position on interracial marriage. I agree. It should NEVER be an issue! You have a beautiful family! I am thankful that young You Tube families can hear the messages you speak.
Judah is like Solo, especially in the photo when he was 19. I can also see a lot of Eli in the younger photo of Solo. I can definitely see Sarah in Belle and Hope and a little in Noelle and Destiny
I see a lot of Micah in Sarah.
Y’all are so good together and complete each other!! I love it! Solo has me rolling!! His humor is hilarious! I love listening to you both and hearing your wisdom on the Bible.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY SARAH,SARAH'S MOM&GRANDMA.HAPPYMOTHER'S DAY SOLO MOM& GRANDMA.STAY SAFE & BLESSED
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲😍😙😗💖💞💝❤
Dear Sarah and Solo, my husband and I have been married 48 years. For most of our marriage we thought he was Hispanic, but due to a DNA test we have found that he is actually a Pueblo or Hopi native American (he was adopted by a Danish family as a toddler in the 50's with closed adoptions). I am English heritage, white as a fish belly. I actually had a "friend" ask me what my parents thought of my "mixed" marriage!! My parents (Mom passed away 2 years ago, Happy Mother's Day with Jesus by your side) ADORE my husband and thanks to my husband we have the most beautiful kids because they all look like him. We have always ignored any ridiculous statements or ignorant people. He is the most patient and kind person I have ever and will ever meet and I can not imagine my life without him. We love you both and your beautiful family! Happy Mother's Day Sarah!!
"We're beat up"😂. Solo is so funny and right!
I stumbled across your channel about a year ago and I am so glad I did. I love watching you and your family’s day to day life. I have learned so many new things from the both of you. I’m a mama of 3 and some days it’s really hard. However, you’re absolutely right that kids are a blessing and completely worth all the sacrifices that we make as parents sometimes. God bless you and stay healthy ❤️
I found myself laughing along with Solo, he has a great laugh 😆, take care tribe 😷
Your response about spending time with God and what that entails in different seasons really spoke to me! I feel so much closer to the Lord just realizing He is always with me in every season, He sees me, He knows me!
