Our culture encourages us to be “strong” always, and to never display anything that could be discerned as weakness, but as I scroll through all these comments this morning, I see such a beautiful response to your moment of vulnerability. So many people are praying specifically for YOU and YOURS who would have not known to do so otherwise. So many others are drawing encouragement from the fact that they are not alone, and experiencing relief by having a place to share their burdens. Community is a necessary and beautiful thing, and it is something we have all been robbed of during this strange and frightening year. Your channel is a bright spot in a dark world, where we (who do not know each other) can gather and learn, share, love, and grow. Thank you for keeping the tone of your channel real and wholesome, God and family centered, and full of the moments that nurture the ones we love. (That’s really what the food is all about!) We all need each other, regardless of how great or awful things may be going at the time, and here we have a place to gather. ☺️ Merry Christmas to you, Stephen, and Cole! God is ALWAYS on the throne! I am praying for you! 🙏🏻❤️🎄
Beth, you just made me cry. In a good way of course! Thank YOU for being here and being a part of this community. You are right, there is so much hurt going on right now and we all need each other. I so appreciate you. Merry Christmas to you - thank you for being a beautiful soul!!!!
I’m Karen and I hope you’re finding your way through the trials of life . You are a joy and I feel Christ shine through you so I know He’s holding you close . Merry Christmas and thank you for your channel . You are NEVER a bore !
You bring so much joy to others. You are in my daily prayers. Thanks for being genuine. Let's all love one another. God is still good and so worthy to be praised! Let's bs intentional. Thanks for being you and bringing joy to us all. ❤
Thank you Mandy. I lost my dad on December 10th. He was 51 years young. It's been hard to transition to "normal" life after but it's soothing to me to keep busy and do regular things. I am sending good vibes to your family during this time.
May the joy of the Lord be your strength. Saying a prayer for you and your family today. It’s been a year for sure. Thank you for being light, even in the midst of dark times.
Bless your heart. Yes, lots going on with people today at this particular time of year. Keeping joy is hard, but we can do it. Keep looking up because HE is always looking down. Prayers and blessing s for your family.
I don’t usually comment but I had to-thank you for letting us see you in your moment. Prayers for your family and you, God hears and His will will be done
I'm sending Lots of Hugs and Prayers for all of you at this very difficult time!! I hope for the Best for your loved ones and wish for Strength and Peace!! Love you guys!!❤️❤️🙏🙏
When my son died, I didn’t ever think I would have joy in my life again. But I did, it was hard work. It was tough. Loss is the hard part of life. Cling to the little moments. Sending hugs and love and prayers from our family to yours.
You know you can never bore me, you and your family are still in my prayers. My family has been hit by this sickness that is going around. The last couple of months has been hard. The Lord will carry us through the hard times, will keep up the prayers. Sending all my love. Linda 💕💕🙏🙏🎄🥰
Mandy, I’m sorry you’re going through a difficult time. So many people have been having terrible times. I’m am so grateful that I have God too. Many prayers for you all.
I will pray for your family. 2018 was a bad year for us. 2020 has actually been a year of healing for us. My husband lost both parents and a sister in law in 2018. But, God is good, and He is with us every step of the way. Just hold on to that!!! I love your channel! You brighten so many people's days!!!
Mandy- what a wonderful testimony about Jesus in your life, may the Lord bless you Mandy as you strive to be content and find peace even in tough circumstances. thank you for reminding us all to seek joy and count our blessings.
Whatever you’re going through we are always going to support and keep you in our thoughts and prayers. It feels as though we are all one family and need to support each other!
I'm watching this while fighting back tears..yes ma'am this year has brought lots of ups and downs and each day shows us how strong we actually are. Merry Christmas to your wonderful family!
Brilliant. Well grounded and full of grace. You bring this 72 year old grandmother much joy. Oh to be that young again. I had a very handsome hubby for 33 years. He passed and broke all our hearts. But you help me find my joy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Hugs to your handsome boys. I watch every night. Great job. Sandee
Sandee, you just brought the biggest smile to my face! Thank you so much for your kindness. I'm so sorry you lost the love of your life. Praying that you continue to find joy in the little things!
I would love to get a Christmas card just one! As I will be alone and lonely on this day! Wish I had family that cared! Thank goodness for my UA-cam family is what I look faward to keeps me going! Amen & God Bless Everyone! 😊😏🙂
I have been making a daily gratitude list to try and realize that no matter what I’m going through, there’s always someone who has it worse. It’s really been helping with my stress & anxiety. Prayers and positive vibes sent your way 🙏✌🏼🌈
God is in charge and His plan is perfect! It's hard to remember to step back and remember that when we are overwhelmed. Some of the things we are going through right now have nothing to do with this crazy year, just adding to the chaos. Prayers lifted to you and your family during this season you are in. ❤
I’m so sorry there’s a family member in the hospital, and another family member called with health problems. And your so right hug tight your loved ones. I love watching your Channel, it was lovely sending the day with you. Take care my dear and prayers for you and your family. God bless and Gods healing!! 🙏🏻❤️

Your moment is so warming. Life can be hard. And challenging. This year has definitely reminded us of that. Praying for comfort for you and anyone else on here who needs it. 🙏🙏
My family always says at dinner time who we want to pray for. Today you are my dinner prayer. God is great and is always with his children. I'm sorry you are having a hard time.
I hope everything turns out well for you and your family. I was tearing up when you were talking. We have some issues going on to and I need to remember it's temporary and things will get better ❤️
Bless your heart. Praying for you. Yes, all over 2020 but it has been a year of huge spiritual growth. I am grateful for your channel and your show of faith. God is so good. 🙌
I too am having a hard time finding joy. Grieving the loss of a family members, helping my family member raise her young kids, teaching full time in person in a pandemic while going through infertility treatments myself. Life is scary. Life is hard. It’s so so hard.
I send you all the love and prayers to you and your family during this difficult time! Thanks for reminding me to enjoy the little things on the daily. Every once in a while we forget that! ❤️

I pray for you and your family. My family is going through sickness as well. Found out 2 weeks ago one of my 3 sisters has stage 4 cancer. My sisters are my best friends. And because of covid and this world we can’t see her so that she can be as strong as possible for chemo. God Bless us all. ❤️🙏❤️
Thank you for being true and honest, Mandy! I try to imagine how difficult it is to really “put yourself out there” but you handled it very gracefully. Praying for you and all your family members. Merry Christmas!
I am keeping your family in my prayers! There is a season for everything and fortunately God always gives us hope. Lean on HIM ❤️ Thank you for sharing your joy and the reminder that even in 2020 we can find little joys throughout the day.
Hugs from VA 🤗 whatever you're going through, I wish you and your family peace. I work at a hospital and see patients and their loved ones go through horrible things, and they can't even be together. It's heartbreaking. Just do the best you can and cherish each moment. Love you!

@@bobbyjones7354 I’m so sorry to hear about your Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I lost mine in 2018 as well. The holidays are always so hard. 💔 But I know I will see her again in Heaven. ❤️
Holidays caught up with me so I am just now watching this video. Praying that your family members a swift recovery. And I want to Thank You...for showing us through your actions that everyday is a gift and every moment of joy should be treasured. Your family remains in my prayers 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m watching this the end of May 2024. I am wishing it were Christmas so I could send you a card. I do like your cooking videos. Covid gave us a lot of “bad days”. You got through it you are amazing.
Mandy, God's grace and mercies are new everyday. Since I lost the love of my life to being misdiagnosed .. At a still young age. So we as God's children need to pray for eachother...God is good even when we dont understand God's plan💓💓💞🙏🙏🙏prayers for you and your family. To top off 2020 the jewelry store has lost my wedding rings will you please pray they are found.
I don't know if you have ever heard of Saint Anthony 🙏 please ask him to find your rings for you. I swear,he has found so many things for me, he's amazing. I really hope you find them.🙏👍
Hugs to you. Going through some stuff myself but it could always be so much worse. No matter how alone you may feel in your grief or sadness, you're never truly alone. ❤❤ thanks for sharing and I hope things look up for you, and prayers for your family.
Oh Mandy ,Thanks for reminding us that there is always joy in our lives ! I thought you had a great video and a very busy day! Sometimes it's knowing that others care and it really helps with what is going on. Prayers to all of you. Thanks Mandy!
I'm a person who suffers from severe depression and over the last 30 yrs I've had to fight every day but the last 15yrs I've lost my way, my depression has taken my life and family from me and UA-cam is my company. I only wish you knew Mandy how much your kind and loving voice has helped and inspired me. God bless you and your family and I hope whatever is happening in your life at this time that God and the love of friends and family will pull you through. ❤
I wanna say, I've watched your channel for a long and I'm a silent viewer. But my heart tugged for you. Bless you and family. I hope you're able to find "Joy" always. I understand the need to be busy when life is rough. You are a joy for so many!
I really loved this vlog style video! well I love all your videos 😉 and I loved you scaring Mackenzie in TJmaxx too 😂😂 and my little shoutout earlier with the cup haha I just loved EVERYTHING hahaha
Mandy I used to make chocolate drop cookies for my father in law he loved them so when I seen you making them I thought of him special memories we hold in our hearts God bless
I am praying for you all, especially your unwell loved one. Despite the circumstances, this was a lovely video. I enjoyed the chatty style & longer format.
My fave 'no-bake' cookies since I was 6 yrs old (50+ yrs ago). They are, 2 me, the best feel good cookie. I pray Jehovah blesses and comforts you during the trials you are experiencing. btw your channel brings me joy.
I’m thinking of you and your family during this hard time. You are so great to your family and it’s good to get your mind off of things for awhile. And Steven visiting in a hospital is so nice! ❤️
I’m so thankful for your videos. I needed your moment of being real. I just lost 3 of my close family members within a 6 month span. Lost my grandmother last week and your videos have been giving me a good distraction. Cooking new things and making sure my family has something new. I’m thankful I found your page. I pray whatever you’re going through that God helps you through it.
Sending prayers for the family member in the hospital & all of the loved ones affected! Thank you for sharing your day with us Mandy, it's always great to see you & your family!
Sue here: Yes, Mandy! I make the no bake cookies exactly like you do and they are DELICIOUS. I too eat the little pieces ... and clean the pan too. (Spoon to mouth.) Love your videos and your personality. Love the quiet ... no loud music taking over the content. 💚
Yes all the joy we find in our everyday lives is all we can do at anytime! Love you and all of us who love every time we get to share with others are on the same page..
Such a great treat when you share day in a life vlogs with us ❤ thank you!! I'm praying for your family members. Hope you have an amazing day! Cheers to almost 80k! Can't wait to celebrate 100k!!
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve made. I’m so thankful I found your channel. This year has been rough for my family too. Tell your husband to hold those visiting hours, close to his heart. My Grandmother was in the hospital, and we never got to visit her. Unfortunately, she passed away a few weeks ago in the hospital. I am so thankful for the peace that only The Lord can give. I am praying for your family. I love your day in the life videos. ❤️
I have enjoyed becoming part of your UA-cam “family” . I hope life keeps you encouraged. Your smile is contagious thanks for sharing with us today . It’s a great day in “South Carolina” lol. Just a little down home humor. May the Lord bless and keep you!
I just returned from my Uncle’s funeral - and I am so grateful for the promise of heaven. Praying for you and your family. May you have a Blessed Christmas 🎄

Hi Mandy, Please know that you are not alone in your pain and suffering. Thank you for your candor. You are so right. We must enjoy every moment that we can. Good luck with the family crises. Cheryl
Hugs and thoughts going to your family this time has been such a bad time. I tell my kids you have to look for the positive my oldest I have to tell him put a smile on your face when you see someone that seems down you never know your smile could make them smile and make their day better if not some what better

@@bobbyjones7354 I’m so sorry to hear about your Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I lost mine in 2018 as well. The holidays are always so hard. 💔 But I know I will see her again in Heaven. ❤️
Holidays caught up with me so I am just now watching this video. Praying that your family members a swift recovery. And I want to Thank You...for showing us through your actions that everyday is a gift and every moment of joy should be treasured. Your family remains in my prayers 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Your tree is so pretty!!
Thank you!!
I’m watching this the end of May 2024. I am wishing it were Christmas so I could send you a card. I do like your cooking videos. Covid gave us a lot of “bad days”. You got through it you are amazing.
Mandy, God's grace and mercies are new everyday. Since I lost the love of my life to being misdiagnosed .. At a still young age. So we as God's children need to pray for eachother...God is good even when we dont understand God's plan💓💓💞🙏🙏🙏prayers for you and your family. To top off 2020 the jewelry store has lost my wedding rings will you please pray they are found.
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear they lost them! I will pray they are found! Thank you Candice. You are so precious!!
I don't know if you have ever heard of Saint Anthony 🙏 please ask him to find your rings for you. I swear,he has found so many things for me, he's amazing. I really hope you find them.🙏👍
Hugs to you. Going through some stuff myself but it could always be so much worse. No matter how alone you may feel in your grief or sadness, you're never truly alone. ❤❤ thanks for sharing and I hope things look up for you, and prayers for your family.
Oh Mandy ,Thanks for reminding us that there is always joy in our lives ! I thought you had a great video and a very busy day! Sometimes it's knowing that others care and it really helps with what is going on. Prayers to all of you. Thanks Mandy!
I'm a person who suffers from severe depression and over the last 30 yrs I've had to fight every day but the last 15yrs I've lost my way, my depression has taken my life and family from me and UA-cam is my company. I only wish you knew Mandy how much your kind and loving voice has helped and inspired me. God bless you and your family and I hope whatever is happening in your life at this time that God and the love of friends and family will pull you through. ❤
I wanna say, I've watched your channel for a long and I'm a silent viewer. But my heart tugged for you. Bless you and family.
I hope you're able to find "Joy" always. I understand the need to be busy when life is rough.
You are a joy for so many!
I appreciate that, Jessica! Still working to find joy today - life is still rough, but there's good in everyday.
I love that you show real life, honey! Gotta cook that soup for my husband! God bless you and keep you!
I really loved this vlog style video! well I love all your videos 😉 and I loved you scaring Mackenzie in TJmaxx too 😂😂 and my little shoutout earlier with the cup haha I just loved EVERYTHING hahaha
Mandy I used to make chocolate drop cookies for my father in law he loved them so when I seen you making them I thought of him special memories we hold in our hearts God bless
Thinking of you all during this time. Thanks for the video, and may healing, strength and comfort be with y'all ❤🙏
I am praying for you all, especially your unwell loved one. Despite the circumstances, this was a lovely video. I enjoyed the chatty style & longer format.
Blessing to you girl. I love when you talk to us. Helps us all get closer
I so needed your talk as every day something unhappy happens....when it rains it pours...tysvm Rosanne
My fave 'no-bake' cookies since I was 6 yrs old (50+ yrs ago). They are, 2 me, the best feel good cookie.
I pray Jehovah blesses and comforts you during the trials you are experiencing.
btw your channel brings me joy.
I’m thinking of you and your family during this hard time. You are so great to your family and it’s good to get your mind off of things for awhile. And Steven visiting in a hospital is so nice! ❤️
I’m so thankful for your videos. I needed your moment of being real. I just lost 3 of my close family members within a 6 month span. Lost my grandmother last week and your videos have been giving me a good distraction. Cooking new things and making sure my family has something new. I’m thankful I found your page. I pray whatever you’re going through that God helps you through it.
Praying for you Jasmine. I'm so sorry for you losses. ❤️
Sending prayers for the family member in the hospital & all of the loved ones affected! Thank you for sharing your day with us Mandy, it's always great to see you & your family!
Sue here: Yes, Mandy! I make the no bake cookies exactly like you do and they are DELICIOUS. I too eat the little pieces ... and clean the pan too. (Spoon to mouth.) Love your videos and your personality. Love the quiet ... no loud music taking over the content. 💚
Yes all the joy we find in our everyday lives is all we can do at anytime! Love you and all of us who love every time we get to share with others are on the same page..
Such a great treat when you share day in a life vlogs with us ❤ thank you!! I'm praying for your family members. Hope you have an amazing day! Cheers to almost 80k! Can't wait to celebrate 100k!!
That’s how I felt last night ty for listening to me baking is my joy and family
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve made. I’m so thankful I found your channel. This year has been rough for my family too. Tell your husband to hold those visiting hours, close to his heart. My Grandmother was in the hospital, and we never got to visit her. Unfortunately, she passed away a few weeks ago in the hospital. I am so thankful for the peace that only The Lord can give. I am praying for your family. I love your day in the life videos. ❤️
I am so sorry you lost her and couldn't visit. How extremely painful. I'm praying for you, Hannah!
@@MandyintheMaking Thank you so,so much!
I have enjoyed becoming part of your UA-cam “family” . I hope life keeps you encouraged. Your smile is contagious thanks for sharing with us today . It’s a great day in “South Carolina” lol. Just a little down home humor. May the Lord bless and keep you!
Thank you! You too!
The thumbnail is lovely seeing your smile despite what you all are going through🙏🏽❤️
I just returned from my Uncle’s funeral - and I am so grateful for the promise of heaven. Praying for you and your family. May you have a Blessed Christmas 🎄
I'm so sorry! Prayers for y'all.
You show us great ideas & recipes. Now your Love comes showing through to us for your family and others. BIG HUGS & BLESSINGS FOR YOUR FAMILY MEMBER, we are all going through these Crazy times together ❤ 🙏
I’ve been baking like crazy the last 2 months and sharing with family and friends that brings me joy 😍💖
Your having some pain. We all are here for you. This means a very big HUG for you and your family. Soup looks amazing. 🧀🧅🥩🥣🍵🎄🥓🙏🏻❤️
I'm a newbie, but very glad I've found your channel. May God's grace find you and your family during this difficult time. Prayers and virtual hugs.
Hi Mandy, Please know that you are not alone in your pain and suffering. Thank you for your candor. You are so right. We must enjoy every moment that we can. Good luck with the family crises. Cheryl
