    Chad, I know that you hear this a lot, and should hear it a lot more:
    You are an excellent father, and a blessing to your children.

    My husband and I have a UA-cam channel and have been so blessed by the comments of lovely people who subscribe. It dawned on me that I have never expressed my gratitude to you for your beautiful videos! I have loved watching the adventures of your sweet family for some time now. We share your values and commitment to Jesus Christ. You rafiate His light. God bless you and your beautiful family, and again., Thank you.

    Such a beautiful family! When we brought our fourth and last baby home his 11 month old sister bit him on the head🤦‍♀️. They’re all in their thirties and being grandparents is such a joy😊

    Erin can you do a feeding / taking care of routine for your animals? How do you do it every single day? I have three kids and struggle so much with just our dog and chickens ! You are an inspiration 💗🥰

    I just love your family ❤. Such a godly example of love for families, couples, siblings and friends to learn from. Every time I see Carson interact with one of his siblings my heart is just filled with joy because he is such kind, gentle and loving brother. He is modelling the example displayed by his amazing Dad on how to be a man after God’s own heart.

    Erin you have a inner beauty that shines out and gives your outer beauty a glow. Chad is such an amazing Dad. The way he takes time to make each child feel special and loved. ❤

  • @genv8428
    @genv8428 Рік тому +5

    Awe, I remember each one of those video clips. The best by far is still Carson finding out his prayers were answered for his baby brother. They'll always have a special bond because of that. ❤ Love your family so much, you're such an inspiration.

    Such a beautiful, loving little family. It's a blessing to see the love of God in this family and that you all have love for each other. I love seeing that Chad and Erin have a deep love for one another. They sparkle with love in their hearts toward one another. And it shines brightly for others to see. That's very rare in marriages today. I love watching you both working hard together as a husband and wife. A family that prays together stays together. And that baby girl looks like her mother Erin. It's a blessing to see a father and mother raising their children up in the ways of the Lord. Thank you for being that shining light for all of us to see in this world that we are living in today. May God richly bless you and your family always.

    Your little growing family just blesses my heart! It's so refreshing to see the joy on the children's faces when they are helping with chores & especially Carson's reaction to when y'all did the scavenger hunt to find out y'all were pregnant. His reaction was precious & perfect! Not to mention when William came home to meet them! Thank you for a year of sharing your family. May the Lord continue to bless your family with many unexpected surprises.

    11:15. I grew up in the 1980s. My mom used to get home from work at 4PM each day & me, my sister, & I would eat dinner together everyday at 5PM. We would actually have dinner watching Little House on a Prairie (that was on re-runs every day at 5PM). We would talk about our days at school, my mom's day at work, & discuss the episode of Little House on the Prairie that was airing (because there was a Christian lesson in every episode). Watching TV while eating seems a little counter intuitive, but it worked for my family and it set a schedule that dinner had to happen every day at 5PM.

    Tears. This so reminds me of my little family when my 5 were babies. My youngest is now 10 and I can’t believe those days of having babies is over. Teens are now in their place and my heart aches for those littles once again. A smile always comes when I think of the grandchildren I will have one day and whom I already love ❤️

    I love how natural your family is with your on-line presence. Your children come off as very happy and loved. They have not been made to perform for the camera. You seem content with what you have in life and aren’t hawking a bunch products or purchasing expensive Teslas, furniture, or the latest hot gadgets. You make tasty, nourishing meals and involve your children in meal prep instead of constantly eating take-out food and expensive coffees/beverages. Keep up the good work. I am a Christian, but my belief system is not as conservative as yours, but I would have loved growing up in a family like yours.

You don't have to, the way you live your life and lead by example speaks to all who come into your lives. May the light of the Star of Bethlehem guide you and light the path in front of you as you go forth.
