    Janice, I am 57 year old, disabled woman whose family isn't close by. Your family brings joy and happiness to me. Your family is being raised the way I was. I am the oldest of 6 and couldn't wait to get away from the farm. Now I watch your children appreciate what I didn't and it brings me so much joy!

      I’m a few weeks late to this video but I just found you and have been binging on your precious family. This video struck such a strong note with me. I am a just a few weeks away from my 75th and partially handicapped, we moved to a newly remodeled (by my retired hubs) country cottage. It’s has been a tough change for me and just about the time I thought I had made it I took a very bad fall and nearly lost a leg. Seems like when I could be the “always able to help or be there gal” I became lonelier and lonelier. That’s when I discovered my UA-cam families. Enuf said and now I am fully invested in that lonely little duck’s future. Thanks for sharing your precious family and food services (as we, meaning hubs and I, can always be more thrifty). From here in the heart of a very hot Texas - God bless ya’ll ❣️

    Your caring means so much to this almost 70 year old woman, wheelchair bound and unable to drive or go out alone. I am blessed with my husband , children and grandchildren. But loneliness can still be a thing. Please know……Janice, you and your family are very wanted and needed. I am sorry you were hurt by someone who likely is hurting, too. I value you all and, yes, we are not local to each other, but your family brightens up my days Thank you.

      Same here. Unable to get out anymore except to the Dr. Have no children or family near. I can’t wait to see the videos of the farm and animals, grocery shopping, and the sweetest kids on earth. I know there’s no potential to know them personally, but that’s ok. There are @ few other channels that make me feel good too. This is a welcoming community and of great value.

      Hi, I know it is difficult to see or hear of such a great loss... It impacts due to the violent nature of the type of crime. Our lives are in God s hands, that has always helped me through dark times. I like to watch their family, very kind people. When I watch it makes me happy! May, I ask is it that they inspire you? If you are in pain physical or emotionally there are no cost or low-cost outreach programs. Also, most churches offer counseling. If you feel for whatever reason these organizations won't help, remember there is no - limit as to how long we can pray! I hope this helps!? God - Bless You!

    Janice, I watched your video and then went to my Bible reading which was in Samuel 1:29 where David was rejected. The commentator that explains the reading said that rejection may be a gift from God. I hope you can see it in that way so it won’t hurt you and the family. I’m 71 yo and there’s just myself and hubby. I get lonely but your beautiful family and farm cheer me. I have a couple other UA-cam videos as well. I’m homebound so I can’t go meet people. I’ve recently become more hungry to learn all I can about the Bible. This has been very helpful.

    Janice, you're such a kind soul, it's awful to be lonely, I've been there after losing my husband of 34 years, he was killed by a drunk driver, talk about being lonely! I was lucky to have family and friends to talk too, or spend time with back then, but, it still wasn't enough to get rid of the pain I was in, I let the good Lord lead the way and was able to get through it because without the Lord, I don't know where I'd be today. I wish I was closer to these people who need a friend to talk too, it breaks my heart! Stay blessed Janice, you really are a wonderful person, you and your family

My husband and I have been together for half the time and I can imagine what life would be like without him. Currently I’ve been staying with my daughter and son inlaw for the past month helping them with a new baby and their two year old toddler and while it’s a lot of work and is keeping us apart we recognize it’s just for a season but I miss him terribly. God bless you and may you feel his arms wrapped around you during this time. Sending virtual hugs. 🥰❤️🙏🏻🍁🇨🇦

    Really special for people to hear that they are loved and you’re praying for them. It is never easy being left out and feeling alone. I have just relied on God to fill that void. He loves me in every condition that I’m in or face. Once you realize that love it does help a lot. Sometimes you don’t know why people aren’t drawn to you but I always feel that people are missing out by not giving someone the time of day, or smiling or giving them a gesture of kindness. You never know what gem of a person you are missing out on. This was a sad topic but I’m glad you had the courage to speak about it! It will help a lot!

      Hugs.. I am so sorry I understand I lost my husband a year ago this month after a long battle with cancer. I imagine you are not only missing him but feeling overwhelmed with all that must be done.. all I can say is breathe deep, pray a lot to God and at least for me still I thank him every single day for blessing me with such a wonderful husband and the time we had together 36 years. I try to remember all the good things about my husband and how much he loved me it's sad yes but if you are a Christian you will be together again. I talk to him often as I go around my house ( I have his urn here at home till the time comes we will be buried together). Sorry this is so long but it touched my heart. When he was so sick and I told him " I don't know how I'll go on alone" he told me you will never be alone I am always with you" and he is.. when I am having to make a decision or doing something difficult I say "David what would you do"? I know it sounds weird to some but I am able to think more calmly and figure it out. I wish I could give you a human hug but know you are in my thoughts and I will stop and pray for God's comfort for you once I finish this post. God bless you. Anna In Ohio

Those prayers are working ~ but it just takes time. When you feel a little better ~ and you will. Get out and meet people. Volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital. Volunteer at your church. Just do something. Get out once a week for an hour or two.

I am blessed to have neighbors and friends and my dogs but even then, at the end of the day it's hard. I did pray for you when you first posted. One thing I find that helps me still through the loneliness of being one is to thank God in my prayers every night that he gave me time to be with my husband and that he gave me such a good husband. I try to remember all the good times we had together and cherish those memories and take comfort in knowing as a Christian that we will be together again. Try getting out of the house if nothing else to just go for a walk or if you have a porch to sit outside for a little bit each day.

    The best way to take our feelings of sadness or loneliness is to help others, there are many who feel the same or worse than we sometimes do, when we go to help them it takes our minds off ourselves and we start to truly feel better and realize our problems are not as bad as what others may have or feel..

You are so caring. You ALL are on my mind daily as I simply pray you all are happy, healthy, and feel no sadness. I don’t know WHO would not want your family near them but they are NOT correct in their mindset as how can anyone find a way to dislike someone who strives tirelessly to do good with every action they take? Who could find a way to dislike TRULY some of the most WELL behaved and most respectful and intelligent children out there?!? If I didn’t know you and came upon you in a store with your children, even then I could see how great they are! So that is unbelievable! And it says more about that person than you guys. You live by God and seek no harm and are always trying so hard to do right. That is more than the majority of people on earth care to do, sadly. I pray they/he/she rethink their actions and come to terms with how much they are mistaken to say such a think. It is okay to not like everyone, but to say what was said is totally disrespectful and I pray a sincere apology is given to you. Thank you for trying to help, if nothing else it shows you care ❤

    Hey Janice,that just broke my heart, especially for you to say that,some people can be cruel, and don't have a heart. Don't let that make you feel you're not wanted,you all are,in your followers hearts. Again block the bad comments in them,god has you here for a reason on this channel, stay strong and keep your head up!

    I'm so sorry you were hurt. I can't believe anyone would tell you, or anyone else, that they were not welcome. They are not nice people and you're probably better off with not having them in your lives. And to everyone who is lonely, or sad, or hurting. I can only send virtual hugs and love but I'm sending them with my whole heart. I hope you find a brighter path, and happy days x

    Janice , this video shows your true heart filled with love. It is hard to be lonely and I pray for those who are. Your videos are refreshing showing family , community , humanity and kindness. They make me feel lighter each night before I have to go to work the next day witnessing child abuse and Domestic Violence. You are a calming presence, and if someone says you are not wanted here ,they are the ones who are losing out. Keep doing what your doing because you make a difference. Thanks

    You are so caring and kind. Loneliness is a real problem in our country. We moved only an hour away, but I still needed new friends that were close by. I met wonderful people through the local YMCA and also by volunteering for Boomerang Backpacks. I am so sad to hear about your family situation. Should never happen.

    Janice, you are one of the kindest people I have ever encountered. I, like you am a person who is able to talk to people, but I was not always like that. One day I decided if I wanted friends and acquaintances I needed to do more to make it happen. I will pray for all of the lonely people out there. When it comes to someone hurting you by saying they didn't want you there, my take is, it's their loss, because you and your family are amazing. Sending you much love and a big ole hug!❤❤

    Janice do not worry for the sounds of the animals... WE LOVE IT... and we can hear you well. Thank you for being courageous and talking wisdom. It is not easy to read emotional messages of lonely people. It is a burden and it makes "feel" responsible... but it really is not your responsibility to make sure that lonely persons are happy or whatever... IT IS THEIR OWN RESPONSIBILITY to do something about it... and you have pointed into the right direction. Please get rid of those emotions burdening you... they are sent from Mr. Hide... the tormentor...! KNOW consciously that it is the evil one and R E N O U N C E those feelings. He "is" those feelings and he is making pressure in the emotions. HE PLAYS IT REAL... he has access to our spirit... and he behaves there like a giant... BUT YOU RENOUNCE HIM... SAY "I" and renounce him: he will flee from you all your life. You have authority, but NOT for battling him, BUT for RENOUNCING him. When you stay away, the Lord makes him flee. If you would try to battle the evil one you would suffer and not getting rid of him, because he is a genius, mighty and evil BUT THE LORD CONQUERED HIM at the cross and therefore only the power of the Lord can make him flee.
    By talking to us is perfect and right... IF MR. HIDE COMES BACK maybe accusing you: RENOUNCE him, do not take it/him serious... he is a beggar and a bluffer!!!! If you take the emotions serious IT IS LIKE letting him in. But you do not want him ruling you and make you suffer, therefore you renounce his hiding place THE EMOTIONS. The Lord is the only power allowed to be present in your spirit... and HE says: I am you and you are "I"...
    And if anybody says that you/your family is not welcome here... (pssst: jealousy) well then, do not accept the pain in you... but KNOW the truth: those ugly words plus your feelings/the pain is nothing but a concoction out of hell... SO JANICE: R E N O U N C E it!! Let it flick off... a n d enjoy your power! Enjoy who you are in the Lord... YOU ARE SOOO BEAUTIFUL.

    Janice you have a heart of gold. I commented on the live stream that your family has kept me going after my husband died. That is not because I’m alone and lonely, but because of the joy and happiness of your family! I am lonely but it is more by choice, in my grief I mostly want to be alone. Most people who have not lost a spouse cannot understand the depth of the loss. Anyway you are amazing your ideas to expand your community are great. I am very grateful for you and your family.

There is comfort sometimes in the things you know and it’s hard sometimes to want to take that step. Janice, you encouraged me to sign up for my first event fir later this week. It’s a meet up at the local ice cream shop but’s just the first step. Thank you for encouraging us. We love you and I’m sorry that your family was treated unkindly today. I know that lonely duck has found the right place you guys and will find the right flock to fit into.

    Enclosing HUGE hugs for you, Janice....and anyone in your family who needs one! I know it won't heal the hurt caused by being told you and your family are not wanted - not sure if you meant this as 'literal neighbors' or your videos are not wanted...the latter is an easy fix - just not watch anymore - but not so easy to move a homestead!!! I see and hear your compassion for those who are lonely and hurting, but I also see and hear your pain in being told those hurtful words. My heart hurts for you, and I pray you will take what you are feeling: all the pain, the tears, the brokenness to the Lord and ask him to carry you through this time, to dry your tears, and to bring you great peace and comfort, and He will help you feel encouraged, and accepted and so loved by Him - - and loved and supported by those who stand with you and your beautiful family. And may that little duckling find a friend with some of the other critters there on your farm - it need not necessarily need to be a duck family. Blessings to each of you. ❤🙏
