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 ❣️
Nancy, I'm so happy that our videos are helpful to you! Seeing comments like yours keep me motivated to put out more videos, so thank you very much for sharing that! :)
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.
@@SusanjocI so agree. I am blessed with family near and my husband is able to take me to appointments . But loneliness is stealthy and can permeate into us as we age I think. Glad we have this channel and, yes, a few others that offer warmth, real life, joy, ….home full of life to see and share.
I was just tell my friend yesterday how you make me feel. A young officer was killed in the line of duty yesterday in my area, and was feeling so emotional and lost . I told her I was going to go watch one of your videos because you make me happy. When ever i'm feeling lost and just dont know what I really need to make it better I remember what you always say . "Just do the next right thing." I am so very thankful for you . Much love and prayers.
Sue, I'm so glad that our videos make you happy! The world sure can be heavy, huh? Please know that I appreciate your love and prayers and I'm sending some from us over here in the Ozarks! :)
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!
Im 59 years old I'm a widow twice I have 5 adult children my oldest son is schizophrenia no one in my family or my husband family ever had anything like that I'm also handicap and can't get out of my house without help so i watch lots of farm family videos and you are one of my favorite
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.
You seem like such a kind sweet person, and this post was a great example of that. You have such an extraordinary family, I'm so very sorry that you were hurt, I can't imagine anyone not wanting to be around you all. You are in my prayers 🌻💛🌻
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 condolences on the losing of your husband, Katrina. What really saddens me is the fact that your husband was killed by a drunk driver. I am glad that you have family and friends who helped you out.
I’m so sorry for the lose of your husband I can’t imagine the pain and loneliness you must be feeling but my heart truly goes out to you. 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. 🥰❤️🙏🏻🍁🇨🇦
@@leannekenyoung Thank you hun, I am okay today, this was in 2011 so time has passed, I miss him everyday, but, I'm really fine these days, you never know what's going to happen in life, cherish every moment with your partner and family, never in a million years would I think I'd be a widow in my 50's, (then) I like to think God needed him!
I understand the loneliness. We are new to the area where we bought our new home. On July 15th, I lost my husband. So now I'm in a new area without the person I was closest to. I was just telling my daughter that we needed to get out, visit churches and find one that we feel we belong in. If you could just say a prayer for me and my girls as we try to build a new normal. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. Thank you reaching out in this video. It did give me hope and made me feel less alone in my heartache and loss. ❤
19:31 praying for you all Janice. This was laid on my heart to share. Thank God for removing you from some unseen, unknown situation, what may feel as hurt and rejection right now, is actually a hedge of protection and blessing. Prayer and hugs. You are welcome and wanted HERE❤
Liebe Janice, dein Video berührt mich sehr. Dieses Gefühl kenne ich. Ich bete für dich, dass Gott dich mit seiner Gegenwart und seiner Liebe durchsprudeln möge. Liebe Grüße von Elfi aus Deutschland
I love your heart Janice! I don’t comment often but watch every video and just wanted to say thank you for showing the kindness in your heart. The world needs so much more like you!!
What a touching video! Someone saying to you that they don't want you hear, says more about their heart than yours!! It's so sad that people have to be that way, being kind doesn't cost a cent. Your family has proven through these videos what a nice, considerate and caring family that you all are. If others can't recognize that then that is their loss. You will always have the YT community that you have built to appreciate you!

I am sure that you helped more people than you know. Thank you for making it a safe place to share hard things and work thru challenges in life. You are a blessing❤
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!
Awww, Janice, youre such a compassionate person. I love watching your channel because your Christians, homesteaders, big family, the values, and just soooo much more! My heart goes out to those that are lonely and I think your channel brings them a togetherness they lack in their lives. Keep up the videos, the sharing, the love and you'll be blessed ❤ Blessings from Texas
Just found your channel very recently and didn’t know where you were until this video. We are in central Arkansas but moved here from St. Louis County, Mo and we used to drive through Poplar Bluff on HWY 67 a few times a year. I have moved a lot and often had no extended family anywhere close. Libraries and churches have been my main source of friends over the years. Two institutions that are having a lot of challenges right now. Pray for our country. Pray for peace. Pray for joy. Carole
Omg. I’m not lonely. I love how you are so resourceful. Love the animals. Love the cooking ideas. Love seeing what your brilliant kids are up to. Love seeing Sean’s projects. Love the best deals. Love hearing the crickets in the background.
Yes, I am lonely. My husband passed away 1.5 weeks ago and I’m alone. I don’t know what to do. Had people praying healing prayers but that didn’t happen. I hurt a lot. Don’t have people living close to me. Please pray for me, Kris.
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
Aww, Kris, I'm so sorry! It sounds as if you are a believer, so you know he is now in his eternal reward, but even that doesn't minimize the pain felt by those of us left here. I will be praying for peace and comfort for you. Paulina
Kris, I’m a disabled widow with 2 young adult children, one with autism. When my husband died in 2009, both sides of the family went vamoose. The best source for any type of enrichment and friendship has been from our parish who started assisting us through the Knights of Columbus as it’s their mission to care for the widow and orphans. I will pray for you, dear Kris as you go through this grief process and I believe Our Lord will place people in your life, soon. God bless you! Mary Ann ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇🎁🎁🎁
Kris, I know how you feel. I was you 3 1/2 years ago. Although, I did have family and friends there was a loneliness deep inside they couldn't touch or heal. 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 posted earlier but for some reason it didn't show up here maybe I forgot to hit the reply button. I am so sorry for your loss I am a widow now of 1 year and I understand how you feel. 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. Blessings of comfort for you Kris and sending a big hug across the miles. Anna In Ohio
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.. Praying helps a lot too..
I don’t have family. That’s all I want. Not to ask money from or favors from.. but to just eventually love. I just miss love. Thank you for this and thank you for your time. This one made me cry. 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 ❤
Oh Alyssa, I do care and I wish so badly that I was able to have "real life" relationships with you and all the other awesome people here! It just makes my heart hurt to know that you and others don't have family or other really close relationships to rely on. It's frustrating to WANT to help, but to be restricted because of time and distance. :)
@@ozarkfamilyhomestead Yes distance is a big part, at least In the beginning when a real family or friend relationship is just starting to form. I totally see the dilemma among others. I just feel like a lost puppy like “ oh hi you pet me and you’re nice to me can I be your puppy!?!” 🐶 Lol
I just subscribed. We probably have only one thing in common and that is that we love our family more than anything. You are kind and caring and your children are amazing. Stay strong and thank you for making my day calmer and I will pray for your family. Even though you are truly blessed ❤
I cannot even begin to tell you how helpful this video was to me. I’m an introvert and often don’t get invited to things. It hurts so much. I sometimes feel like I’m the only one to be excluded. I know I’m not, but it sure can feel that way. Thank you for your kindness and support. ❤
Hello Janice❗️I can’t believe people do the things they do to other people. Why do they think they have the right ? Misery loves company I guess. I personally love watching your channel. Im 65 kids are all out of the house and my husband has had a heart problem for 24 yrs now. He has a defibrillator and rarely feels good. Im often lonely and love inserting myself into your life for a while. Helps me forget I’m lonely for a bit. You keep doing what you’re doing because you are helping us. Many Hugs and Much Love To You and Your Family ♥️😊
You are truly a BLESSING ❤. Not only to your family but to others as well. I love you and your family and only wish the best for you and your family,and your followers as well. Your friend and follower for always,Dawn Holder ❤
Praying for your sweet family. I am a painfully shy person in social situations. Making friends is hard for me. I have acquaintances but few true friends. However, most people don't realize that i struggle socially. I think your message is spot on for many people. My pastor says each person you meet is either a blessing or a lesson. Some can be both.
Hi Janice, I'm so sorry that you had to go through that B/S , some people just have mean streaks thru them. I know how much they hurt you and I feel your pain, but please don't let them bring you down. You are a wonderful person and you have a Beautiful loving Family and you keep walking with your head up high and keep on Smiling and God Bless You and your Beautiful Family 🎉❤😊
Janice, you are so kind and compassionate and your precious family is such a blessing!! You are encouraging to so many people and your family brings joy to so many of us! I’m praying for comfort for your family regarding this difficult time with your family being left out. I’m praying for a friend for your new little duck. Thank you for sharing your heart! ❤️
Echo, actually the noise is wonderful. It’s life. It’s great for all people, especially lonely people it activates their mind my mind. It’s so important to have sound. I live on St Croix alone had a stroke isolated at the moment so the noise is welcoming. Don’t worry about it it makes you feel like you have family and purpose.
Janice, so sorry that you and your family were treated that way! Your heart and personality are so sweet, snd always an encouragement to me. I am 70, recently moved to a new state, to be close to my daughter and her family. So blessed… but am striving to get some new lady friendships… thank you for the encouragement thru your channel. God bless u you all
Oh gosh! I’ve never seen a more warm hearted woman in my life. Especially on UA-cam! I’m not lonely, but if I ever am, I’m going to watch this video again ♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏 Also, getting active in church brings lots of friends ♥️
Ms Janice thank you for sharing. I lost my husband to cancer and I know what it feels like to be lonely. However through prayer and scripture I know that I'm not a lone. I have never met you or your family but I love you all and I do keep you in my prayers. God bless you
I love your gracious heart Janice. I see it every time you post a vlog. You are passing that on to your children. Kudos to you and your husband Shawn. You are an amazing family!!! I never miss an episode!!!
I can say these words, but it doest make it easier to take....you must be happy, content, satisfied with yourself 1st. When you do that it really doesn't matter if people flock to you or not. The joy of the Lord is my strength ❤
Yes I'm 59 use to like near you in Branson. Now just south of phoenix. I could use true friendships. You and your family just bring me pure joy. I just want to adopt you all! My true joy comes from the lord.
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
Janice- ❤ You are so kind and sweet - and have such a lovely family. I can’t even imagine. You keep being yourself. Obviously the rejection has come from someone who needs help. Hugs 💕🌸💕
I’m 73 soon. Husband is 66. We are very lonely. Frequently tears. I told a Dr that I hope our children miss us as much as we miss them. They have busy lives. Your family brings us joy. Thank you .🙏🏻🙏🏻
Value the relationship you have with everyone, no matter how brief of long. Seasons change in life, not everyone is ment to be a "forever" friend. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Some circles are small, some are larger. Keep moving foward, try new things and smile and say Hello to someone new!
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!❤❤
Your families videos brighten my days. I am sorry to hear that adults can not keep from voicing their hurtful comments. I think these people must be hurt, angry, sad and have nothing good to look upon. I pray they find peace and happiness in their lives.
Praying for your family and for the subscribers that have reached out to you with loneliness. I watch your videos regularly and can't imagine why anyone would reject a kind and generous family such as yours. God has a plan for all of us. I know you were guided to make this video to help people reach out and seek the friendship they desire. You are a continued support to us by sharing your grace and compassion. Keep up the good fight Janice.
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.
Thank you for your kindness, sweetness, and care, Janice. We all care about and for you and your family too. People (some) are mean, vicious, and rude, I'm sorry you had that happen to you.
You are a sweet and compassionate woman.There are so many without friends and family and everyday is a real struggle.I think you offered some great suggestions to improve their lives. I’m sorry that someone hurt your feelings but try and let their heartless comment go and concentrate on all your subscribers that love you and your family💞 n 🙏🏻
Awe, I love your videos your family your animals and all the Ozark family shares with all of us. It's such a heart warming welcoming channel that you all created. You are all so very blessed and im so grateful that you created and share this wonderful life you all have. ❤
Hugging you Janice, thank you for your beautiful words. You do help so much just by being yourselves and sharing with us here on youtube. I am sorry for the hurt you all are feeling today, I have had a share of it myself. Please take care and know you are helping all of us just being here.
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.
I'm glad you posted this, Janice - I'm so sorry your family experienced what you did - as for the 'heavy' emails - you handled the discussion really well - my prayers are with you and your family - for a caring, giving person like yourself, I'm sure their words cut deep - I could cry for you . Sending you a virtual hug back xx
You are the kindest, sweetest, most tender-hearted person, Janice! I'm sorry that you/your family had to experience not being wanted. Thank you for sharing this life lesson today. Blessings.
Hi my name is chelly, I've been watching your channel since you've all started, please know that I'M A TRUE FAN, your family is beautiful and the love that's been shown is how the world should be more of, I've also been thru situations were I don't understand why people aren't acting or treating each the same, I'm told alot that " not everyone is like you chelly", but I truly enjoy your channel, continue to show the love and care that needs to be more in the world, I'm from a suburb of buffalo N.Y, ❤❤, lancaster ny, best to u and yours as always, continue to do you😊😊❤
Awe Janice you’re loved back. You are genuinely a kind soul. Whenever I feel hurt or excluded for no reason, I just remember how our own Savior was treated. It’s in those times that I feel closer to God knowing there is a plan that does include me and you too. I wish I lived near you because you’re the kind of true friend I would love to have. Prayers and hugs dear Janice.
I just joined a group called the girl gang they do lots of activities in my area. But I was feeling like I wasn’t sure I wanted to put myself other there and take the chance. 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. ❤🙏
I'm so sorry this happened to you Janice. I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want you and your family around, but please know we like you and want you around here. For those who are lonely, another great way to connect with others is through online groups. There are so many positive groups for gardening, pets, crafts, books, photography, beauty, and every other interest out there that can be a great place to make new friends near and far.
Janice you are a very kind hearted soul and have such compassion for everyone. I am truly sorry that you had to go through whatever the situation was you encountered. Please know that you bring pure joy to everyone here in your community. We love your whole family. People learn how to be compassionate human beings watching your family. We need people to learn how to be nice to each other. We have lost a lot of manners in this world today. The Golden Rule: DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.❤❤😊😊
I can’t imagine why anyone would not want you or your family. I definitely feel lonely and battle being unwanted. We have a special needs teen that is on a child level with his delays and it makes things much harder. I definitely feel excited when I see your videos and like you are a real friend chatting with me. Just by having your video and sharing your life helps me! Definitely praying for your family. I hate you know this exclusion.
Hi Janice it's fiorella from Toronto you are such a beautiful amazing woman and you have a beautiful family and every time I watch your video it just puts a smile on my face I've been with my mother for 56 years and when we move to the country I brought her with us and she's been living with us for 18 years and I took good care of her until the end she's 88 years old and she's in hospice right now she's not only my mother but I'm losing my best friend and even though I have my son and my husband I do feel lonely in the house without her but I know in time he will get a little bit better thank you for this video I needed it God bless you and you're beautiful family ❤️
I love you all too and your precious tender heart Janice ❤ keeping you in my prayers as well. I have lived a solitary life by choice as there are very few whom I trust to enter into my world. Your channel lifts me right up and I’m so very grateful because I never feel alone 🙏🏼 love and virtual 🪽wing hugs from Lily and me xoxo
We love you Janice ,you help in so many ways..Your family videos make my day...Janice you have a heart of gold ..a big~~ Hug~~ for you .and keep smiling that beautiful smile ❤
Janice, I'm sorry you are hurting like that. I say "to have a friend you need to be a friend" and I think you nailed that on the head. The lonely ones need to reach out, meet people however they can and then be a friend first. You are the sweetest family. I cannot understand why anyone would be so cruel as to tell you that.
Thank you for sharing, Janice. You and your family are a true blessing. Thank you for being you. I am sorry that you were hurt by being told that you are not wanted. Whoever said that is not very nice. We are all needed. Your family is awesome. See you tomorrow night for the live chat. I love the live chat.
Janice, you have such a pure heart, you have the heart of God, always feeling kindness and loving toward others. That's what I love most about your family channel. The love and kindness the just flows from you family, and it's true not put on. Thank you and always remember the King is on the throne and HE WANTS YOU! This world is temporary but the kingdom IS FOREVER ❤❤❤
Hi Janice, I can't believe someone did not accept your beautiful family, in my opinion it is their loss. Your family show kindness to everyone from what i see. I know it is hurtful so try not to dwell on it but instead think of all the people that love your family. Love to all, Bob
Janice, you have such a good heart. Bless you for reaching out to those who are suffering from loneliness. I hope you know how loved you and your family are. Praying for y'all. 💛
I’m so sorry you were hurt, you do not deserve to be told such a horrible thing. I absolutely love you and watch your videos to feel the love you share. I pray Jesus blesses you and softens the hurt. ❤❤❤ I love the animal noises.
I'm so sorry someone said that to you, sometimes people are just not nice and that has NOTHING to do with how sweet and awesome your family is ❤️. Also I LOVE all the animal noises, Brisket especially makes me laugh so hard 🤣. And I love how Rebekah says "bye" at the end of your videos, I literally wait til I hear her say that before I move to the next video 😊. - your friend in UA-cam land from Toledo, OH, Kayla
I love the animal noises! So sorry that you’re having a difficult time right now. Praying for your heart to heal quickly. ❤😊I do know that some people aren’t meant to be lifelong friends.
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 ❣️
I have been stuck in a nursing home for three years. Long story. But UA-cam and channels like yours keep my sanity
Nancy, I'm so happy that our videos are helpful to you! Seeing comments like yours keep me motivated to put out more videos, so thank you very much for sharing that! :)
Rebekah genuinely trying to help you find a quiet place is so precious. It shows she’s a caring, sweet child. ❤
❤ I know! I absolutely loved that part. Very intelligent girl!
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.
@@SusanjocI so agree. I am blessed with family near and my husband is able to take me to appointments . But loneliness is stealthy and can permeate into us as we age I think. Glad we have this channel and, yes, a few others that offer warmth, real life, joy, ….home full of life to see and share.
I'm sorry someone excluded you. I imagine it is a blessing in disguise even though it hurts.
When I am excluded I remind myself God needs me to stay clear of that person. God bless!
I was just tell my friend yesterday how you make me feel. A young officer was killed in the line of duty yesterday in my area, and was feeling so emotional and lost . I told her I was going to go watch one of your videos because you make me happy. When ever i'm feeling lost and just dont know what I really need to make it better I remember what you always say . "Just do the next right thing." I am so very thankful for you . Much love and prayers.
Sue, I'm so glad that our videos make you happy! The world sure can be heavy, huh? Please know that I appreciate your love and prayers and I'm sending some from us over here in the Ozarks! :)
So sorry to hear such tragedy. Hugs and prayers
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!
Amen
Im 59 years old I'm a widow twice I have 5 adult children my oldest son is schizophrenia no one in my family or my husband family ever had anything like that I'm also handicap and can't get out of my house without help so i watch lots of farm family videos and you are one of my favorite
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.
You seem like such a kind sweet person, and this post was a great example of that. You have such an extraordinary family, I'm so very sorry that you were hurt, I can't imagine anyone not wanting to be around you all. You are in my prayers 🌻💛🌻
Well said! I love to hear all the animals in the background too!
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 condolences on the losing of your husband, Katrina. What really saddens me is the fact that your husband was killed by a drunk driver. I am glad that you have family and friends who helped you out.
I’m so sorry for the lose of your husband I can’t imagine the pain and loneliness you must be feeling but my heart truly goes out to you. 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. 🥰❤️🙏🏻🍁🇨🇦
@@leannekenyoung Thank you hun, I am okay today, this was in 2011 so time has passed, I miss him everyday, but, I'm really fine these days, you never know what's going to happen in life, cherish every moment with your partner and family, never in a million years would I think I'd be a widow in my 50's, (then) I like to think God needed him!
@@Jverburgh Not sure why my comment was deleted, or maybe YT holding it for review, which is crazy, all I said was TY for the condolences!
I am disabled and bed bound. When I put your channel on your family makes me smile. Thank you for that. ❤
Aww, thank you for sharing that, Helene! It truly does make me happy! :)
I understand the loneliness. We are new to the area where we bought our new home. On July 15th, I lost my husband. So now I'm in a new area without the person I was closest to. I was just telling my daughter that we needed to get out, visit churches and find one that we feel we belong in. If you could just say a prayer for me and my girls as we try to build a new normal. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. Thank you reaching out in this video. It did give me hope and made me feel less alone in my heartache and loss. ❤
Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us, Janice. You all provide so much joy just by being yourselves.
19:31 praying for you all Janice. This was laid on my heart to share. Thank God for removing you from some unseen, unknown situation, what may feel as hurt and rejection right now, is actually a hedge of protection and blessing. Prayer and hugs. You are welcome and wanted HERE❤
God Bless u Janice and your Fam. 🙏
Liebe Janice, dein Video berührt mich sehr. Dieses Gefühl kenne ich. Ich bete für dich, dass Gott dich mit seiner Gegenwart und seiner Liebe durchsprudeln möge. Liebe Grüße von Elfi aus Deutschland
Now I am fully invested in the future of this duck.
😂😂😂 me too!
I want that duck to thrive 💜
So do I
I love your heart Janice! I don’t comment often but watch every video and just wanted to say thank you for showing the kindness in your heart. The world needs so much more like you!!
What a touching video! Someone saying to you that they don't want you hear, says more about their heart than yours!! It's so sad that people have to be that way, being kind doesn't cost a cent. Your family has proven through these videos what a nice, considerate and caring family that you all are. If others can't recognize that then that is their loss. You will always have the YT community that you have built to appreciate you!
Thank you so much for your kindness, Lisa! You're such a blessing to us and I'm so grateful that we've gotten the chance to know you! :)

You are such a precious soul. The world needs more people like you.❤
Thank you Janice. I can't understand why anyone would be so cruel. I pray too. That sweet little duck needs Rebecca's friendship.
I am sure that you helped more people than you know. Thank you for making it a safe place to share hard things and work thru challenges in life. You are a blessing❤
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!
Praying for your family and what you guys went through! 🙏
Awww, Janice, youre such a compassionate person. I love watching your channel because your Christians, homesteaders, big family, the values, and just soooo much more!
My heart goes out to those that are lonely and I think your channel brings them a togetherness they lack in their lives.
Keep up the videos, the sharing, the love and you'll be blessed ❤
Blessings from Texas
Just found your channel very recently and didn’t know where you were until this video. We are in central Arkansas but moved here from St. Louis County, Mo and we used to drive through Poplar Bluff on HWY 67 a few times a year. I have moved a lot and often had no extended family anywhere close. Libraries and churches have been my main source of friends over the years. Two institutions that are having a lot of challenges right now. Pray for our country. Pray for peace. Pray for joy. Carole
Omg. I’m not lonely. I love how you are so resourceful. Love the animals. Love the cooking ideas. Love seeing what your brilliant kids are up to. Love seeing Sean’s projects. Love the best deals. Love hearing the crickets in the background.
Yes, I am lonely. My husband passed away 1.5 weeks ago and I’m alone. I don’t know what to do. Had people praying healing prayers but that didn’t happen. I hurt a lot. Don’t have people living close to me. Please pray for me, Kris.
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
Aww, Kris, I'm so sorry! It sounds as if you are a believer, so you know he is now in his eternal reward, but even that doesn't minimize the pain felt by those of us left here. I will be praying for peace and comfort for you. Paulina
Kris, I’m a disabled widow with 2 young adult children, one with autism. When my husband died in 2009, both sides of the family went vamoose. The best source for any type of enrichment and friendship has been from our parish who started assisting us through the Knights of Columbus as it’s their mission to care for the widow and orphans. I will pray for you, dear Kris as you go through this grief process and I believe Our Lord will place people in your life, soon. God bless you! Mary Ann ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇🎁🎁🎁
Kris, I know how you feel. I was you 3 1/2 years ago. Although, I did have family and friends there was a loneliness deep inside they couldn't touch or heal. 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 posted earlier but for some reason it didn't show up here maybe I forgot to hit the reply button. I am so sorry for your loss I am a widow now of 1 year and I understand how you feel. 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. Blessings of comfort for you Kris and sending a big hug across the miles. Anna In Ohio
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.. Praying helps a lot too..
I don’t have family. That’s all I want. Not to ask money from or favors from.. but to just eventually love. I just miss love. Thank you for this and thank you for your time. This one made me cry. 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 ❤
Oh Alyssa, I do care and I wish so badly that I was able to have "real life" relationships with you and all the other awesome people here! It just makes my heart hurt to know that you and others don't have family or other really close relationships to rely on. It's frustrating to WANT to help, but to be restricted because of time and distance. :)
@@ozarkfamilyhomestead Yes distance is a big part, at least In the beginning when a real family or friend relationship is just starting to form. I totally see the dilemma among others. I just feel like a lost puppy like “ oh hi you pet me and you’re nice to me can I be your puppy!?!” 🐶 Lol
I just subscribed. We probably have only one thing in common and that is that we love our family more than anything. You are kind and caring and your children are amazing. Stay strong and thank you for making my day calmer and I will pray for your family. Even though you are truly blessed ❤
I cannot even begin to tell you how helpful this video was to me. I’m an introvert and often don’t get invited to things. It hurts so much. I sometimes feel like I’m the only one to be excluded. I know I’m not, but it sure can feel that way. Thank you for your kindness and support. ❤
Hello Janice❗️I can’t believe people do the things they do to other people. Why do they think they have the right ? Misery loves company I guess. I personally love watching your channel. Im 65 kids are all out of the house and my husband has had a heart problem for 24 yrs now. He has a defibrillator and rarely feels good. Im often lonely and love inserting myself into your life for a while. Helps me forget I’m lonely for a bit. You keep doing what you’re doing because you are helping us.
Many Hugs and Much Love To You and Your Family ♥️😊
My eyes were getting teary (that is not me at all), hugs to everyone who needs one.
You are truly a BLESSING ❤. Not only to your family but to others as well. I love you and your family and only wish the best for you and your family,and your followers as well. Your friend and follower for always,Dawn Holder ❤
Praying for your sweet family.
I am a painfully shy person in social situations. Making friends is hard for me. I have acquaintances but few true friends. However, most people don't realize that i struggle socially.
I think your message is spot on for many people.
My pastor says each person you meet is either a blessing or a lesson. Some can be both.
Hi Janice, I'm so sorry that you had to go through that B/S , some people just have mean streaks thru them. I know how much they hurt you and I feel your pain, but please don't let them bring you down. You are a wonderful person and you have a Beautiful loving Family and you keep walking with your head up high and keep on Smiling and God Bless You and your Beautiful Family 🎉❤😊
There are enough of us on here, that if we shared our hometowns, we could be a comfort to each other if needed.
Janice, you are the sweetest lady. Bless you and your family. Prayers to you all. ❤
Janice, you are so kind and compassionate and your precious family is such a blessing!! You are encouraging to so many people and your family brings joy to so many of us! I’m praying for comfort for your family regarding this difficult time with your family being left out. I’m praying for a friend for your new little duck. Thank you for sharing your heart! ❤️
Echo, actually the noise is wonderful. It’s life. It’s great for all people, especially lonely people it activates their mind my mind. It’s so important to have sound. I live on St Croix alone had a stroke isolated at the moment so the noise is welcoming. Don’t worry about it it makes you feel like you have family and purpose.
Janice, so sorry that you and your family were treated that way! Your heart and personality are so sweet, snd always an encouragement to me. I am 70, recently moved to a new state, to be close to my daughter and her family. So blessed… but am striving to get some new lady friendships… thank you for the encouragement thru your channel. God bless u you all
Thankyou for sharing a little of your life and days with me very enjoyable
You are such a sweet family I love what you are all about...
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. Im definitely loney with my husband gone. Very sweet of you.
Oh gosh! I’ve never seen a more warm hearted woman in my life. Especially on UA-cam!
I’m not lonely, but if I ever am, I’m going to watch this video again ♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏
Also, getting active in church brings lots of friends ♥️
Ms Janice thank you for sharing. I lost my husband to cancer and I know what it feels like to be lonely. However through prayer and scripture I know that I'm not a lone. I have never met you or your family but I love you all and I do keep you in my prayers. God bless you
I love your gracious heart Janice. I see it every time you post a vlog. You are passing that on to your children. Kudos to you and your husband Shawn. You are an amazing family!!! I never miss an episode!!!
I can say these words, but it doest make it easier to take....you must be happy, content, satisfied with yourself 1st. When you do that it really doesn't matter if people flock to you or not. The joy of the Lord is my strength
❤
Thank you for sharing that truth, Brenda! :)
Yes I'm 59 use to like near you in Branson. Now just south of phoenix. I could use true friendships. You and your family just bring me pure joy. I just want to adopt you all! My true joy comes from the lord.
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!
What a beautiful conversation to have! 💌
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
I just need to watch your videos. Your family is such a joy and brings me happiness
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
Janice- ❤ You are so kind and sweet - and have such a lovely family. I can’t even imagine. You keep being yourself. Obviously the rejection has come from someone who needs help. Hugs 💕🌸💕
I’m 73 soon. Husband is 66. We are very lonely. Frequently tears. I told a Dr that I hope our children miss us as much as we miss them. They have busy lives. Your family brings us joy. Thank you .🙏🏻🙏🏻
Bless you both l hope you find some to talk to or visiting people church meetings etc. Bless you guys❤❤❤
Value the relationship you have with everyone, no matter how brief of long. Seasons change in life, not everyone is ment to be a "forever" friend. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Some circles are small, some are larger. Keep moving foward, try new things and smile and say Hello to someone new!
Your kindness is palpable in this video. God bless you!
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, you are such a sweetheart. You and your family bring me a sense of peace when I’m feeling anxious. God bless you xo
Janice you are such a kind and caring person. Thank you for being you!!
Your families videos brighten my days. I am sorry to hear that adults can not keep from voicing their hurtful comments. I think these people must be hurt, angry, sad and have nothing good to look upon. I pray they find peace and happiness in their lives.
Praying for your family and for the subscribers that have reached out to you with loneliness. I watch your videos regularly and can't imagine why anyone would reject a kind and generous family such as yours. God has a plan for all of us. I know you were guided to make this video to help people reach out and seek the friendship they desire. You are a continued support to us by sharing your grace and compassion. Keep up the good fight Janice.
Love seeing the chickens in the background just living their best life 😂❤❤❤
Watching your videos makes me happy!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this video. Much needed
I am extremely upset that some part of your community has rejected you!!! Your family is so exceptional and would be an asset in any community
Janice, Sometimes it only takes One person to acknowledge someone to help. God bless you.
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.
Thank you for your kindness, sweetness, and care, Janice. We all care about and for you and your family too. People (some) are mean, vicious, and rude, I'm sorry you had that happen to you.
Janice, you are such a wise, caring lady. I'm sorry you all were hurt. Been there also. Thanks for deciding to post the video. Its helping many!
You are a sweet and compassionate woman.There are so many without friends and family and everyday is a real struggle.I think you offered some great suggestions to improve their lives. I’m sorry that someone hurt your feelings but try and let their heartless comment go and concentrate on all your subscribers that love you and your family💞 n 🙏🏻
Awe, I love your videos your family your animals and all the Ozark family shares with all of us. It's such a heart warming welcoming channel that you all created. You are all so very blessed and im so grateful that you created and share this wonderful life you all have. ❤
Hugging you Janice, thank you for your beautiful words. You do help so much just by being yourselves and sharing with us here on youtube. I am sorry for the hurt you all are feeling today, I have had a share of it myself. Please take care and know you are helping all of us just being here.
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.
I'm glad you posted this, Janice - I'm so sorry your family experienced what you did - as for the 'heavy' emails - you handled the discussion really well - my prayers are with you and your family - for a caring, giving person like yourself, I'm sure their words cut deep - I could cry for you . Sending you a virtual hug back xx
You are the kindest, sweetest, most tender-hearted person, Janice! I'm sorry that you/your family had to experience not being wanted. Thank you for sharing this life lesson today. Blessings.

I love watching you and your family , you guys make my day
Awe Janice you’re loved back. You are genuinely a kind soul. Whenever I feel hurt or excluded for no reason, I just remember how our own Savior was treated. It’s in those times that I feel closer to God knowing there is a plan that does include me and you too. I wish I lived near you because you’re the kind of true friend I would love to have. Prayers and hugs dear Janice.
I just joined a group called the girl gang they do lots of activities in my area. But I was feeling like I wasn’t sure I wanted to put myself other there and take the chance. 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.
I loved your little talk and share. My mother told me To have friends you have to show yourself friendly. You are a real blessing to me .
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. ❤🙏
Janice you are such a wonderful person, You try to help others.You are a true blessing to others. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so sorry this happened to you Janice. I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want you and your family around, but please know we like you and want you around here. For those who are lonely, another great way to connect with others is through online groups. There are so many positive groups for gardening, pets, crafts, books, photography, beauty, and every other interest out there that can be a great place to make new friends near and far.
Janice you are a very kind hearted soul and have such compassion for everyone. I am truly sorry that you had to go through whatever the situation was you encountered. Please know that you bring pure joy to everyone here in your community. We love your whole family. People learn how to be compassionate human beings watching your family. We need people to learn how to be nice to each other. We have lost a lot of manners in this world today. The Golden Rule: DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.❤❤😊😊
I can’t imagine why anyone would not want you or your family. I definitely feel lonely and battle being unwanted. We have a special needs teen that is on a child level with his delays and it makes things much harder. I definitely feel excited when I see your videos and like you are a real friend chatting with me. Just by having your video and sharing your life helps me! Definitely praying for your family. I hate you know this exclusion.
Hi Janice it's fiorella from Toronto you are such a beautiful amazing woman and you have a beautiful family and every time I watch your video it just puts a smile on my face I've been with my mother for 56 years and when we move to the country I brought her with us and she's been living with us for 18 years and I took good care of her until the end she's 88 years old and she's in hospice right now she's not only my mother but I'm losing my best friend and even though I have my son and my husband I do feel lonely in the house without her but I know in time he will get a little bit better thank you for this video I needed it God bless you and you're beautiful family ❤️
God bless you and your loving spirit and if someone doesn’t want you to be here, they have the CHOICE not to watch!
I love you all too and your precious tender heart Janice ❤ keeping you in my prayers as well. I have lived a solitary life by choice as there are very few whom I trust to enter into my world. Your channel lifts me right up and I’m so very grateful because I never feel alone 🙏🏼 love and virtual 🪽wing hugs from Lily and me xoxo
We love you Janice ,you help in so many ways..Your family videos make my day...Janice you have a heart of gold ..a big~~ Hug~~ for you .and keep smiling that beautiful smile ❤
Janice, I'm sorry you are hurting like that. I say "to have a friend you need to be a friend" and I think you nailed that on the head. The lonely ones need to reach out, meet people however they can and then be a friend first. You are the sweetest family. I cannot understand why anyone would be so cruel as to tell you that.
Thank you for sharing, Janice. You and your family are a true blessing. Thank you for being you. I am sorry that you were hurt by being told that you are not wanted. Whoever said that is not very nice. We are all needed. Your family is awesome. See you tomorrow night for the live chat. I love the live chat.
Janice, you have such a pure heart, you have the heart of God, always feeling kindness and loving toward others. That's what I love most about your family channel. The love and kindness the just flows from you family, and it's true not put on. Thank you and always remember the King is on the throne and HE WANTS YOU! This world is temporary but the kingdom IS FOREVER ❤❤❤
Hi Janice, I can't believe someone did not accept your beautiful family, in my opinion it is their loss. Your family show kindness to everyone from what i see. I know it is hurtful so try not to dwell on it but instead think of all the people that love your family.
Love to all,
Bob
So sorry that happened to you and your family! Just know you’re Loved and are All AWESOME!
Janice, you have such a good heart. Bless you for reaching out to those who are suffering from loneliness. I hope you know how loved you and your family are. Praying for y'all. 💛
I’m so sorry you were hurt, you do not deserve to be told such a horrible thing. I absolutely love you and watch your videos to feel the love you share. I pray Jesus blesses you and softens the hurt. ❤❤❤ I love the animal noises.
Janice, I just love your family. I have not missed any of your videos since I found you . Wish we lived closer. Maybe a visit someday🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I'm so sorry someone said that to you, sometimes people are just not nice and that has NOTHING to do with how sweet and awesome your family is ❤️. Also I LOVE all the animal noises, Brisket especially makes me laugh so hard 🤣. And I love how Rebekah says "bye" at the end of your videos, I literally wait til I hear her say that before I move to the next video 😊. - your friend in UA-cam land from Toledo, OH, Kayla
I love the animal noises! So sorry that you’re having a difficult time right now. Praying for your heart to heal quickly. ❤😊I do know that some people aren’t meant to be lifelong friends.
