HAPPY MONDAY! Something exciting happened yesterday...eeeee! Come celebrate with us :) And... share a memorable moment with us... I'm gonna share a memorable Christmas day. Being with my family when I was about 8 (just the four of us) at home and having a fun, quiet day celebrating and playing with my new gift of a tiny farm set! The cows were like an inch long! Imagine how small the pigs were! Ok, I want to hear your memorable moment!
The Frey Life I loved that poem. Can you make a clip of it by itself? It would awesome to share by itself. Just because some people would be more likely to watch it.
When my grandma was alive she would put undies, socks, apples and oranges in my stockings. I miss her so much, so Christmas isn't the same without her. I love you Nana RIP.
I remember one Christmas I was in the hospital and got to go home for a few hours. It was a magical morning getting to 'escape' and just be surrounded by friends and family
Oh, Peter, as a mother of three, grandmother of 9, and great-grandmother of 2, I've seen and heard a lot of ministers, pastors, and preachers - and I can say that you are one of _the_ best. I believe the Lord has given you such an incredible gift of teaching, and reaching the lost. Wow. Thank you. God bless you. ♥
Peter....your poem was amazing.......you are a wonderful shining light teaching the word and love of God. I'm a preacher's daughter..... (and old one) .....and I haven't enjoyed listening to a minister like you for many years. Your love, passion, belief, and joy shine bright. Thank you......
Peter your poem was very very powerful !! Peter you have come a long way from when you first became pastor at your church. You preached with conviction spoke the truth and sent a very powerful messsge. Thank You Peter.
I was raised without religion and honestly it gets so easy to overlook by some people because it gets polluted, but Peter really made me think about life in another way. I was literally brought to tears by his sermon. Thank you for always putting all the love and work into your sermons, Peter. You guys may think youre a small fish in a big pond but you truly are changing the world. Maybe one person at a time, maybe hundreds, numbers dont matter, but you are spreading Gods word in the most honest, caring, and open minded way and you are lightening our hearts at the same time.
Hope you guys found the piece dropped behind the heater/ vent...where Mary was cutting her plastic pieces...I doubt that a fire could start, but maybe, but the burning plastic is very harsh and toxic to lungs no matter if they are fine or have heath issues...I do believe that most people know the true meaning of Christmas, or we can hope. They need to remember it not just at Christmas and Easter but all year...people forget that God is ever present....He is always present, and He is everywhere....Happy Christmas. P. S. Mary I understand, cause my friends will take the Starbucks right out of my hand! Inhalers make us hyper add some coffee....you reminded me of me....you were a chatter box... and talked really fast, it was great to see someone else do it too!! Thanks for that!!🎄🎄🤗🤗
Thank you Mary and Peter!!!! I was leaving comments in your vidoes about getting a service dog and gofundme. Because you guys did not complain I was able to get all the funds....AND I heard from the breeder the mom dog is in heat so we will have a puppy service dog in training soon. Thank you again to everyone for their support.
I’m excited to go watch Peter’s sermon. As hard as it is for me to admit it, chronic illness recently has caused my faith to stumble. Even that little bit of Peter’s sermon really helped me realize that God is with me through the troubles in my life
Peter! The words you wrote and spoke were magnificent and moved my heart and soul. He came for you and he came for me. Really, unbelievably articulated and so eloquently spoken. I am humbled by those precious words and I felt God coming right through you. Thank you so much for sharing that. Thank you so much.
Beautiful poem, Peter. Sending to my family and friends, the sermon. I picked up an extra shift today so watching on my break. My cousin recently birthed twins, they're celebrating at our home this year. My toddler son will meet the babies! She gave birth in my hospital during my shift! It's important to remember what Christmas truly is. My heart is happy and full. Blessings to you 3.
Haven’t been able to watch y’all for awhile and just happened to click on your video first. Peters poem brought me to tears. Definitely something I needed to hear. It blows my mind how God speaks to us 💜💜 Thank you for sharing such an amazing piece of your lives 😌
Oh WOW!! That poem was SO powerful!! Gave me major goosebumps! Thank you so much for sharing! I’ll make sure I go watch the sermon. So happy for you Mary!! Woop woop!! I can’t imagine how good it must feel to finally be free of all of that!
I absolutely love you guys and I watch all your videos so please don’t take this the wrong way, but you are not the only people in the world with a service dog. You are not the only people who travel with a service dog. Other people have dogs, dogs bark, they communicate. If you have a service dog out in the public, it is just a reality that other people may have their dogs. You just keep walking and keep your dog on task of going with you. A bark is kinda surprising, but not as big of a deal that it is made out in the videos.
The poem was touching, can't wait to pass the sermon along to my family! We were explaining the true meaning of Christmas to our 3 year old son. I hear him praying by himself after his nap sometimes. As a mother, my heart is happy. Dogs don't have reasoning like humans do. It's good to be able to just walk away.
Thanks for always helping me end my day with a smile guys(it's 12:10am here in England)I hate how commercialised Christmas has become now.I for one will be celebrating:"The Real Reason For The Season" As always sending you all loads of love and prayers from me and my furbabies over here in England 🙏🏼🙏🏼💜🐶🐾🇬🇧
There are some stores that allow pets. More than you’d think. I understand not wanting a service dog to be distracted, but really, I have a right to have my well-behaved non service dog in a store that allows dogs just as much as Ollie is allowed to be there. And I agree that you shouldn’t take ill-mannered dogs in public, but some dogs are just learning how to behave. It happens.
CHRISTOPHER DEMOREST I agree with the behaved and misbehaved dogs. Marshall’s in my area is pet friendly. I would never allow my dog to distract a service animal if we were both allowed in the same place though, just like you said.
I don't understand why Peter and Mary keep pointing it out. Yeah, it sucks that it may have been a pet, but who knows. I'm sure the owner was embarrassed. If they want to change the ADA, they should write to their congress representatives.
Peter that message from your sermon brought me to tears, it was a beautiful message. It can be hard to forget the reason that we should all be so thankful, and the “reason for the season.” One of my favorite saying is “not every day may be great, but there is something great in every day.” It makes me feel so blessed that He came for me, and for all of us.
I am not religious but that piece of spoken word was amazing and made me feel empowered! Sorry I haven't watched your videos for a while well done Mary off IVs!!!!!
PETER!!!! You’ve been holding back on us!!!! You’re an AMAZING poet!!! Slam poetry is your thing dude!!! With the unwavering, powerful love of Christ in you, you have a awesome way of sharing your thoughts and feelings with us 💖
I REALLY enjoyed today's video. You all are so inspiring and uplifting. Love you guys so much! Congratulations to you Mary! So happy for you. Keep fighting. I love that your name and Peter's come from the bible. See you all tomorrow.
Awesome message Peter!!! Yo ur ending really touched my heart. You Peter are an AWESOME preacher. Your not afraid to let the anointing flow... God is using you in a mighty way. Praise God... And congrats Mary no more IV'S PRAISE JESUS!!! WHAT A BLESSING!!! May Jesus be lifted up with praise in all we do and say... Be blessed... BBE..
So happy you ain't got no needle in your chest! Thank you for reminding me of the true meaning of Christmas. I'm going to visit my very sick uncle in the hospital tomorrow. He introduced me to my husband 26 years ago. My heart is already hurting, knowing his life is coming to its end. I love him so much. Praying for him, maybe a miracle. 🙏🏼
Wow! A thankful day on SO many levels! No more IVs, Mary attending church, learning from the Dexcom(so), Peter's Spoken Word was So moving - brought tears to my eyes, eating out together & spikey Eggnog, and as always, Ollieboy!💕God is SO good!
Yay for being done with IVs! I Love watching your journey every day--my best friend has CF and I am learning so much about it through you. I'm not sure if this possible, but I LOVED Peter's poem and I was wondering if you could post a written copy or e-mail one? I facilitate a faith sharing group at my church and I think it would be perfect to share with everyone.
Just watched Peters Sermon!! It was so good!!! Thank you Peter. It helped bring me back to the purpose of Christmas and to think about how he came here. I love your poem. It really touched me.
I wholeheartedly LOVED this video. I love them all, but..this one was great. I loved Peter's poem at the end of his sermon. Your faces with the "so many people" was awesome!!
Your videos give me life Mary, thanks for allowing us to be apart of it and for sharing your journey because whenever I'm having a horrible day watching y'all's video's & your over-all positive attitude and out-look on life seriously uplifts my spirits & reminds me to be grateful ❤️
First off I want to say I absolutely LOVED Peter’s spoken word poem! Got me in my feels! For you Mary, I’m a diabetic that started on the opposite end. Like you, I kept low blood sugars. I have found that if you eat something with protein, like peanut butter or cheese etc. when you see a decline in your sugar it was raise it slowly and level out and stay in range longer rather having something sugary that will spike it or make it go up quickly and then go back down quickly due to your body metabolizing it too quick since it just sugar (like the apple juice). I hope this helps. I love you guys!
💗 i had to pause for a few moments as this brought tears to my eyes not only for the message to remind us each the reason for the season and why he had to come like he did, but that he did it for each of us.
Just WOW! Peter, would you consider putting this is the store in some format (postcard, magnet...um written on a napkin 💖😉) so we can buy it? Your spoken word was beyond powerful! JUST A-MAZINGLY wow-erful! Gifted pastor... but I know it's because you do the work... and spend the time preparing. I pray for you both... and have come to love you both through your videos! God bless you!
Peter, amen, glory to god I got a light in my tummy it's been a while since I heard a sermon as good as yours I am going to subscribe to ur channel so I can feel good thank you for letting me feel god is still in me xx I love watching u and Mary u r just an inspiration and ollie is just the sweetest xx
Over the years of having a service dog in the family and having to deal with other people's pets in public my feelings have changed a great deal. It used to be that I actually felt insulted, I guess I could say, when someone was 'abusing' the law regarding service dogs to simply have their companion animal accompany them into a store or other public place, especially if that lead to barking when I had a dog that had to live up to the rules a service dogs is supposed to operate under. In many of those early days we lived in areas that were not the most pet friendly so when we moved to an area of the country that was 'into' being pet friendly I think my position changed. I still expect our dog to act like he is trained to act - he has a role to perform and part of being able to perform that is his training as a service dog but I came to realize that just because I had a service dog did not mean that companion animals for others were not as important to them in one way or the other as our dog was to us. So what if a companion animals barks. It would be nice if everyone could teach their dog not to bark but that is never going to happen. There are as many reasons why some companion animals cannot be left behind as their are reasons that people have companion animals that fill as important a need for a person as a service dog does but without the extra training. It does not diminish my dog if someone else's dog barks. As long as the animal is under control, is not rabid and does not bite me I have adopted a live and let live attitude in the past years. For whatever reason they have their companion animals with them it could be just as important as having our service dog with us. Just because they could not afford a service dog does not mean that that animals is not affording them an important service and it does not make what my dog does any less a service dog if a companion dog gets the same respect as my service dog does. I did thing 180 degree change in though when I realized that commenting to a clerk that a 'companion dog' barked in a store as a way to point out that I had a service dog and they did not, or going out of my way to inform a clerk about service dog policy was actually my ego more so then anything else. It took a while to learn to be more accepting of other people's companions but once I started to not have to point out the differences between my 'service dog' and someone else's 'companion animal' I started being a much happier person and actually got to a place where I just don't even notice other animals as long as mine is doing what he should be doing.
Nicely put. There's no point to causing a fuss over a dog. Do they expect the clerk to tell the person to leave, and then have the store get sued when it turns out that the dog actually is a service dog (albeit a poorly behaved one)?
Would be happy to have you... I have had it for 14 years... It is hard to have a good day followed by many bad ones.I can still walk but my legs are very weak... and the dizzy spells are bad so I am greatful to be able to get a service dog to train.
Yay! I'm so excited for you!!! Today I scheduled 3 Doctors appointments - genetics, cardiology and orthopedics for January 11th, got almost all my Christmas shopping done so I get to just hang out and enjoy the rest of the season without feeling rushed :)
Peter, that poem was AMAZING! you are truly gifted. And yes, last week I saw my second fake service dog at work. I swear next time I will get a manager. It's seriously annoying (and illegal and everything else), I'm not exactly comfortable confronting these people myself, but I'm afraid my manager wouldn't do anything about it. And of course I got a snippy costomer who either didn't understand the severity of mental illness, didn't know the difference between an ESA and psychiatric service dog, or just thought that people who are allergic to dogs should take priority over someone who relies on a legitimate service dog. I kept my mouth shut, but I was screaming inside because I thought of you, my friend who has one, and the two costumers I've seen with legitimate needs for them.
Listening to Peter both in this vlog and his channel, almost made me cry he is such a great speaker and his delivery is so soulful!! Totally what people need to hear during the mass marketing of the $$$ of Christmas is out there and it is not all that it is about.
Aw! Mary, you are so cute, and you look SO happy! What a relief it must be to be finished IVs! Hooray! Oh and I said “bless you” when you sneezed three times. LOL! So, bless you! 😁
I use to work for a retail store people would always bring the dogs inside my managers would tell them only service dogs. I didn’t know why that was but now I know that they are doing their job and can’t be distracted. Always learning something new.🙂

I tell you that message God gave at church was so good. It really touched my soul:) Your church and the Swaggarts are the real message of the Cross.
Thank you Mary and Peter!!!! I was leaving comments in your vidoes about getting a service dog and gofundme.

Amazing spoken word Peter just so good to hear the truth of the meaning of Christmas amen
Peter just wow! That poem gave me chills, Praise God, Glory to Jesus!!!❤
So glad we were able to share our snow day from our side of the Atlantic with you guys! xxxx

Your relationship is so special, I totally love watching you guys
You guys give me the reason and strength to keep going everyday! You guys have also helped me so much with keeping my faith even with my sicknesses!

It does not diminish my dog if someone else's dog barks. As long as the animal is under control, is not rabid and does not bite me I have adopted a live and let live attitude in the past years. For whatever reason they have their companion animals with them it could be just as important as having our service dog with us. Just because they could not afford a service dog does not mean that that animals is not affording them an important service and it does not make what my dog does any less a service dog if a companion dog gets the same respect as my service dog does. I did thing 180 degree change in though when I realized that commenting to a clerk that a 'companion dog' barked in a store as a way to point out that I had a service dog and they did not, or going out of my way to inform a clerk about service dog policy was actually my ego more so then anything else. It took a while to learn to be more accepting of other people's companions but once I started to not have to point out the differences between my 'service dog' and someone else's 'companion animal' I started being a much happier person and actually got to a place where I just don't even notice other animals as long as mine is doing what he should be doing.
Nicely put. There's no point to causing a fuss over a dog. Do they expect the clerk to tell the person to leave, and then have the store get sued when it turns out that the dog actually is a service dog (albeit a poorly behaved one)?
businesses are allowed to ask for dogs, even service dogs to be removed if they are causing a disruption i.e. barking. They wouldn't be sued
I think it has to be more than barking, but you're right that they can be excluded. www.ada.gov/regs2010/service_animal_qa.html
OHHHH WOW Mary!!!! I wish I lived near you guys so that I could go to your church. Peter did a beautiful job. I need a church with passion like that.
MS Strong with a Service Dog I too have MS...have had it for 12 years...i too am disabled from it...i am planning on subbing to your channel
Would be happy to have you... I have had it for 14 years... It is hard to have a good day followed by many bad ones.I can still walk but my legs are very weak... and the dizzy spells are bad so I am greatful to be able to get a service dog to train.
Wow! Peter gave me the chills! Thank you for sharing! yes to no more IV's!
Been praying for y’all!!
Yay! I'm so excited for you!!! Today I scheduled 3 Doctors appointments - genetics, cardiology and orthopedics for January 11th, got almost all my Christmas shopping done so I get to just hang out and enjoy the rest of the season without feeling rushed :)
Peter, that poem was AMAZING! you are truly gifted. And yes, last week I saw my second fake service dog at work. I swear next time I will get a manager. It's seriously annoying (and illegal and everything else), I'm not exactly comfortable confronting these people myself, but I'm afraid my manager wouldn't do anything about it. And of course I got a snippy costomer who either didn't understand the severity of mental illness, didn't know the difference between an ESA and psychiatric service dog, or just thought that people who are allergic to dogs should take priority over someone who relies on a legitimate service dog. I kept my mouth shut, but I was screaming inside because I thought of you, my friend who has one, and the two costumers I've seen with legitimate needs for them.
Listening to Peter both in this vlog and his channel, almost made me cry he is such a great speaker and his delivery is so soulful!! Totally what people need to hear during the mass marketing of the $$$ of Christmas is out there and it is not all that it is about.
Wow. That poetry was so awesome. Great job Peter.
Wow, I've been loving your videos for while but seeing Peter's spoken word really gave some dimension to my understanding of you all
I got my Ollie bundle today!!! Hooray! Btw I loved Peters message. You three are such a blessing! 💕
Watched Peter's sermon! It was awesome! Thank you both for your encouragement!
Aw! Mary, you are so cute, and you look SO happy! What a relief it must be to be finished IVs! Hooray!
Oh and I said “bless you” when you sneezed three times. LOL! So, bless you! 😁
That poem was AMAZING!! Can Peter make a video with just the poem by itself? I’d like to share it and I would love to see it go viral!!
Mary, Peter - could you share the text of that poem you wrote. Breath taking.
I use to work for a retail store people would always bring the dogs inside my managers would tell them only service dogs. I didn’t know why that was but now I know that they are doing their job and can’t be distracted. Always learning something new.🙂
