Your words leave every one of us spellbound, and that's what we take away at the end. Funny how it encapsulates the entire video. Every single upload leaves me with a hopeful, joyful heart. Because of the very last words. ~ Congratulations on what a success the toy drive has been! The kids are doing a remarkable job of organizing and packing everything up. They've done the same kind of disciplined job you and Jeremy have done on the house. The apples have definitely fallen straight from the trees!

    Funny thing. Today is Tuesday. 🤣
    It is so true about picking your child up. You're aware of this because of Nevaeh, but it is so easy to forget that that day comes all too fast. One day the lifting up will change from physical to emotional. One day they won't come running in to jump on your lap. One day the cuddles just stop. But, if you're lucky, that all just morphs into the adult equivalents.
    I am so amazed by your viewers and so thrilled by them too! This year is going to be a wonderful year for the staff because they will get to do something awesome for their charges. And for the parents too because they'll get to see the smiles and distractions instead of just the worry and sterile environments. I say a great big thank you to all the viewers of GSL! Your support and encouragement mean so much more than y'all could know and I'm proud of each and every one of you! ❤️

    Melissa, one day, when you finally realize that you are old and you can no longer physically do those things that you so enjoyed, will be the time that you start remembering everything you and your children did. That's why it's so important to stop and smell the roses from time to time, as eventually, all that is left is the memories.

    Hello from the state of Iowa. I just wanted to say that hearing your comment about how your kids someday won't need to be lifted up. As a woman of 53 years, I am lucky enough to still have my parents living and I still yearn for their words of encouragement and lifting up. My parents are my best friends! There will come a day when I will take care of them as they did for me for my first 18 years. The love and joy you have for and with your children, I hope, never fades. You both are wonderful parents! It makes me smile to see you joke around and laugh with them. May that never change! God bless and Thank you!

      Jeremy will truely appreciate the overalls in another month, when the chilly winds dont blow between the jeans and the t-shirt. Melissa will be out there with 6 coats on( like Randy from Christmas story), and Jeremy will only need a single layer of cotton duck fabric from the carhart company.

    Melissa has such a way with words. You will someday look into the eyes of your grown children and feel them wrap you in their arms ,as we hugged them. My son is an amazing 41 year old man. He was a tiny little baby when he was born, spent time in NICU. Came home at 5 # 8oz. Now he towers over me and on many occasions picked me up and carried me. All to say, time flies. Take those moments that you will treasure in your heart forever! Hugs from and Kansas Grandma

    As usual lovely video. Totally agree with you. Enjoy your children now, whilst it’s fun, but know this they’ll always want their mum and dad, whatever their age. My boys are 31 & 32 now, yet they still want their mum and dad. In fact as I get older my sons worry about losing me. Life is too short for all of us, live in the moment as much as you can and always make time for yourselves and your children. ❤️

    So much admiration for your family, your devotion and your achievements. However the closer to this one puts it all in place and sums it all up. As someone who’s been there and aged, those precious memories you chose to stop work for will never come back. I didn’t stop because I didn’t know better. I thought I was doing what’s best for the family as a whole. True, I was and all four kids are grown and living their lives to the fullest. So proud of them. But now looking back, I should have stopped. Those moments, those memories can never be relived. Enjoy your accomplishments and rewards, but never forget to stop and enjoy the moment. Those little smiles and “boo boo’s” turn into adults way to quickly. I’m so proud of you guys and your family. May God Bless each of you always.

      When things were at their very worst:
      2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
      Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
      Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
      After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
      Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
      - will seem to rise from the dead
      - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
      One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
      Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
      "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out."
      "Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations - bound as one, at its very core - will all take place at the same time."

For your kids and their future ! Enjoy them now, take time out to listen to their dreams. I have three beautiful grown children but I wish I had spent more time with them as they were growing up. As a single Mom, working & providing for my children was my goal and I feel like I missed out on so much of their every day to day activities. Thank you for helping the kids at St. Jude's, that is an awesome & rewarding act of love.

This time I hope to be more prepared.❤️💔
