I was out of commission for about a week. I had a pinched nerve in my back. I was screaming and crying...couldnt do anything. My sister came over and fed the chickens, cats, dog..brought me food, took me to chiropractor..brought me meds, watered my plants. Thank you Lord for such a strong beautiful sister.
Wishing l had one!
I have my other œ, & he's my soul mate & rock. Plus, we're like-minded, & see what's coming. I, too, have a bad back, & the battery for my surgically implanted spinal nerve stimulator stopped working yesterday. Trying to get another sent overnight. I've gotta can peaches, blackeyed peas, & green beans canned today, & don't know if I can. My adult daughter doesn't want to learn, & my other œ is very unsure. I'm praying, & we can only do what we can:)
Btw I pray for you to have relief, as well! Yashua is great!
You are very fortunate to have a sister that loves you.
You are blessed
I have an older brother who has been through a really tough time. He lost his wife several years ago, they had no children, he lost his home and has multiple health problems. Back in April his rent was raised an additional $500 per month which he cannot afford. After working with the VA and a housing person I know, they are able (for the time being) to cover the difference in the rent. He is very woke and Patriotic but was losing the will to fight, stopped eating and was giving up.I showed him my canned goods and how we are prepping and offered to help him. It took about a month for it to sink in that he has help available. He cleaned out his freezer with meat that is awesome and had me can it for him . Then wanted canned meals in pints so he is not overwhelmed with a big meal. Today he stopped by with canning jars to replace mine and he is back to making sourdough bread. God is so good and He truly uplifts those who are really down. Great to see my big brother back in the fight!!!
You are so blessed, but he has received the blessings. Prayers for both of you đ â€ïž
wow! awesome!!!
Love this â€
A lot of people have backed off from me who I thought were super good friends because I speak the name of Jesus. I am like the lighthouse I'm sending out warnings to everybody and trying to get them to understand but they're so blinded and hard-hearted they are not listening. My circle is lower than 5. I'm trying I'm 65 years old and I have nobody to help take care of me I'm running into problems trying to get help and I wouldn't doubt that in the next 2 years I end up in a nursing home if Jesus doesn't come before then. Y'all pray for me
Prayers lifted. đ
Prayers to you! Stay strong. Much love â€ïžđ€đ

I will pray for u. I also understand. Some people just won't listen.
My beautiful wife passed away in 2019 after a 6 year battle with cancer. She was only 40 years old. Only my grandmother and our faith were there to bear my grief. Everyone else abandoned me, everyone. Ironically some made my life even more difficult because I wasnât doing what they recommended, like taking an antidepressant, dating or socializing . I seem to have a lot going for me on the surface, but they donât understand when my wife took her last breath I lostâŠtoo much. So, this video is very true.
Praying for you.

Remember, there are predators out there that will pretend to care. But they will stab you in the back when shtf.
Agree đŻ
Oh I agree 100%
Some do even without a shtf scenerios
Yep!
My mother used to say... If you have 5 true friends you have a blessing â€
My mom would have been 100 years old this September. She said a $1 bill is your best friend if you have one. đ
I would say if you have 1-2. I couldn't count 5 true friends but I am blessed for the ones I have.
I just had to kick out my 44 year old son đą he's addicted to drugs, doesn't even try to find a job. He got food stamps but used them to get drugs, so I was feeding him, buying him clothes, shoes, and cigarettes. I'm trying to pay off my debts but he was a hindrance. I'm praying for him but know that I have to take care of myself and my family! đą
I understand. You have to make him take care of himself or he never will.
Proud of you for making hard choices! Itâs the only way he will learn as hard as it is on your heart!
Blessings!
Prayers for you and him!â€
It's hard but trust me you did the right thing.â€

Ireland here. Just want to let yous know whats happening here. Yesterday a man was sta bbed 20 times in Dublin, Ireland and the man that did it walked away Yesterday on bail !! These people not from our island can literally do anything they want and theres little to no justice!
Praying for you. đ
It's the same here in the USA. I never thought I'd see something like this.
Iâve lost so many âfriendsâ over the plandemic and politics over the last 4 yrs! I get itâŠ..but I believe God removed them for me to get closer to him. đ Get saved, Jesus is comingđđđ»âïž
Wheat from the chaffâŠâŠit was foretold.
My hisband and i closed the circle about 5 years ago. Remember, man will let you down. God never will.
Amen
†yes đ this đŻ
Truth and Amen !! đđđđ
AMEN!
â€ïž&đ
My circle is pretty much me. And I'm ok with that.
Same here⊠but the best conversations I have are with myself anyhow.
Same here
Myself and my husband. A few ladies from church. Thatâs all I need.
Mine as well
Same here.
Just got off the live with Trump and Musk, it was good to hear SOME things not touted in speeches...Trump truly WANTS the best for our nation, our kids, and theirs and EVEN THEIRS deserve a growing up in a nation like I did...we MUST KEEP PRAYING! Prayer can stop the evil trying to destroy the nation!
Where did you see it I couldn't get on?
@@sandyjolley9810 I listened on X.
Itâs all over utube.
@@sandyjolley9810, I found it on Rumble when I couldnât get in. Elon said that it will be played again and again the next few weeks!
Amen!
I AM my circle. My relationship with my Lord is all I trust. He alone has my back!
Amen!
I am prepping, praying and spreading the gospel while I can !! đđđđđ
Me too.
My neighbor is ok, she isnât a very deep person I think, she doesnât ever bring up anything thatâs going onâŠso I am mumâŠ
My spouse was going through cancer treatment and she was always wanting updates on him.. sheâs nice enough and has brought food over several times, but I donât trust hereâŠev two mos she wants me to come over for coffee but all of a sudden I donât want to..I feel like sheâs being manipulative.. oh well, Iâll just keep it on the surface with her, not tell her all our business.
My 1st trustable one is my son, then my spouse, thatâs all.
I have found out this past 1 1/2 years when I was dealing with breast cancer that my circle is very small and only consist of my sister and brother in law. Not even my sons or grandchildren were there for me, and I have had to come to that realization. It's sad but true that you find out who will be here for you when the chips are down. I'm still dealing with the extreme fatigue from the chemo. So I'm having a hard time getting things done, but I'm doing the best that I can. I'm almost 67 years old and disabled due to my back and arthritis. I'm also over seeing my much younger brother which has seizure disorder. Please keep me in your prayers.
There's a new phrase going around, it's called "elder orphans". It's people like you that did things for others and now nobody does anything for us.
Prayers lifted!â€
Praying for you and your family

Interesting timing for me. You are absolutely right. We have been giving food, out of our gardens, to our neighbors. Suddenly, instead of taking our advice and growing their own food, they are asking us for more because they are giving it away to their friends!. Our intent was to be neighborly and encourage them to step up and grow their own food. They have cars and boats and all kinds of fancy toys, but are not doing anything to prepare. We are in our 60's, work full time, and maintain a homestead. We are always working. We are not here to feed the world. It's insulting.
At least you found out beforehand.
I just tell them the well went dry.
Wow, that is so rude!
Time to find someplace else to share your extras. At least you know beforehand that you cannot count on them.
So entitled to think they can ask you for more for THEIR friends!! đ
@amycopeland1701prob selling it to their friends. đ for them to buy them a Starbucks each day.
Start canning it then. Granted everyone loves a garden fresh tomato. Nothing else like it đ
You are so right. I learned at a young age no one is coming to save you - except Jesus. đŻ You can't trust most people.
I Personally Don't Trust Anyone, Family included! Yes I have friends, but to Me They are More of Acquaintances than REAL Friends...
Family is my problem! It's hard to make the break.
I have only one like minded & trusted friend. The girls I play cards with 2 x a week I only consider as acquaintances
I hear you
My husband and I have been married 44 years. Our daughter, first born, was special needs. She passed away 10 years ago. None of my husbandâs siblings were there for us. They came to the house after the funeral and most havenât been back. Nor did the call or invite us over or out. Our 2 Adult sons have been there.
â€
If I tighten my circle anymore,I will be alone.
Same here! We'll just have to be alone togetherđ
SameâŠ
Lol you 2...you can join my family â€
My circle is a flat line.
Same
"When you had covid did they show up and try and put chicken noodle soup on your doorstep? No, why do you think they're going to be there for you in a crisis"? Wow. Harsh reality. Truth that needed to be said though.
I was already thinking that right before she said it!
My sister who was, what I thought my best friend. We spent hours on the phone and together. Then my mom got sick and this women cared more about money than me. She wanted it all. Lies, deception, manipulation and theft. I never would've dreamed that would happen. Now I know that horrible time was a blessing to remove her for such a time as this. Boy my whole life living under a narcissist was revealed. God is good.
Edit: days ahead
Iâm facing this now. With my 2 daughters. I had a kidney stone at first of July. Surgically removed. My sweet husband is my constant! Our daughters have not been to check on me. And my husband has been so upset for their lack of concern. And they are keeping our grandchildren away. Iâm beyond heartbroken!
That is really sad.
I have been hurt so many timesâŠI just couldnât do it anymore. 8 months ago I prayed and prayedâŠI was able to face who they are and who I amâŠand I finally walked away. The Lord taught me the very painful lesson, of stop making excuses for people. My heart feels lighter, my thoughts are clear. Amen
words are worthless unless they are backed with integrity and action
SO true !!!
PRAY AND ACT
I have so many family and friends that I have been telling to prepare for the hard times that I am sure is coming, but they aren't listening. I have been at it for 4 years and do not plan on stopping.
Amen. Keep on keeping onâ€ïžđ
I am in the same boat but I don't stop. Just makes me sad
Patara, I feel like as much as we have tried to tell people to prep and prepare, and they donât listen then the best we can do is just make sure that those in your household is taken care of.
Exactly
@@billiepreston5470and thats just fine.
Yes Ma'am!
â€ïž&đ
I understand exactly what youâre talking about. They didnât show up. Over the years, many people have fallen away. It hurt, but looking back I know it is for the best.
Thank you Patera, your message was directed at me. My dad died a year and a half ago under suspicious circumstances. M y family covered it up, lied about it, let me do all the work to clean out his house, then they took his money and split. I don't speak to any of them anymore and probably never will. I cannot trust them anymore. We used to get along but all that is gone now. It has taken me over a year to start healing from the grief, anger and betrayal they caused but I am finally moving on. I am thankful for my husband, he has been there for me when no one else has! Your message really resonated with me today. God Bless. Love those baby goats and their twitchy tails!
Peace and blessings to you sister.
Been there. At least you know before the storm to not let them in.
I'm so sorry!!!! I'm going thru something very similar to this right now with nasty family. Their colors truly come out, and it's not pretty. Keep doing what's right, at least we have peace and can sleep at night, which most likely isn't the case for them!!
Heartbreaking. God has you and he will keep you strong. â€đ
@@For.such.a.time.as.this. Well, they may sleep fine, right now, but they wonât be getting a wink, in eternity.
Remember this...your never alone, God is always there with you. Cling to him.
We have our Mag! We have joined our farm with both neighbors. We all have each other's Backs. One neighbors is retired Memphis police officer the other neighbors are farmers like we are. We all share with each other.
Just be careful. â€ïž
You're right.
As hard as it is, even family can show who they really are
Neither my or my husbands family will be in our fold when SHTF. They have both shown themselves to be takers over the last few decades. They believed they were in control of our family during the GOOD days and made our lives miserable. They were jealous- and we were supposed to do/handle and pay for EVERYTHING for them. Some family even from other states. Weâve pretty much cut the ones in our state/town off, no communication. My husband occasionally talks with his mother and her husband but they are not welcome here when SHTF.
Almost all of our family sucks.
Friends are the family you CHOOSE.
I had a friend who lives in a city reach out to me last night about preparing. She figured out from things I've posted that I would know. We talked for 4 hours, and I sent her links for things she would need for her unique situation. Better late than never.
I have my husband, my in-laws that are in their 80âs, and a guy at work that is more like a brother. Gets lonely, but reading the comment here helps and I know Iâm not alone in these struggles. God Bless all of you!
You are not alone there are many friends that you just have not met yet.
This !!!! đđ„čđđ„čđđ„č
HAVING SEPTIC PUMPED TOMORROW GETTING READY FOR WINTER
CUTTING WOOD. MAKING STACKS
My three liberal sisters are not ready . They think ms. Harris is the stuff. My circle is more like a dotâŠâŠ.and no Ms. P I wonât help them , not after theyâve told anyone who will listen how CRAZY I am because I share the TRUTH and didnât take the jab. Your my circle ms. P. Youâre my encouragement ! And the Father âŠ..He has always got me.
Keep standing firm in your convictions and always listen to your inner voice. I tried to warn everyone about the bioweapon now many are dead or suffering and now they want to know how to fix themselves. Well, how about listening to those who tried to warn them! Almost every conspiracy theory came true. And people still listen to the lies and propaganda. Are they truly braindead? Sad times we arriving in. Glad you stayed away from the poison. Peace be with you.
Amen! The Father & Patara are in the circle!!!!!!
Oh my goodnessâŠwe are on the same path. Tightening my circle, just cut off cable tv and deactivating my social media platforms. God keeps telling me to prepareâŠrely solely on him and get ready. For what? I donât know but Iâm looking at things differently now. Clearing out all unnecessary items in the house, cleaning out the garageâŠitâs just weird but Iâm following Him.
Facts; My circle is only me and JESUS, I will never trust anyone but my KING â€
TRUMP: âThis is so much more important than me or my life. We gotta save this country.â đșđČ
I heard that too, and my heartâŠI feel he really does car3 about the American people and this countryâŠ.he ha to win
đșđžâ€ïžđ€đ
Praying for Trumpâs safety.
â€
My kingdom is not of this world.
I pray every night and prep every day.
It's in God's hands.
Patara, you hit home on this one. I have one sister left, haven't talked to her since 2001 when my mother pasted. She has 4 daughters. I used to help all of them all the time. I owe her youngest daughter, but I have no address, she won't answer my calls, nothing. Any friend I thought were friends, I guess are not. So it's myself and my 3 adult children. We all live together and we are prepers. We have one room full of shelves full of food, totes and boxes full also. And paper products of all kinds all over. And now we're starting on another room. Just canned peaches and tomatoes. Today it's zucchini , carrots and potatoes. We live in a trailer so no place for cold storage, everything in jars or freezer.
I have another son that hasn't spoke to me in about 10 years. I won't be around to help any of them. I'm disabled, 68 yrs old. I have alot to turn over to God. God bless you.
If the grid goes down, youâre better off having shelf-stable foods anyway, good job!
You are truly blessed in your little circle of family.
Much love and prayers to all my fellow Americans!! Prayers going up hang in there!!! â€ïžâ€ïžđđđșđČđșđČđșđČ
Right back to you Sisđ

Thank you for the prayers. Prayers to you and yours!!
You too!
My circle is down to me and maybe a neighbor, my only child only knows me when they need something. My car is broke down and have had health problems just recently. Ive always been independent but recently have asked for a ride to the dr. They were to busy for even that. Been going like this since he got married 10 yrs ago. Ive always been there for them. They only take from me. Having a hard time with this, but am finally accepting it. Im 67 and have no other family to count on. My neighbors have been better to me than they are. Closing that circle as we speak.
We are now realizing that we are elder orphans. New phrase going around as times get harder and older folks who were there for others are now alone.
Unfortunately, no one has showed up! Its just me and my disabled son! Like the words say, people will show you who they are, believe it! I was a giver and a doer for everyone, but I have never gotten it back! It has been very difficult for me to see and accept! But I now know and see the truth! Thank you!! Love you Patara!!
I got my grandson and my daughter she has disabilities... too she is now 27 living independently however I still have to help her... She doesn't really help me with much I do think she would turn on me if she thinks she got someone else I get pushed to the back but when she sees I'm right she comes running back.
@@lisacottrell5924 praying over you, friend that God will provide! Praying for him to bring others into your life who have your best interests and will honestly aide you in whatever you may need - He is able to do what others cannot do- praying over you, friend that a supernatural event will happen in your life and youâll know without a doubt that it is our God working to help you- stay strong and donât be afraid or timid in asking for help or where to go to seek help-
Also combatting this woke mind virus with her is exausting...trying to keep her head on straight. She had befriended a transgirl and they think they are "together" God please help with this.
I was a giver and doer as well, now that Iâm older I found out people donât give back as much if at all so Iâve cut my giving myself away to rebuild myself after my wife died three years ago.
Right there with you.â€
Haven't heard from my son in a month, I usually have to call him. I live separate from my " husband" he got mad at me and won't return my calls.
I have a best friend who I am teaching to garden and can. She's doing awesome. She's it. I have 1 I can count on.
Youâre very fortunate, I have my son. Thatâs it.
Y'all are very blessed. â€ïžđ
†The toughest lesson I have learned in life is not to trust people. I've learned the most friendly engaging types have hidden agendas. I grew up trusting everyone and had no clue the number of liars are out there.
My circle was closed for me. Actually, he did me a favor. Prepping, praying, putting up the harvest. Enjoying my newly closed circle.
Trump and Elon musk just had a 3 hour talk on X and Elon said âHumanity is at a crossroadsâ
Heâs correct.
Amen
So many putting their faith in men. Non believing men, at that, I'm sad to say. :-(
â@@lilacDaisy111exactly! Very hard to watch
Jeremiah 6:16
I feel a calm. Continue to do but financially we are tight and just making it- so its in Gods handsđ
I feel apprehensive. Not a good feeling. What shoe will drop next?
I did something like what you are talking about. I had a group of girl friends that I use to hang out with. Nothing huge, just meet for dinner out or at someone's house, stuff like that. I have to take care of my mom more and more and I couldn't hang with them as much. Whenever they planned something, it was always on a Friday and Saturday, which are days I can't meet. They never accommodated me, but if anyone else couldn't make it, they made sure to change it. They never thought the text messages of them having fun and what they were doing was hurting me. I finally asked to be taken off the group message. I was hoping someone would say, hey don't leave but noone said nothing. Just the one woman who said no problem. It did hurt alot but at least I know how things really are with them.
Yep. Telling people to prep and pray. People look at me like I have two heads
Oh my, I spent last evening walking our property alone while grieving all the hurt I experienced over the last 25 years from giving to so many people. We have been tried in so many ways and have had life changing events take place that defeated us on every level..I try to push the thoughts down but once in a while the grief hits hard..I felt very defeaded yesterday but this video helped me to shake it off and keep going..This may be God's way of preparing me for what is ahead.
My husband died suddenly at home in January. I found out who showed up and who didnt. Some surprises. Better to know.
People don't value friendship anymore. Too many are self-absorbed. I am a party of three............me, myself and I. đ đ€Ł đ
The puppies are getting so big! Prayer is very important but we have to do our part too. My Mom always said, "Dont lean on a shovel & pray for a hole." Very smart WVa Mama â€ïž
Love that!
People really showed their true colors during Covid. Including family. Not in a good way.
You are speaking truth.
I have me. I have no circle to tighten. I moved here 4 years ago. Eliminated those who aren't like minded and supportive. Be thankful for your family and friends that are in your circle. â€ïžđ
Some of the people in my life that I was close to have died since 2018. Not many left.
Bless you for the Bible giveaways and whoever it was that donated, so more Bibles could be sent out. The Bible for me holds the answers I need for life. It warms my heart to know others will have a chance to know our Lord.
Amen
Amen
Be prepared to detach quickly from any one connection. Financially and when it comes to employment, where you live etc... all aspects of your life. Never let yourself be too vulnerable to any one person or connection in life.
My circle is so closed that I am alone. I donât have patience for family who deny the planned-demic, that resvedimir killed my Mom, that the election wasnât stolen, deny chem trails, that donât know communism when it is biting us in the butt. Who deny God, who think everything is just grand. I canât talk to these people about anything except the weather perhaps, and canât even bring up HARP in that convo. đOne time friends are the same way. I canât seem to meet anyone who sees it and can talk about it. I am in the belly of the beast here outside of Chicago, I keep hoping to meet someone like minded but not holding my breath. I got my two baby girl dogs that listen to me talk, now if they just had thumbs. Great protectors, big girls!
Iâm feeling this so much right now Patara. My circle has tightened to my family. Some of my closest friends have fallen away. Itâs hard. Like a slow death. đ
Consider it a pruning of dead wood or crossed branches. Oh it hurts and you wonder why, start a conversation with one of the many who comment.
I tried to help a best friend of many years that really needed help because she was in a bad situation. She no longer talks to me. I'm praying she is better now because of what I did for her.
My friend of over 50 yrs is still my friend and the best friend I have ever had! Always a good person and trustworthy.
My friend of 60 years just died. I am broken with her leaving. She was one that was in my circle. I am happy that you still have your friend.
I can count on one finger how many i can rely on
@@szbyzan yep! Same here
Me too...
Me, myself and I
Reading the comments ....I truly feel compassion for you all...l know that deep hurt and will keep this group in my prayers....may God have mercy for our broken hearts...heear us Lord...thank you Lord!!
We moved states in 2022. Joined a wonderful homeschool community and they have been wonderful. They have prayed for us but also shown up for us.
That's great AwSome.

Pray for me, please, as I have not found a local circle of dependable like-minded people, even at church.
It's that way for many of us. A sign of the times. I've learned to not expect anything from anyone, and I'm usually right. So, I trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. In all my ways, I acknowledge Him, and He will direct my path. Sometimes, there are worse things than being alone. Yet, Jesus never leaves us!
I have a circle among my church friends but we recently moved across the state line and church is an hour away now. If something happened that secluded us to our local area I'd have no one other than my own family... And they don't want to raise meat đą
Theyâre called âfair weather friendsâ and this was a good video that pointed out just how few committed friends that we really have, especially in terms of what is going on right now.
My circle has been closed for almost a year. The ones who poke fun for my preparations will never respect me- so I just stopped including them. Zero respect comes across as âkiddingâ but itâs really disrespectful. Buh bye! My doors will be closed when the floods begin as well. I will help my neighbors but those who are nasty can go find other âKarensâ to hang with.
Exactly
Yep đ
Not yet
Same here. Very tight circle already.
Amen.
My circle is down to my daughter and myself. I came from a family of 10 and my ex-husband's family of 8. There is nobody left. My two best friends have fallen away. 45 years and 20 years, that is the length of the friendships. Nobody wants to do any prepping or thinking. The two friends implied that I should take care of them!!! One of these friends just went to Japan. Sadly, all the people I have known are not safe people. So it is down to my daughter and myself.
Very wise decision.
Smart
Several years ago, I had a crisis. I got through it, but when I did, I looked around to see who was there for me. LOL, out of all my "friends," only 1 was there helping me. I got rid of all of them but the one. I will step up when needed, but discovering that they were not to be found when I needed them was an eye-opener. I have only three people I can depend on Jesus, my one friend, and myself. The rest is fluff. A lot of people will talk the talk but cannot walk the walk.
Those babies are so dang cute. â€â€
I've always had a very small circle of people who I trust. We all need someone, so be careful, but try to find someone you can trust. Being alone in hard times will be really tough.
What you do for one of these, you do for me, says the lord Jesus Christ amen
I don't have a circle. I am 60 almost 61 , 3 days after the election. My only son who lives with me doesn't help. I know he is very young but I am the only one trying to stock up on food. God be with me and everyone here with Patara.
How young is he? 6+ he can carry items, clean, rake leaves etc. I worked at 6+ years old.
Iâm alone in my preps. My husband and family donât believe any things coming or that I need to be prepping.
I know that feeling they think I have lost my mind đ
Keep doing. You are the wise one here.
As Patera said, it's time to stop letting certain untrustworthy people know your viewpoints and anything about your preps.
Please read " The Litle Red Hen"đ
Oh, dear, get ready for a 4 week power outage and a societal collapse, especially before and after the election đą
What a bee-u-ti-full life you guys have there!
đ€ Unfortunately my circle â is wayyyyy smaller than I thought... People really have revealed themselves the last 3.5 years đą
Praying đ but prepping the best i can.
Iâve got grandchildren who have turned on the family.đ Iâve given it all to Jesus đđ»đđ»
Spiritual warfare, Ephesians 6: 10-17
Patera, congratulations on the goat babies. You are right about closing the circle. By nature, I'm a social person. Lately I've been feeling the need to only give energy to like-minded people who are truly loyal to me. My circle is so small now. Thank you for bringing this up. â€
â€
YES, HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO CLOSE THE CIRCLE! I cant keep going with ppl that ARENT loyal! So the last couple of weeks, I've been pulling away...I can't help ppl that wont help themselves...I'll jump in in some emergency but I had a lotta soul searching to do, and I HAD to let some ppl go, it was sad at first, but I have to SEE that I'm doing all the work and ppl take but just are not there if YOU need them...God HAS revealed MUCH! My eyes ARE open! I finished up my summer canning, I still have some dehydrating left that will go into fall...but its time to SEE...
Yeah I donât need math skills to count that low. Thatâs ok. Gods got this.
AMEN!!! â€â€â€
My gosh, this is so timely. So many of us have the same situation. I didn't put in tomatoes due to my health this year and a family member was upset because they were "counting on it". Aren't they in for a surprise.
I had someone say once âI hear you have a gardenâ. I said yes and she said Iâd sure like some tomatoes. Without thinking I said how many do you need? Her reply - âall that you haveâ. She was willing to take all I had and leave me without. Fortunately she was just someone we casually met, just said mine arenât ripe yet and didnât hear from her again. But be careful about calling people who arenât that close to you to check on them. It could open the door for them to think youâre willing to support them.
Letting go of my half-sister after my brother's estate is settled. I thought I was the family glue. Turns out it was my brother. I wish her well.
Personally, I think people come in and out of our lives for a reason. Something is always to be learned from each relationship. Some are brief and some are long term and these are opportunities to learn and grow.
During these current days it seems even more apparent.
My circle is already very small as itâs just Jesus and family and Iâm really ok with that.
People are in Seasons of life. Some a life time, some to teach and then leave.
I have come to realize that I have no one! I have my dog and cats and that is it. Came in alone and am alone. Sad but true. đđ
I have had to cut ties with family, with "friends", even neighbors over the years. I have a couple of local friends who don't really understand the bigger picture but who know there is something wrong in the world. One I don't discuss world or domestic events with at all. I have recently stopped posting much on facebook, as I have tried to get all the information out there on various topics. Now I am just deciding where I am going to move to get out of my hurricane and flood prone area and try to just live in peace in a decent community. But yeah, I am really burned out on maintaining ties with people who really don't understand my homesteading and prepping.who believe what they see on the "news".
I have 17 years ago & have been very selective with inner circle since then but anyone that needs help & God has put them in my path get my help. Having moved from Los Angeles to a small town in ky has been the best path God ever took me on
Great interview. The words common sense appeared about 100 times. Talking about big E on X
Agree
Cool. Hadn't noticed that many times Common Sense was mentioned, but did perk my ears a few times.
From a Common sense kinda Gal to another xo
Much Love, ya'll
Husband has PTSD...and suffered a TBI while in the Army. to say our circle is small is putting it lightly. He was the most trusting person years ago...now, not so much. It has turned me around also, seeing how differently people treated us when they realized maybe we couldnt do anything for them at this point...Im ok with that. We dont rely or depend upon a single human being, its not worth it. We rely on and trust in His word, His promise to us. Reality is, even some family, you best know you can rely on and depend upon your own self...if others show up, great..if not...no bother to me.
đ Oh theyâll show up. When they want something.
I'm 59 yrs old and my Grandmother taught me a lot. So I've canned and preserved for a good 30 yrs. The past 8 yrs I've up my game, putting everything I can in a jar to make shelf stable. I've watched your Channel for the past 4 yrs and love your content. We have 2 families that we can totally trust. And that is probably our small circle. I work a 40hr wk job and he takes care of the farm, then I come home and do what needs to be done around the house and farm that I can do. Thank you for your inspiration.
I don't tell or talk about preparing to other people anymore. I have given them the chance!! I will KEEP PREPARING AND PREPPING TO THE MAX!đ
My circle? Only a few. But JESUS Shows ALL THE TIME FOR MEđąđąđąđąđąđąđąđąđąâ€â€â€â€â€
I have nobody. I got sick and it showed me that I am all alone. My Mother passed away two months ago. I couldnt even get my husband to cut the grass for me. My siblings have been zero help. I was alone with my poor Mom at the end. She lived with me but nobody else came to help and she had four other living children and countless grandchildren and great grandkids. I have withdrew from the world the last four or five years. I have no real friends. I separated myself from the world. I have no problem cutting people out. I have often said it is my super power. The only one that is still here that mistreated me is my husband because the vow keeps me here.
Spot on Petra. I just said this to my husband today. I'm done. I'm done trying to wake people up and educate them. They will have to learn the hard way, as I feel like you do, time is run out for the ones that haven't started or contributed and I am now focusing my energy solely on my very very small circle. I'm sorry for them but not at the same time. It makes me sad that no one took me seriously, but I have not worked this hard daily at what I do for it to ever be taken advantage of, by anyone. I pray god is merciful with them but that is in his hands, not mine.
We can help and warn others, but what they do with their lives is not our job. that's why we must take care of ourselves
I love those little baby goats. Their joy just makes my heart leap. What a beautiful way to start the dayâ„ïž
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!!! My husband and I have tightened out circle like you said. We have three very "woke" relatives
that have been locked out of our circle. Our circle consisted of our 2 adult children and their children, one sister and two of my husband's brother. The others all laugh at us, then the woke group said all the Republicans want a nazi for president. We don not argue, we do what you say--we tighten our circle. We have some food stored and other things. One thing you need to tell your viewers is they need several fire extinquishers. I never thought about that, but this guy was saying there could be riots, with fires and also someone could set your house or land on fire. If there are riots, the fire department will not come or cannot come. Also powered milk and peanut butter. My grandmothers, who are now dead, told me flour was very valuable during the depression. Remember, back then people had canning pantries. We're in for a ride. Tightened the circle!!!!!!
No one is coming to help me. I have been told this, so I look after myself and animals.
