You know that song “this is the song that never ends”? Well, let’s change it to “this is the job that never ends” haha. I think you know what I mean. Life. Dishes. Mucus. Whatever it is. Just know, you’re not alone, and we are cheering for you!

While he was showing the ribs, I was thinking of the song that says, "Oh yeah ...... Oh yeah ......." a few times, in the song. (Ferris Bueller). It would have been funny if he included that part of the song while he was showing the ribs. The ribs looked yummy.

Peter it’s not a sin to use paper plates use them. I had to accept that fact a few years ago and the world didn’t stop turning. Love the 3 of you

rae1957tn Your comment made me laugh, because I am thinking...thinking...about moving to paper plates because it is hard for me to keep up with the dishes. Maybe I’ll just go for it!

Peter's "dishes talk" made me cry, because I'm feeling quite defeated today. Thanks for the support and we're supporting you too!

So love your message Peter! Thoughts and prayers Mary that you feel better. Both of you bring such joy to your viewers😊

Those who “Frey together stay together” I thought of that so if you pick this to put on a tshirt I should get one for the thought lol 💝☺️ Love you guys! God is so good!

You are both so wonderful. I don't have cf I have a lot going on. 4 weeks ago my walking was slow but I was walking ,I had a procedure and now my right leg won't work. You both teach me so much about learning to tolerate what ever is happening. It's not giving in it's going with the flow . Defeated absolutely is a valid feeling so long as we don't stay in the depressive state. Love you both xoxo

You've identified exactly why it's so important to laugh, dance when the spirit moves you no matter where you are, and make any time together a date - even if that is a trip to the hardware store (one of our favorites, 😂). Both your and Peter's viewpoint in this blog will resonate with so many of us out here. BTW Peter, you do have a dishwasher. As a matter of fact, you have two. At the end of your arms! Sorry, corny is called for sometimes. Love your sermon channel, Peter! Thanks for all you two do!

Well now you’ve got me sobbing Peter haha. Sitting here waiting in pre-op, watching your vlogs with my Mom. Sometimes It DOES feel like its never-ending, and just when you feel like you are done you have to start back at square one. But hey, all we can do is just keep getting back up and fighting another day. 💜

Thanks Peter for your kind encouraging words!

Mary, I don’t have cystic fibrosis, but I’ve been dealing with a health issue (SIBO) for the past year and a half. I came across your vlogs while on medical leave from work (which ended up with me having to leave work permanently). The point of my comment is that your vlogs have helped me while I’ve been going through my own health issues. Thank you for your vlogs and inadvertently being an emotional support to me. :)

HUGS Mary you are an inspiration!

You've got this!

Thank you guys for sending so much love and support out to all of us even when you are in need of the same. We are behind you all the way and hope things went well for you at the hospital today.

Lights around window is so pretty. Keep on keeping on, Mary!

building things can be a great joy and distraction. we are always working on our fixer upper house that had some severe flooding and foundation issues and really still has heaving and cracking problems. but we put our own personal touch in every single space of this house and painted it bright red with white trim and it is our safe place and we love it. broken and all! my favorite part just happened last week. it is a build in book case that was cut into a wall in the basement with white decorative trim around the edges. It is lovely and functional for our small space. I don't like flowers but when my husband builds it feels like a gift every day!

Peter, I loved your speech at the sink! I felt like as though you were speaking directly to me. I have been struggling with severe anxiety the past few days. Yesterday was particularly bad. I felt such self hatred in my heart. I really felt like God had abandoned me. I am feeling a bit better today, but still find my self in the throws of depression. Please pray for me! Thank you and God bless.

Continued prayers for you, Mary. You are a ROCK STAR and do such a great job with fighting this. Hugs to all.

I am praying for y'all. You're on my heart a lot. Keep on keeping on.

Praying for you Mary 🦋🙏🌸 y’all inspire me so much

Haha, Mary did you say "it's all gravy,baby?" 😂

Thank you for showing the reaity. You two are such an inspiration.

I needed this one today, guys. Thanks.

Peter you are quite the chef! Looks amazing 😀

Hey kidos what about vloging 5 days a week instead of 7 so you each have down time. She needs to recover and so does the care taker. We wont die if you kids take care of yourselves. MARY HAS BEEN BEEN GETTING A BIT WORSE. I am not being mean or dictating. You ultimately know what is best.

That is so true. As soon as I finish one routine, it is time to start over. I call the moments, when I start to feel nothing is happening, my "blue funk." Then I tell myself "if I feel this out of it while doing my routine, I do not want to know how I will feel if I stop." That really keeps me on track. I know I could feel worse from watching others deal with health issues on line and I really, truly do not want that. I. was also told ( when I was hanging on by my nails) just let go. Good advice. I Love you guys! Love and Light!

Yes Peter! Thank you, I love what and how you shared your message, gave me peace to carry on!

Being stuck in the some old thing day after day is something i know about, but a different day is coming and always hope for a change :) ..

I really appreciated this vlog today... more so than usual. I've had a hard day, to say the least. I'm bordering hospital trip and just really feeling like I wanna give up but hearing Peter talk today about finding joy in the hard days and that there's always someone who cares; even if they are two people behind a screen, that I've never met. I, as a part of a whole, am being supported. People living similarly to Mary and I are being supported, if only from afar. Thank you for reminding me that we're not entirely alone, even if it feels like it.

Hi Mary and Peter, Mary, while I cannot begin to imagine what you go through, I just wanted to say that I admire your resilience and faith. Peter is a great source of strength and support. Love you guys!! ❤ The brussel sprouts look delicious, I am a Vegan.. So.. No ribs!! 😊

Dear Peter and Mary, thank you so much for sharing your journey and your faith - you are always in my prayers and watching your videos makes me feel like we are spending time with family. God bless you both.

Always here for you guys! Hope the hospital went well xxxxx

You should do a before and after shot of your working room! It would be so awesome to see the difference with all of the new shelves and desks you are putting in there!!!

As always, sending you love from Chicago! It’s pretty cold and snowy right now. ♥️

Long time subscriber, first time commenting! The message in today’s vlog really resonated with me. I have several chronic conditions, including a chronic pain condition. Managing my health certainly feels like it takes up all of my spare time, and lately has been leaving me feeling defeated. Thank you for reminding me I’m not alone.

We are all really cheering for you! We love you, Mary and Peter!!!

Amen Peter. I am very much older than you and Mary... you could be my children(!!!), yet I learn so much from you. I love your sermons!

I am so proud of how you both get up everyday and tackle it together! Keep fighting Mary! Peace & Love

Thankyou for your words Peter, I'll watch your last sermon tomorrow.

Cheering for you both!!

You can do it you have gotten this far with everything. Keep on kicking no matter what it is. ❤

Mary we have cerebral palsy me and my wife Judy liked your blog about wheelchair and service dogs we think your a rock star

I was watching some of your earlier vlogs and it hit me, that I think you guys vlogging actually helps both of you as much as you reaching out to help others. Peter, your ministry is your outlet as a caregiver as wellmas your calling. My husband, now that he has retired, volunteers twice a week at Reef HQ, with is the educational centre in Townsville Queensland Australia for the Great Barrier Reef Authority. It gets him out of the house and mixing with everyday people from all walks of life and from around the world. It helps to balance out his life. While on the other hand, when I am having a good day, I like to visit my mother, who is in a Nursing Home. I think as a couple dealing with chronic conditions, having outside interests helps with your relationship. I rarely go to the shops and yesterday my husband took me. I need to use a mobility scooter these days for any distance walking and I can't get it in and out of the car by myself. I really don't like using my wheelchair as it doesn't give me a feeling of independence as the scooter does. It felt so good to be out in mainstream, everyday, normal life. Which I haven't done for about two months now. Just a thought after seeing your shopping.

I'm rooting 4 you Mary!!

Depression (and school) have been kicking my ass lately. I needed this video, so thank you!

Honey, you are so not alone! You both have touched my heart and are always in my prayers ❤️ Elizabeth

I hear you. It can be overwhelming at times as a caretaker as well 💕

You are always rooting for us❣and I am always rooting for you❣you all are in my nightly prayers❤💫❤

Mary, and Peter you both are truly an inspiration! Mary, I hope you are feeling better soon. I love watching you both, God bless you in all you do!

Thank you for your words of hope and faith, Peter...I have been suffering with chronic illness and unrelenting pain since 1981....sometimes I am defeated and I feel despair, but you are SO right...it can be very hard to find JOY in everyday life, but if I dig deep enough, I ALWAYS am able to find a morsel or two to be happy about or grateful for.. I keep you both in my thought and prayers....you are very special people ...

You guys are such an inspiration to me!! Love your videos!

Yes!!!!! Thank you both for putting words to my emotions! It's all so true.

Oh Mary, I'll keep you in my prayers today! I hope you feel better. 🖤

I bought ribs today too! I got 1kg with a bbq plum marinade & 1kg plain that I will marinade myself. Your ribs look absolutely devine. Please tell me what you put on or marinated them in please. I hate those days when things just don’t go right, especially when you struggle so badly with processing things in your brain when it doesn’t want t work & then you get treated horribly by sales people! We don’t choose to be like this! Hugs from Australia & thank you for your kind words today.

Thank you Peter, I needed to be reminded of Gods plan for me. Rest in Him.

I was feeling this this morning too! I'm really thankful that I get to share my breakfast time with you watching the vlog as it helps me get through the first hurtle of the day and distracts me from how tired and crumby I might be feeling that morning. I don't have CF but I have other health issues and most mornings I wake up tired and often feeling a bit blah regardless of what I do but I know that I just have to push through and I'll feel much better once I've had some breakfast and a chance to wake up a bit. Thanks Frey Life for being a daily encouragement! Keep going Mary you can do it! x

Literally your words today made me cry Peter. I'm rooting for you guys always too. Sending love ❤️❤️❤️

Always cheering for you! You fight an uphill battle everyday but you are so graceful in your fight. Praying for you and Peter and some improvements. P.s. I love my "don't forget to laugh everyday" wall decal!

Haha! When my daughter and I sing that song we use the word "stuff" instead of "song!" We are both spoonies of the fibromyalgia, severe allergic asthma, PCOS, amongst other stuff, kind. The Frey Family have become such a lovely break in my morning. Thanks with all my heart for sharing your lives with us. Know that we are rooting and praying for all of you, too! :)

I'm praying for you!

U just LOVE YOU two! Awesome analogy with the dirty dishes! I know that THE FREY LIFE has helped me through every day! I love that you two never lose your senses of humor! My husband and I are the same way! Nobody makes me laugh like my husband! 😻

Obviously, I look forward to seeing your vlogs every single day. but this one especially really got to me. We are in a blizzard right now and it is making my illnesses quite angry lol. But I was feeling really awful, and seeing you guys go through your struggles as well makes me feel not as alone. I wish you weren't struggling of course but thank you so so much.

It is got to be so very hard to go through all of that knowing that over time it is only going to get worse. It is too bad you have to get worse in order to even be eligible for the chance of the temporary fix of a lung transplant. Your strength and fait constantly amaze me and it makes me feel really bad when I complain about my chronic pain.

Love you guys! ❤️

Totally get this. My boyfriend and I are heavily involved in ministry and I have a chronic illness. I haven’t been able to be out of my house in 3 weeks. You guys help me to really see the battle I am fighting is worth fighting, and that my story can help others. You guys are inspiring. Rooting for you and praying for you.

well said Peter . . . absolutely the lesson I'm learning through chronic illness . . . joy can be found in my focus on Christ . . . joy comes not from circumstances, but from our focus

You’ve been a great strong husband and wife keep it up!!!!

OOOOO, dinner looked so good. Chef Peter at work! Mary, I am praying for you dear. So sorry for your roller coaster ride in this life. One thing I always keep in the back of my mind is this ain't forever. I am looking for to a new body with no pain. I don't even know what that is like. I have forgotten, but our new bodies will be perfect. Can you even imagine that. Mind boggled! Love you all.

It sounds draining. I hate that you have to go through all that Mary. I love you guys so much. 💜💚💛💙

I'm sooo early! Snow day for me here in northern VT! I hope you guys enjoyed your day off yesterday! You guys deserve it and earned it with all of your hard work and determination especially with the vlog! Blessings from the 802! Oh! And give Ollie an extra snuggle for me!

Im not a believer, I wish I could. But I love that "when god takes the scenic road". Also, I love the Ikea Ivar shelving system (swede here) I named mu bunny after them, his brother is called Billy, after the other very popular shelving system from Ikea. Billy and Ivar. :)

That breakfast looks AMAZING!!!

Kinda not doing great today and you guys make me happy. All parts of your life make me happy, not that you are having a hard time just that you show both sides and that we all go through that. It makes me feel like it’s not just me if you know what I mean. Words are hard, hope that makes sense. I hope you feel better. Love you guys!

Love you guys!

We are walking with you too! Xx

Sending prayers and love to you guys

Like your IKEA haul and life's perspective!

Mary, I do not personally know anyone with CF, but just watching you I see how difficult it is. I’m sure some days are better then others and I just want you to know how awesome you are. Watching you push through every day with CF is truly inspirational. Peter is a great guy too, y’all are an amazing couple. God Bless ❤️ oh and let’s not forget Mr. Ollie! He’s a cutie pie!

Like Peter said we are cheering for you and you're more than welcome!

I feel the same way with my migraine headaches, it’s an unrevolving circle, wake up with a migraine, have a migraine all day, go to bed with a migraine, the story of my life! Along with a lot of other symptoms 😝

It's not even almost the same thing, but this is exactly how I feel at work. I work in the clothing department at a wholesale store, and I will literally spend an entire 5 or 6 hour shift folding and straightening everything, and when I leave, you can't even tell it's been touched because people come behind and remake the mess the second you walk away.

Thank you for all the encouragement you give me everyday. Mary you are such an inspiration and I love you and Peter. God Bless You both !!!!! xoxox

Omg y’all were singing “Sweet Home Alabama”! Every Alabamian knows that song! I’m from Alabama! :)

My experience is nothing to the level of what you guys face but I can certainly relate to feeling defeated by the sameness each day and still seeing little progress. I am recovering from a rotator cuff repair surgery and it hasn't gone smoothly. This has renewed my perspective again and reminded me to look to the privilege that this is something I can recover from and to look to Jesus for my strength. Thanks for sharing your lives and faith.
