Not Slowing Down! Hay, Beans & Real Talk With the Farmer

Ойын-сауық

This one is all over the place, but so are we. 😅 If you like hearing Lawrence talk, you better watch this one! He's full of it (lol). Some real talk around the table, including around finances. Also, my take on a week at youth camp. If you make it through to the end, you're my people. 🫶 We appreciate you being here! Until next time, Farm Hard Live Well, The Bernards

    How beautiful you are. I went to camp with my 3 children for years, and was going to camp as young as 10. (84 now). God is good. Lawrence, please take care of yourself. You are a treasure that cannot be replaced.❤

    The best way to know when it’s gonna rain is watch your cattle… if they all lay down in your pasture that’s a good sign… and if they bunch up in a corner of your pasture it’s another sign as well.

    My two boys did church summer camps and they came back with the best stories. They loved it all and I loved how God worked in them. They are now in their 40's and those experiences at camp have helped them through some tough times in their latter years. It's so worth it to send them and I'm glad you got to go see it all happen. That age group , and you are right, can really teach you a lot. I hope you got the rain I saw on radar headed your way yesterday. And it's supposed to rain tomorrow. I want to see your seeds and seedlings grow!!! Hugs my NC sister... I'm so proud of you.

    Another wonderful video, Meredith, as they always are. My favorite part was your wrap up talking about camp. I devoted a large portion of my life to working with kids and I knew exactly the feelings you were trying to relate. Working with kids is not for everyone. Takes a lot of patience and love but the blessings returned are something special; something you cannot obtain anywhere else. God bless you my friend and God bless your ministry. You’re making a much greater difference than you know. 🥰🙏🏼❤️

    The last few videos have left me with a heaviness in my soul, and I have to ask you a personal question. Is Lawrence a born-again believer? With the challenges y'all have had, I can sense the anxiety and lack of God's peace, strength, and joy. I maybe wrong. I'm concerned, especially if things don't ease up. I hope and pray that our Lord's Hand moves in your lives. I'm relieved by your experience at the camp and time with the kids! I sense you are renewed and grateful! 💖🌞👑✝️😃

I’m thankful for my health that the good Lord gives me every day so I’m able to work every day. I hope you and your family keep making the videos. I watch them religiously. You guys are so down to earth and I like it when Lawrence tells his old time stories it brings back memories. God bless your family.

    I live in and was born in Wise, Va. 74 years ago. It is a great small town in the Appalachian mountains. I suspect the camp in Wise is Camp Bethel which is about 5 minutes from my house. Camp Bethel has been operating as long as I can remember. In November 2007 I was baptized at Camp Bethel lake and we had to break ice in order to conduct the baptism. I can’t believe that you and the kiddos are going to be in my hometown.
