For the past few weeks I have had a burden on my shoulders. This week it got so bad I couldn’t even sit still or sleep. I had to get up out of bed and just cry out to God , I couldn’t even utter the words , but He understands our tears. I got so overwhelmed with a feeling of unrest and just an overall feeling of uneasiness. But after I prayed and cried out to God I slept like a baby. Thank you for this particular fireside chat.

Trails on Roan Mountain are spectacular. With rhododendrons blooming, you can walk thru tunnels of flowers and come out at an overview of a distant lake. One of our family vacation BEST MEMORIES.
I just love your fireside talks this one tonight especially U2 can make anything feel so much better after listening to you. I have the worry of having cancer they are running test on me now and so far they can’t find anything but they are still running lots of test, I am a believer of God and a child of God and I believe in prayer, but like you said in your fireside talk, we carry that fear knowing in our heart and all we have to do is turn it over to God and he will carry that fear for us, and in the end, he will heal us and make everything better but sometimes I just can’t let it go and I just make myself sick with worry of each test comes back with results. Thank you so much Mike and Karen you make things so much better when I listen to you talk and I love your videos I love the places you go, and I love the things that you show us, U2 are just like a gift from God please pray for me I have a test coming up August 28 I don’t know why they wait so late but I’ve been going through this since 1 May. Please pray for me and I always pray for you. Safe travels when you go on these little camping trips to show us and share with us.❤

Oh my gosh! O love Moss Family TV. That little Manny is adorable.
Yes, worry is troublesome at times. I try not to worry but try to rely and trust the LORD in everything. My main "concern" is where this world is headed and all "the lost" in this world, especially those who we know and are close to. Time is short and many don't really know Jesus and His sacrifice for our sins. I appreciate your videos that are a temporary relief from all the above. Thank you for that. Yes, we had milk with every meal that and mashed potatoes if it wasn't spaghetti night 🙂. God bless you both and your family ❤️ Thanks for allowing me to share ❤

I would say prayer fir God to send His Angels to surround them then ask for a hedge if orotection and finally that the Holy Spirit would guide them in their decisions. Then I would say," Lord you gave them to me and on the day they were born I promised to teach them and give them back to you. I did and so they are yours now ....I am going to sleep.❤

I agree with Karen. I don't like syrup on my meat and eggs. As far as worry goes I found that once quit messing things up for myself there was a lot less to worry about. Most times you just have to let go and let God take care of it and do your best to not worry. Nobody is perfect though.

My grandmother lived in Hampton, TN on a main road and there was a Roan Mountain sign nearby. They redid the road and I don’t know where her house used to be. I never liked milk and never drank it growing up. I would gag if I tried to drink it. But I love chocolate milk.

We had instant iced tea every night at dinner, and to this day, sweet tea is my favorite drink, but I make my own, and don't like it with lemon. That campground is less than an hour from my home. We usually camp on the lower level, but last year, I camped in that exact spot that you had. I really liked it, and it was good to be right across from the bathroom.

I am in grief counseling right now. Pray for me to heal. Karen I did have milk for lunch and dinner. Harold and I have been to Roan Mountain twice. One time just Harold and I and for Thanksgiving with the kids and my Momma. Both times we stayed in one of the cabins there. We had a great time both trips.
