This is absolutely incredible. Gave me chills to see him pull the cross, lean it up. And the nails and the sound. Cant help but cry, and give thanks. He gave his only son, for us. Knowing that this was his end. Glory to God. For he is my King ❤❤❤
🙏 Amen
I don't know how to explain how I feel right now. When he nailed those nails into the cross the tears began to flow, and all I could think was "I'm so sorry, Jesus. I am so sorry that you had to go through this for me. Your word says that if I had been the only one, you would have still suffered and died for me. I'm not worthy of that Lord. So many others have done so much more in this life than I ever will. I'm not worthy. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry it had to be this way". Thank you for sharing this with us, Granger and Amber. It will stick with me for a long time. God bless!
I said the same in my heart Cathy. This was a heart pounding remembrance! All glory and praise to God my SAVIOUR !
Yes, your words summed up my thoughts and made me teary. Just beautiful.
I don’t think it’s wrong, Granger. For all who see it, it’s a reminder. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
I absolutely love how you guys are using your voice your platform to spread the word of Jesus Christ and his love for us all!!
I could see a water trough in front of it and being baptized right there! Man, it brings tears to my eyes!
The hammering sent chills down my spine 😢
My brother built an area near his open pavillion where our entire family, aunts, uncles , cousins, brothers , sisters etc gathered every year for a family reuniion . We all gathered around the cross, took turns speaking from our hearts and remembering all those who have passed. We held hands and prayed. It was so beautiful. I see the cross as a reminder of the sacrifice made for all men. It's a place where everyone devoted to the Lord can pray and give thanks for all "HE'S" done for us. I think this is beautiful Granger. May God bless you and your family.
May God bless y'all's spot. And your family. That's very important and absolutely amazing. May it always be a constant connection for yall
Wow, such an amazing way to have a family reunion, and include our heavenly Father. Thank you for sharing.
I love you in Christ. Hugs.
If just one lost person sees it and comes to salvation, wow! As a Christian, i cry looking at it. Thank you Jesus, the greatest love story.
I cried too! Thanking Jesus for what He's done for us. Doesn't seem enough.
@@catherinerutledge6928 I can't watch movies showing crucifying him, it's gets to me so bad.
Amen
That sound of the hammer to the nails gave me chills also, and brought tears to my eyes. Perfect spot, peaceful.
I can’t help but cry when ever I see a cross like that. Puts things in perspective for me when I do. Makes me stop complaining about my life and think how we are so loved. For God so loved the world. I can’t even imagine a love like that.
So nice to see young people doing this in support of their beliefs and faith! May God Bless You!
I’m glad you have somewhere to do that!
What an amazing reminder you can visually look at every day to remind you what this whole thing is about. I need one in my yard because it is so easy to get distracted. So easy to get distracted.......I love it...it changed my whole day today.
This touches my heart! Tears are flowing down my face! Thank you for sharing this with all of us. God bless you all!! 🙏❤️
The cross is wonderful ♥️🙏♥️🙏 Reminds us that Jesus died for 😮us & we are forgiven & how much he loves us♥️🙏♥️🙏
It’s not wrong because your heart explains it all 🙏🏼♥️ Amen for sharing!
This took my breath away! It’s beautiful and very moving. Your words at the end really moved me, I have tears running down my face. Thank you Jesus for dying for me.
One of the many things I love about you guys is how you always say “if it brings one person to Jesus, then it has meaning” Thank you for being unashamed of Him.
We have one. The High school threw it to the road . My husband brought it home and put it in our side yard. It has flowers planted around it. He puts the purple and white on it at Easter. At Christmas he and my grandson cover it with white lights. I mean cover. It is beautiful and people stop and take pictures of it and with it. If it helps or touches you person. Hallelujah. Love y’all xxooxx
That cross made me cry. It speaks everything without saying a word. Thanks for sharing such a special thing.
I have a cross on my property that isent up yet. I wanted it for the exact purpose. I wanted a peaceful place to go on our farm and pray. At the end of your video I got chills hearing the thunder and seeing the cross. "It is finished " came to mind. Love y'all
Beautiful prayer garden. This to me is no different than wearing a cross necklace or earrings.
I've seen many a crosses in my 58 yrs, but NEVER have I EVER sobbed buckets of tears by one until THIS ONE! Absolutely incredible, moving, stunning. Jesus was a carpenter, and no doubt in my mind was He working side by side with the amazing Carpenter who made this✝️
I'm so touched beyond measure❤
I cried the whole time the cross was being set in the ground. It so moved me. I think it is a beautiful area you have made for peacefulness, prayer, and reflection. I thought it might be a good idea to put a piece of fabric draped over the arms of the cross on Good Friday and remove them at the end of the day on Easter. Not in celebration but in remembrance. Anyone who loves our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ could not possibly find fault with this beautiful jester remembering his love for us and what he did to save us. I look forward to you videoing in this area and talking and teaching about our Lord Jesus. I believe, Granger, this was a very good idea. ♥️
Crying ... what the Savior did for a sinner like me Thank You Jesus!!!
❤❤️❤️Grace n' peace
To y'all @The Smith's
i told my dad a few months ago i wanted to do this on my future property, and look at you granger being an inspiration and also showing your faith and allowing Gods power over you and your family that he created. God bless brother
Your explanation of the way you should look and remember what the cross stands for is a great. Thank you for the respect that you show towards the cost of our salvation.
Granger this is absolutely amazing. We need more families like you in america standing up for the truth I love your family❤❤
Wow, I'm crying too. Not tears of sadness but gratitude. Whew. It does look like the perfect spot. "To rise again."
Amber you are just a wonderful down to earth person. You are also a great mom. Love your videos
Thank you Granger for sharing this with us. It’s a church, with nature as it’s walls. It’s a place to remember what Jesus did and worship Him. Beautifully crafted. God bless you and your family as you walk with Christ. 🙏❤️🙏
Wow! Your vision for that cross turned out spectacular! It was so beautifully and respectfully placed in that spot. Well done both of you.
I can just see Amber sitting on that bench doing her Arise with Amber with the cross over her shoulder. She should do that at least once a month.
I had one on a main highway that was lighted up at night in front of my home and a guy from Jordon was visiting family and he would walk by a couple times a week and always stop and bow for a couple of mintues we talked several times and it was great to speak with him.God Bless you and your family on yalls walk with Jesus.
The cross is Magnificent...a reminder of all the suffering...the pain...that Jesus went through for us...
To have such a beautiful spot on the farm...the three nails...just special ..Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us...
Such a reminder of how very loved we are.
With all the the troubles that you had in your life with your son passing and I think great spot to look at. For you it's a sign that your son is with you in heaven. And it is a sign of relief for you and your family. And you can see it everyday and think how you are showing others that UCare for something in your life and your ministry.
How could this be wrong??!!
It’s beautiful ~ live in Faith 😊
Amazing Grace...Thank you, Jesus. Granger, the second
I saw what he had in his truck, my grateful tears began to flow. I will hold this image and imagine sitting on your bench in solitude. Thank you ever so much, Granger, for sharing. 🌌
That is a perfect spot for Sunday service!
If it brings peace in your heart, than it's okay.
I so agree.
When you put the bench under the tree is when my eyes welled up with tears…remembering our risen Savior, what He went thru for us…consecrate your life & land in remembrance of Him…all He gave for us we give back to Him, glory, honor & praise. ✝️
I got chills when the cross was going up, I winced when he hammered the nails into it, and I cried a little, knowing what it means. I wear a cross that my brother gave me, and I wore it when I got baptized. I wear it in remembrance of my Lord and Savior. I love the cross in what it represents and also so I never forget what He did for me. He saved me, and He loved me that much. No one can ever love us that much. But He did. Yes, I think that cross is going to be such a wonderful thing to have as anyone looks apon it and knows what it represents. Awesome job by the man who built it and then found the nails that were so powerful when he nailed them in. I love where it is, and that day was perfect, including the storm. Awesome video Granger, just awesome. Thank you. This touched me so much. God bless.❤
I think the cross is BEAUTIFUL . It brought up emotions in me and I began to cry. I lost my father 10 years ago and Fathers Day is coming up and I've been sad but I know he's in a much better place. If the cross feels positive in your heart that is all that matters. Jesus already knows why you wanted the cross.
Is it just me or when he was nailing the nails in the wood you fell emotional just from hearing it. I think that’s pretty awesome to have a large cross on your property. It’s a reminder to fight daily for Jesus because most people don’t understand that there is a spiritual battle going on. I pray that this cross gets people asking questions about Jesus. God bless the smith family.🙌❤️😀
All I can say is. Oh my gosh I’m gonna build one for my garden
Wow, now that is a testimony to your faith. As each piece went on it gave me chills and made me cry. It is nice to see how strong peop;les faith can be. It is very peaceful place to have it. God Bless you on your Journey.
Alfred E. Brumley said inm his song 'I'LL MEET YOU IN THE MORNING' we'll trasde thsat old cross for a crown. For now, at this time, it is crudly beautiful, for what it did for me.
Beautiful. We are to lay everything at the foot of the cross, for he carry’s our burdens for us. I love this. Yes a baptism would be beautiful there also. Or a wedding.
Omg. The cross made me cry. Jesus came to take my husband home 5 weeks ago. It's a Beautiful reminder.
What is the difference in idolization and worship? It’s crazy that two things that are polar opposites can be so confusing. The church that I was raised in, assumed that all crucifix’s where a means to idolization. So for years I have struggled to make that separation. I believe the explanation/justification of the cross “yard ornament”. If you view the cross in a place of reverence, and/or an opportunity to reach others, then how can it be wrong? Thank you Granger for your insight.
Beautiful! It brought tears to my eyes!
Love the cross he did an amazing job.
The cross is beautiful! No one has the right to criticise Jesus’s cross! It is there to remind you of His sacrifice and you can have that area as your private space for prayer with your family. God bless you all, lots of love from Athens 🇬🇷 Greece ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
The home is the Domestic Church. The Cross reminds us of His Sacrifice for us. What more perfect a place to reflect on His love than in the Domestic Church that you and Amber have built for your family? Allow the Cross to bring you to prayer. The way you feel this Cross leads you to worship and pray is how many feel with the Crucifix.
There is nothin wrong with it. Its beautiful!. I’m going to tend to ours in the small town of Geneva. I take care and give remembrance to all that have fallen in accidents as well our fallen sheriff. Thank you for helping me through this crazy life. Love y’all!✨💜🙏
Beautifully emotional. I had a cross in my yard that my husband and I built years ago. Wild fires swept through the area and burned the base of the cross. There was just a fragment of the base left and yet that cross still stood. I have a picture of it somewhere. This was an emotional video for me personally as the representation of this cross is so selfless. Beautiful.
I don’t think a “Memorial” of something this important can ever be wrong. It is a reminder …. The cross is empty. But the truth is In it’s fullness because of the sorrowful tragic event. Your expression of its purpose…it is good.
A peaceful place to come talk to God and listen to God
Love the cross I just cried when it was being put up Jesus paid it all !
WHY would it be wrong? Why would you question what’s in your heart. It’s so beautiful.
I found your comments on the symbolism/meaning of the cross verses making it an Idol very insightful. My husband and I many years ago removed Christian symbols like the fish, and like the cross out of our home.
We were just discussing this thought pattern today actually. Talking about how the golden calf was put into the Jews alternative place of worship. How they began to worship the golden calf. Which was the sacrifice (calf sacrificed for their atonement).
So I see your hesitation in placing the cross.
It’s not the atonement we are to worship. It’s the one who provided the atonement, the one who gave his son, the one who gave his life, the Holy spirit that cry’s out for us.
It’s the 3 in one we are to worship not the symbol /Idol of the sacrifice.
Thank you for speaking truth many people miss this understanding!!
So much power and emotion comes from the cross and the blood of Jesus. What a great place for you and your family to be still outside in His presence.
many many messages to come from this spot in the future.
❤
Brought tears as he was putting it up.
To think that our Father went through All that torture for Us..because He loves Us.
I think the way you explained why you have it makes total sense. I get the reservations, and I also understand what it can mean. I like it, although I know personal opinions on such things aren’t really the way to determine right answers.
These are the deep and thoughtful things that lead us into a deeper relationship with Jesus. Thank you for sharing these personal things with us.
It’s amazing how powerful a image of two pieces of wood nailed together can be, thank you for reminding me.
Granger, that's absolutely beautiful and looks so peaceful too! Really enjoyed your video and you and your family have been a blessing. God Bless You! Love y'all!❤️🙏
As lovely as the bench is for sitting, I pictured an amazing alter to kneel & pray.
My greenhouse is my favorite place to pray and worship the Father.
I choose to see the cross as my redemption.
It is beautiful as you & your sweet family!!!!
Blessings, debby
Yes so peaceful! Crying as I write as a Christian. So thankful for what He did for us!
Imagine walking your daughter down the aisle to it and standing there with her in that moment. Chills. Good good times are coming.
Maverick is so big and cute now!! I love the new Arise shirts I can’t wait to order some!
I love the cross, it’s perfect!
It does look very peaceful 😌 ✝️
If nothing more than a reminder of surrender to take up your cross daily and follow Him. Love it.
That cross gave me chills-just an absolute reminder if a sliver of the pain and suffering our Saviour went thru for us! Your friend did a beautiful job on the cross Grainger! ✝️
Its not wrong is faith
I LOVE that cross. It’s awesome. Maverick is getting so big.
A crown of thorns would be a nice touch. And I agree with Granger, a square nail at the base of the cross between the ropes where Jesus’s feet would have been nailed through, would seem appropriate. Just a thought. I love the bench under the tree for reflection; so peaceful!😌
If someone ask about it, it’s your chance to plant that seed. And if you are feeling down, kneel at the cross. So many reasons I can think of for you to have it there. I am a Christian and it makes me feel good inside, makes my heart smile.
12:15 Very Emotional. Tears rolling.
What you have done is honor Christ's sacrifice for us. And like you mentioned, a possible opportunity to witness
I can understand the questioning, since it was just the tool that they used to crucify our savior. You're right if you don't idolize it and just have it as a reminder of what it represents then I can't see any harm in it. To see what our redeemer has done in your life is wonderful!
Granger! It's beautiful, such a great place to remember what our Saviour suffered so that we can be free and able to come into God's presence. ❤
I think its beautiful.. you have it IN THE RIGHT PLACE.I just love it. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
This gives me cold chills I couldn't imagine what Jesus went through
Gives me chills. Wonderful and horrendous at same time. But we wear it, too.We must bow down and be thankful.
If you fill a little jar with some apple cider vinegar and put a paper funnel (just make one from printer paper and tape) set into the jar. The end of the paper should be about an inch above the acv. Set next to compost bin and it will be amazing. It will trap your gnats. Return to your happy place. 🎉 Love to all, Maverick is soo adorable!
We absolutely as a family have watched you stay humble and become part of the homesteading families, sharing your grief and your blessings and now a new chapter in ministry. I myself have asked the same question of the cross as well because it was used exactly as you said. We are believers and I thought I was the only one that was conflicted over the cross. We have them everywhere but then you think about using it to symbolize him it just makes you question if there could have been a better way. God bless, it’s nice to see an open mind in ministry. You got this, love you guys!💕 keep speaking from the heart.💕🙏
Wow..... makes you really think about the absolute torture and agony he endured because our Father loves us THAT much. Granger, this will probably be your favorite study spot. God's peace to you and your family.
The bench needs something. Perhaps something to kneel on so you could use it as prayer altar.
That is a cool cross! Be cool to get wire and hang it between the trees up in the air, especially where the sunrises or sets. Intense area right there, an area when you've needed to take a moment from your day to just breath, this is it.
I think a fun addition to the cross could be some rock pavers beneath it where you could kneel/pray
The cross is amazing and not wrong in any way...a reminder to all of how much Jesus loved us! ✝️
If I ever had the privilege of being in front of that cross, I'd be on my knees probably crying, remembering His sacrifice for me. I think of a cross in a holy sanctuary being like the cup and the bread that we take in communion. I partake of these things in remembrance of Him.
I don't know why but this is making me cry. My favorite song is "Amazing Grace" and I cry every time I hear it. That is what this is doing to me. Wow!
You need to have a replica of an empty tomb made next, a perfect place for prayer, and listening to the Holy Spirit...I love it, made me cry.
This is totally awesome! I agree it is fine if you don’t make it into an idol. It is definitely a very peaceful place. The stone bench is beautiful.
Wow! That's a beautiful cross! I think you put that in the perfect spot and putting the bench by the trees as well. It looks so peaceful.
It makes me think of when we do communion. We do this in remembrance of Him. This is also remembering what HE did for us. It is good for us to think of that amazing, loving, life giving sacrifice. God knows your heart.
The cross is not wrong I have a cross on my property. I had some great friends of mine and my husbands who lost their home to a house fire in November. The next day after their fire, they came out to my house the house owner saw our cross and it was such a blessing to them. You do not know who it is going to inspire.
I think this is incredible. What a beautiful place to remember what our Lord went through for all of us 🙏🏻
Granger, last Sunday I went with siblings to Leavenworth National Cemetery to say goodbye to our oldest brother, who died in April and was buried before we even knew. It wasn't my first visit to a National Cemetery, but the first to Leavenworth. When we rounded the curve and started seeing stones, I was humbled once again, knowing that at one time or another, those soldiers fought for my freedom.
I see your cross in a similar manner, but magnified. Jesus died for not only my freedom, but that of all humankind. The sight of that cross SHOULD humble everyone who encounters it, and it should bring peace to the heart knowing what it signifies.
Love the cross. Will be a great spot for Ambers arise to be taped or to take a few mins to pray.
So truely done Granger, your friend did a beautiful job. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 it brings me to tears...
