I am subscribed to a TON of channels. They are all different types of channels.. but I can 100% honestly say that your channel is the only one that I watch every single day. There is no "clickbait" or exaggerations. It's simply your lives and personalities that I love so much! I hope you never have to quit your vlogging. I will definitely feel like I've lost family if that ever happens. 💜
I watched a RUclipsr today talking about daily vlogs and people only showing through good bits and I said what I liked about your channel was that it's honest and real
Y'all have such a big impact on my life with CF right now I am going thru rib difficulties so I'm having trouble breathing but y'all make me smile every time y'all upload
What makes me subscribe and watch over and over even though sometimes it's hard to watch is because life has been difficult and watching Mary walk her walk while keeping faith and expressing joy, convicts me about my own attitude at times. It actually does make me a better person for watching and there are so few things that I can say that about. You can feel proud of what you're doing and know that you are storing up costly stones in heaven. Peter will know exactly what I mean by that. Love you guys.
Oh Mary and Peter, my heart breaks with yours. I am in a similar situation with a very dear friend and I am absolutely heartsick. I want (somewhat selfishly) more than anything for her to keep fighting and to come through this, but at the same time I take so much peace and comfort knowing that either way she is with the Lord and finding comfort in him. She isn't always conscious, but when she is she tells me she has seen heaven and Jesus came and took her hand and spoke comforting words to her. There are no words to describe the mixture of pain and immense peace I feel to hear those words. Life is messy. Love is messy. But it is real.
I don't usually comment on videos because I don't have anything interesting to say but I would just like to say thank you. You two give me so much hope and encouragement. I was raised a Christian and still consider myself a Christian but don't always make it to church. I also don't feel very supported at church, I feel like kind of an outsider (I wear lots of makeup and have piercings/coloured hair. I'm also taller than everyone my age and so I stand out). But watching your videos everyday gives me a chance to think about Jesus and just thank him during your videos. I feel included in this community even though we have never met and probably will never meet each other. Thank you for all the encouragement and support that you send all the way to Australia to a girl you don't know. Thank you for encouraging me in Christ through a simple video. God bless xx
That Australian Girl I wish I lived close to you. We could pray together and just have some moral support. I suppose we still can with technology what it is these days. I will pray for you regardless and I am here to listen should you need an ear.
Lee Sanchez nightcrew I am sitting here, reading posts through my tears. I am alone as well. Every day I pray for God to end my suffering. I am so sorry for whatever you are going through. There is too much suffering in this life. Too many people suffering. Too many people alone. You'd think space is at a premium up there. Why else is He not calling for me yet? I will pray for you to have strength and courage in the storm. God bless.
Oh Mary! You are such an amazing friend to have. I cried and my bf asked why so I told him. He saw "Aww no fairs here, hiss, they made you cry!" It made me laugh. I always watch you guys and you are the most real people I have seen and I want to thank you for sharing your journey with us. As you may know I have many chronic pain and it comes with many mental illnesses and complications. I am always, always having to book appointments and go get good work, take care of my pain, meds, blood glucose, diet and book rides to my appointments. It's a full time job and very taxing. I made two appointments today for a ride and to get bloodworm done and I see my doctor in two weeks and we will discuss my need for pain management and more tests for rheumatoid arthritis, MRIs etc... I totally get what you meant when you spoke about how much it takes to just live all the required, beautiful, sad, happy times! 😍😁 Love you guys!
I'm so thankful that you're so open and sincere with your us. This channel is a platform for people to connect and support each other and I got much needed support from The Frey life and the subscribers. Thank you!
You two are so inspirational and loving. I find myself checking my phone every day waiting for a new upload because your positivity keeps me going. The world needs more people like you two. You dont know me, but just know that there are a ton of people like me out there looking up to you two for hope and motivation. Do what you think you can't do!
I originally subscribed to you and stay subscribed to you because of the truth, faith and peace in the words you share with us. I don't have CF and neither does anyone in my immediate circle of friends/family, but as you said, there are aspects of your lives that really resonate with me and put my struggles into perspective. I'm an English teacher from the UK and I spend my days trying to teach 11-18 year olds not just about English but about how to enjoy learning and life itself. You two are great teachers of joy; if I can share with my students even a fraction of the message that you two share with us in these 'glimpses' of your lives then I feel like I will be doing a good job.

I appreciate your vulnerability and realness. what a great platform for Christ. life and the gospel are both so tragic yet beautiful. Thank you for the daily encouragement and laughs.
Thank you Mary & Peter for the privilege of spending time with you in your day to day life. My Mother-in-law used to say regardless of circumstances "It's is well, All will be well".
About 2 1/2 years ago when I was starting to forget how to laugh every day and was losing my joy in the Lord I came across your Vlog. In that time you have motivated me to find a new church, been an example of how to strengthen and incorporate my faith in all that I do, I started to exercise more and now not only have the strength but also the courage to wander from my wheelchair now and I pay less attention to my "numbers" and more attention to finding the Lord's love everywhere. I know I am not the only one who has had this experience; my faith and resolve is strengthened by all the subscriber's comments, encouragement and prayers for one another. You built a small city around love, faith and honesty - I am so glad you go beyond chocolate shop experiences. Love from Canada to the Freys and their incredible followers.
oh my goodness.. I haven't been able to watch all of yalls videos everyday like I usually do and that is because on 2-15-17 the day of this video I was with my grandaddy as he passed away. He had been struggling and in pain for years and it was so weird how y'all are going through what I did and gave the encouraging words y'all shared today when I went through loss today. Please just pray for my family and I. My grandaddy not alone was a grandfather to be but a father and by the end we joked around with everyone how I was his "mother" and he was my "son." so thank y'all so much for all of the encouraging words. y'all are such blessings
Mary and Peter, I am so thankful for you guys. Totally not crying haha You its have profoundly impacted my life and I am SOO thankful for you guys! You feel like cherished friends to me. Big hugs. Have to share a wonderful recent life happening... I've made a bunch of friends at my church, and my they have blessed me! They've given me rides to church, prayed for me, supported me, encouraged me, and displayed such very genuine Christ-like love to me and my family. I am SO thankful for them!!! ❤️❤️❤️
It doesn't happen often, but I LOVE when Mary gets embarrassed or exasperated and says, "Peter!". That's a wife loving her husband and knowing what he said was true, but probably an over-share.... fantastic. You two rock!
Someone had said something below and I'm the opposite I am Subscribe to very little channels, like you can count on your fingers. I love you guys so much that I made you part of my subscription and want to watch you everyday. You really lighten my life. Love you guys so much.
I watch this channel because it truly resonates with me. I have several chronic illnesses and I find that what Mary says about chronic illness to be completely and utterly truthful and it has helped me to become a lot more positive about my situation.
I agree! You both are such an inspiration to me. I can't even begin to tell you. I am walking through some health issues and I am using your mantra "Do what you think you can't do" it's getting me through a uncomfortable test next Wednesday. I prayer for you and Peter regarding your MD visit tomorrow. By the way.... I am 64 years young and have never in my lifetime felt comfort from strangers like I have felt from both of you. You both are in my prayers daily and I cry along with you during your hard times . God bless both of you! What a gift
Hugs Ms. Mary. Watching someone move from life to life is not easy because we as humans want to keep our people with us. I just want to encourage you that it is a move from life to LIFE! Count it all joy that we know what the next life holds. I pray for you daily. God Bless you.
Mary, I find it incredible how you are able to find it in yourself to lift others out of their hard times and sorrows when you are going through so much yourself. You are one of the most wise and compassionate people i've ever seen. You never fail to put a smile on my face and put hope in my heart every day and I really appreciate that.
I love watching your blog and no, life can be very tough but in the same breath, it can be very beautiful. Mary, your strength and positive attitude is so encouraging. Peter, your support and understanding of your beautiful wife, is so heartwarming. The love that the 2 of your share is wonderful.......:)
Thank you for helping our family open up a dialogue about being an organ donor! While I know that is not ultimately your end goal it is still a very good way to introduce my children to the idea of helping others with such a gift. We love that your journey is inspiring our journey to take new roads!
I am new to your channel and I absolutely love you both! My daughter was born with a rare liver disease and had her liver transplant and doing great with it. Im glad you share these videos to inspire us to keep going during hard times. Keep doing what your doing and keep on laughing everyday!!
This is your MINISTRY, guys! And thank you for sharing your lives with us. You really do help people who are going through the messy and the raw, and I appreciate it and love you for it. I thank God for you, and may He continue to bless you and allow you to continue this ministry for many years to come!
I was just diagnosed with pertussis and I used to admire you but I have 100x more respect and admiration for you because of experience only a small portion of your struggle. Thank you
Mary and Peter, Your message today could not have come at a better time. We have gotten some bad news today. I really needed to hear your words. So thank you.
Mary you're attitude is so amazing, I am about to leave for 2-3 months to treat a mental condition and being able to watch you be so hopeful about life and all it's messyness, made me cry tears of hope, that I can beat this. Thank you for that priceless gift.
You both are such a Blessing to many. You are where you are meant to be. God Bless, and I pray you have a better day tomorrow Mary. praying for your friend ❤
It's so heartwarming to see youtubers being so real and showing the bits of life that maybe not everyone is willing to share because they want to seem perfect. Watching you guys has taught me so much about being grateful of all the wonderful blessings I have in my life. Thank you for that, you two are very inspiring.
thank you for giving the spiritual perspective of life. your type of message is what helps us as christians live with hope about the hard parts of life. continue to spread the good news of Christ
I just want to say thank you for being a blessing to so many!! I feel I'm blessed because I'm able to watch you everyday. You inspire me to go on. Life is hard, but God is good💗💗
watching your vlogs gives me a lot of hope and faith! my family is certainly not Christian, and I feel like I could never talk about god to them. I however truly believe in jesus and read the Bible when I can, as well as praying whole heartedly in my difficult times. when I'm older, I will certainly try to delve into a Christian community and join a church, but unfortunately it's not possible for me atm. I have a Christian friend, but apart from her you guys are the only people who I hear speaking about faith, and it makes me feel very happy. there's just something about believing in Jesus and God that makes me feel so warm and happy inside xx wow that was a long ramble!
Mary, you can always use masking tape to secure the edges of your watercolor paper to a piece of wood or a drawing board while you paint and then remove it once it dries. That prevents it from curling, but also leaves a crisp boarder around your artwork! :)
I was going to mention this too, but maybe additional likes will get it seen. They sell the boards at wal-mart and art/craft stores. They're like giant clip boards for artists. Blue painters tape also helps and is less like to take paper with it. @thefreylife
Hi Mary, Peter ... And of course Ollie! ... I have been watching your vlogs for awhile but have not commented until now. I just wanted to let you both know how much you inspire me every day. I have nerve damage in my leg which causes me severe pain and sometimes i lose the use of it, and some days it is a struggle to put on a brave face... I am amazed at how you both are able to smile and laugh every day!... Mary, you are so very strong and brave, and Peter, you are so gracious and caring to support Mary every day ( and night)... I thank God that you both have been able to spread your love and faith to all of us... I am grateful and blessed to know you! ... Thank you for sharing so many moments, ( even the difficult ones ) with all of us.
One word to sum up why I watch your channel is INSPIRATIONAL. You truly inspire people to do their best & be the best that they can. I love your motto, Do what you think you can't do. Blessings from Kentucky
I have watched your channel for a while now and I LOVE IT! Today's message though.... WOW! It spoke to me. I'm going through some things right now. I feel so alone. Other than my husband who is amazing and supportive knows... not another soul and its painful. I have watched this twice because it just helped me. I love you both! Thank you for sharing your lives and thank you for being such awesome people. If you or anyone reads this please send a prayer my way. I would appreciate it SO much! ❤
I'm am so sorry Mary. I have to say finding your channel was one of the best things to ever happen to me. You offer so much hope and joy and watching your videos always gives me a little more joy everyday.So THANK YOU.
And I just have to add that I watch because seeing you so brave everyday helped me to have more courage and hope in my every day struggle. Being sick is new for me and I am still trying to adjust but you both have actually helped me so much.
I thank God for leading me here, to you. You are precious. You make the words of the Lord come alive in real life. You center me. And make me give thanks for every day. Every time we open our eyes in the morning and begin the day ahead with love and compassion, it is a good day. Bless your friend and may she have peace in her heart. Journey well,and God speed sweet soul. ✨
When I see a new video from you guys...I watch. This channel is so uplifting. Seeing both of you and the hope and happiness you both have in spite of the circumstances....it gives me courage to continue fighting too. Thank you for everything you share.
I haven't been subscribed for too long but the short time that I've gotten to know the both of you gives me so much happiness. Everyday is a struggle but I always look forward to yalls vlogs. May the Lord continue to bless the both of you🙏🏼❤️
I've subscribed to the Frey life because I have diagnosed psychosis, bipolar disorder, and ptsd. I battle these things everyday and even though my illness is completely different than Mary's I relate to having the good and bad days and the frustration. I relate to medicine not working and going to doctor appointments every week. It's so nice to be able to relate to someone and have the feelings you feel be said by someone! Thank you guys for all you do. I feel like you are good friends since watching you for 1 year now. Thank you!
Mary so sorry about your friend.You did a great water color for your friend the verse was beautiful.Even though you don't feel all you are so positive.Peter is a great husband .Ollie is a very sweet dog loving his life with you both.God bless you all.Margaret from Florida.😀🎋
I subscribed for your realism. Life has been a nightmare for me the last 2 years, and now my aunt is starting a cancer battle. Thank you everyone who's been praying for her! I feel like my soul was ripped out 2 years ago, and just when I started feeling almost okay, I got hit again. That's when I think of you guys. My disability will never leave me, Mary will always have CF, and even if they aren't even almost the same thing, in a way we understand each other.
I live with chronic illness and I appreciate that you are showing the reality of it. It's hard to explain to others the impact of it unless they see it.
Mary, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I wish I could send hugs and love so much more. My mother is losing her battle with ovarian cancer and it hurts me but sometimes I sit and wonder if it will be better when she's not in pain anymore? When she's not spending long hours at chemo trying to just buy time, when she's not crying because it hurts so bad that no medication can take the pain away, or when she lays there and worries about my brother and I - even though we are 26 and 31. Yet, I never want to let her go. My father passed away just under 2 years ago and it's so scary to lose both of my parents so soon but I also can't stand hearing or seeing her in pain. I have been trying to find the diagnosis to my own disorder and they're so highly suspicious of neuromyelitis Optica - recurring, which means possible paralysis, and permanent loss of vision and I get so scared. I can't tell my mother. I cry, wondering what will happen if that test is positive, but you two, or, three, show me that there's still ways to live and it's okay to cry. This community has always been beautiful. I'm sending all of the love I can. I hope today was helpful for you. I hope you're all doing well. I thank you so much for helping and sharing and guiding us. Lots of love.
Lindsay Song I will pray for your mom and for you. I know how hard it is to desperately want to share your own tragedy with your mom but not being able to. I pray you and your brother are close so you have family to lean on in such a terrifying time in your life. God bless.
Thank you everyone. I'm sorry Mary, Peter, and Oliver for making such a post. Fortunately my brother and I will always have each other, and I'm blessed to have a significant other that has helped me when I was blind once, and sat down with me to reassure me that he's with me no matter what. I shouldn't complain, I am blessed, and I was blessed to have parents who were so amazing that they touched my life forever and I had gotten to grow up with them. And I am blessed to have this community thanks to the Frey family, all of you. I hope that I can spread as much love as you all give me. Thank you so much!
I found your channel through Slice of Lyme, they are nice people! (I also have chronic Lyme and co-infections). I like how you bring so many people together with such a positive Godly message thru the difficulties!
i really needed that reassurance that i wasnt alone. Been going through a very difficult time, and have been feeling a void with God lately... I've just asked Him why so many times, because i don't understand how this situation was seen for my family. Everyone else has gone astray, and we literally only have eachother. Its hard sometines and we lose sight of the end being a bigger picture, but i try to not veer too far when i feel the way i do. just thank you Mary and Peter for the reassurance. it really lifted my spirits
I wish I had the faith and peace that you guys have. You are so positive amidst all the hard things you're dealing with. Im sitting here watching this crying - because things aren't great for me right now - and I am so fearful of losing my mother who isn't doing well - and seeing this video today , touched me so much. I wish I knew how to understand and have the faith you have grown up with, so that I could feel some sort of peace in all this. But I wanted you to know how much watching your videos touch me. Thank you for sharing your life and positivity with the world. You are truly so inspirational.
Marion. Thank you for sharing your stories and sharing the good days in the bed as I continue to struggle with my disability and my abilities knowing that I have to have another surgery in the near future keeps me going to know that you go through your struggles that everybody goes through their struggles but we all come out of it stronger and better people
you know, I'm an agnostic atheist and I just love watching you guys. your souls are beautiful and I'm from northbridge ma so it's nice to see people from home 💕
As you were saying Mary, the Frey life family is a dream come true of a dream you never knew you had. Im so happy to be a part of this amazing group of people.
I've been watching this channel since just before Christmas, and since that time my mental health has gone from bad to worse, meaning I have had to completely put my life on hold just to survive. But watching you every evening (I live in the U.K. :) ) getting through life's challenges really helps. Sometimes it's the only point of a day I look forward to. I've only just got a RUclips account so wanted my first message to be thanking you. So thank you for putting your real life out there for others to take strength and joy from x And good luck at the doctor's tomorrow!
I am very thankful I found the Frey Life channel. I've had a really difficult past year & it helps to know that I'm not alone. I don't have CF but I have other health issues (I do consider myself a "spoonie") and some days it's a struggle to get out of bed. I do try to do what I can though & "do what you think you can't do" is definitely my new mantra!
omg guys i dont even know what to say. its for viedos like this that i love u so much. im really going through quite some stuff right now, and sometimes its just good to hear thar im not alone, that everyones lifes at least a bit messy. keep choosing joy! and just a big thank you, just for the encouraging words u guys so often have.
I'm oxygen dependent because of CoPD. If I am able to connect with people with issues that hold them to limits. I enjoy your vlogs because they encourage me to continue mine and stay positive. Happy Hello
Thankful for you guys! I am so sorry to hear about your friend. May god be with them every step. You are in my prayers. 🙏🤗 Happy Belated Valentines to you both. 💕
My heart goes out to you and yôur friends family, we are never prepared to lose a loved one (my tears flowed too). I have to say I am no longer upset or ashamed of the messy äreas in our house since you and another vlogger showed you both have messy too, it's a work in progress. Sending love to Mary, Peter, Oli, your followers and viewers.
I connected with you guys today. I watch you often. I have challenges with mental illness and it is great to see your guys smiling faces even when things are difficult!!
I'm so sorry Mary! but I'm so glad that you can share your life's and help others. Im 13 and have cf and its so nice to know I'm not the only ones who has rough days! thank you for sharing your journey with the world!

Raelynn Lee praying for easier days ❤
You both radiate with Gods love, such a pleasure to watch x
Hannah S I agree - their testimony of Jesus' love is heartwarming
Yup I agree too. God is really there and does really help, all a person has to is reach out to Him!. :)

You just made me cry with joy. Thank you so much for your kind words.
That Australian Girl I mean it. The offer stands. If you ever want to talk or text, I am here.
Love the paint and scripture piece you made! Love!
Heather Stackhouse same here!
Thanks Mary I really needed to hear that I am not alone because sometimes I feel like I am alone. I am sitting here fighting tears.
Lee Sanchez nightcrew ... I am here if you need a friend xx
Lee Sanchez nightcrew I am sitting here, reading posts through my tears. I am alone as well. Every day I pray for God to end my suffering. I am so sorry for whatever you are going through. There is too much suffering in this life. Too many people suffering. Too many people alone. You'd think space is at a premium up there. Why else is He not calling for me yet? I will pray for you to have strength and courage in the storm. God bless.
Lynn Yes there is too much suffering but we can use anything has an encouragement to someone else.
you are not alone. thinking about you and wishing you the best!!
WizardFreak478 Thank you. That means a lot.
Oh hey. We're all human. And we totally understand the clutter of a lived in home. We came to see you not the house. Love you guys.
Oh Mary! You are such an amazing friend to have. I cried and my bf asked why so I told him. He saw "Aww no fairs here, hiss, they made you cry!" It made me laugh. I always watch you guys and you are the most real people I have seen and I want to thank you for sharing your journey with us. As you may know I have many chronic pain and it comes with many mental illnesses and complications. I am always, always having to book appointments and go get good work, take care of my pain, meds, blood glucose, diet and book rides to my appointments. It's a full time job and very taxing. I made two appointments today for a ride and to get bloodworm done and I see my doctor in two weeks and we will discuss my need for pain management and more tests for rheumatoid arthritis, MRIs etc... I totally get what you meant when you spoke about how much it takes to just live all the required, beautiful, sad, happy times! 😍😁 Love you guys!

Mary I'm so sorry about your friend and I'm so sorry you're having such a rough time yourself!
I'm so sorry about your friend, but I'm so glad she has you two in her life to be there to offer some comfort and love to her! ~huge hugs~
I appreciate your vulnerability and realness. what a great platform for Christ. life and the gospel are both so tragic yet beautiful. Thank you for the daily encouragement and laughs.
Thank you Mary & Peter for the privilege of spending time with you in your day to day life. My Mother-in-law used to say regardless of circumstances "It's is well,
All will be well".
About 2 1/2 years ago when I was starting to forget how to laugh every day and was losing my joy in the Lord I came across your Vlog. In that time you have motivated me to find a new church, been an example of how to strengthen and incorporate my faith in all that I do, I started to exercise more and now not only have the strength but also the courage to wander from my wheelchair now and I pay less attention to my "numbers" and more attention to finding the Lord's love everywhere. I know I am not the only one who has had this experience; my faith and resolve is strengthened by all the subscriber's comments, encouragement and prayers for one another. You built a small city around love, faith and honesty - I am so glad you go beyond chocolate shop experiences. Love from Canada to the Freys and their incredible followers.

Please just pray for my family and I. My grandaddy not alone was a grandfather to be but a father and by the end we joked around with everyone how I was his "mother" and he was my "son." so thank y'all so much for all of the encouraging words. y'all are such blessings
Sorry about your friend, praying for comfort and peace as she goes through these times.
Mary and Peter, I am so thankful for you guys. Totally not crying haha You its have profoundly impacted my life and I am SOO thankful for you guys! You feel like cherished friends to me. Big hugs. Have to share a wonderful recent life happening... I've made a bunch of friends at my church, and my they have blessed me! They've given me rides to church, prayed for me, supported me, encouraged me, and displayed such very genuine Christ-like love to me and my family. I am SO thankful for them!!! ❤️❤️❤️
It doesn't happen often, but I LOVE when Mary gets embarrassed or exasperated and says, "Peter!". That's a wife loving her husband and knowing what he said was true, but probably an over-share.... fantastic. You two rock!
i love you mary . You are such a sweet friend to your friend and so so many of us. we are here for you we love you
Someone had said something below and I'm the opposite I am Subscribe to very little channels, like you can count on your fingers. I love you guys so much that I made you part of my subscription and want to watch you everyday. You really lighten my life. Love you guys so much.
I watch this channel because it truly resonates with me. I have several chronic illnesses and I find that what Mary says about chronic illness to be completely and utterly truthful and it has helped me to become a lot more positive about my situation.
agreed!
It's called the poem of life. We are all a part of it.
Whit U. Forever
What a lovely way of putting it 🌷 , not a story, but a poem. Thank you for that today
I agree! You both are such an inspiration to me. I can't even begin to tell you. I am walking through some health issues and I am using your mantra "Do what you think you can't do" it's getting me through a uncomfortable test next Wednesday. I prayer for you and Peter regarding your MD visit tomorrow. By the way.... I am 64 years young and have never in my lifetime felt comfort from strangers like I have felt from both of you. You both are in my prayers daily and I cry along with you during your hard times . God bless both of you! What a gift
You guys are the best. I love you and I'm happy to be along through your journey 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
Oh guys. Hugs. Thank you for setting a lovely example of grace.
Hugs Ms. Mary. Watching someone move from life to life is not easy because we as humans want to keep our people with us. I just want to encourage you that it is a move from life to LIFE! Count it all joy that we know what the next life holds. I pray for you daily. God Bless you.
Thank you, I needed a real life, light today,x
Mary, I find it incredible how you are able to find it in yourself to lift others out of their hard times and sorrows when you are going through so much yourself. You are one of the most wise and compassionate people i've ever seen. You never fail to put a smile on my face and put hope in my heart every day and I really appreciate that.
I love watching your blog and no, life can be very tough but in the same breath, it can be very beautiful. Mary, your strength and positive attitude is so encouraging. Peter, your support and understanding of your beautiful wife, is so heartwarming. The love that the 2 of your share is wonderful.......:)
Life is fragile but so worth it.. Thank you Mary and Peter for today's vlog.
Do you paint on cotton watercolor paper? After you paint and it is curvy you can IRON it, literally, with a clothing iron. It will be flat as new.
Thank you for helping our family open up a dialogue about being an organ donor! While I know that is not ultimately your end goal it is still a very good way to introduce my children to the idea of helping others with such a gift. We love that your journey is inspiring our journey to take new roads!
I am new to your channel and I absolutely love you both! My daughter was born with a rare liver disease and had her liver transplant and doing great with it. Im glad you share these videos to inspire us to keep going during hard times. Keep doing what your doing and keep on laughing everyday!!
Thank you for sharing your faith and giving me encouragement. I love following y'all !
This is your MINISTRY, guys! And thank you for sharing your lives with us. You really do help people who are going through the messy and the raw, and I appreciate it and love you for it. I thank God for you, and may He continue to bless you and allow you to continue this ministry for many years to come!
I was just diagnosed with pertussis and I used to admire you but I have 100x more respect and admiration for you because of experience only a small portion of your struggle. Thank you
Amen, Dear Ones, to everything you said. The Lord is our Strength and our Song. Love, Janet
Your friend is really lucky to have in their life. May they have peace and lots of love.
Mary and Peter, Your message today could not have come at a better time. We have gotten some bad news today. I really needed to hear your words. So thank you.
Mary you're attitude is so amazing, I am about to leave for 2-3 months to treat a mental condition and being able to watch you be so hopeful about life and all it's messyness, made me cry tears of hope, that I can beat this. Thank you for that priceless gift.
You both are such a Blessing to many. You are where you are meant to be. God Bless, and I pray you have a better day tomorrow Mary. praying for your friend ❤
It gives comfort... It helps steel us when the difficult news comes.. hugs
I am so thankful for you guys! I love being a part of the Frey life family!! ☺
It's so heartwarming to see youtubers being so real and showing the bits of life that maybe not everyone is willing to share because they want to seem perfect.
Watching you guys has taught me so much about being grateful of all the wonderful blessings I have in my life. Thank you for that, you two are very inspiring.
So thankful for your encouragement and vulnerability.
thank you for giving the spiritual perspective of life. your type of message is what helps us as christians live with hope about the hard parts of life. continue to spread the good news of Christ
I just cried watching this, I don't know, I felt so connected and a lot less alone. Thank you so much Peter and Mary, you guys are amazing.
I just want to say thank you for being a blessing to so many!! I feel I'm blessed because I'm able to watch you everyday. You inspire me to go on. Life is hard, but God is good💗💗
watching your vlogs gives me a lot of hope and faith! my family is certainly not Christian, and I feel like I could never talk about god to them. I however truly believe in jesus and read the Bible when I can, as well as praying whole heartedly in my difficult times. when I'm older, I will certainly try to delve into a Christian community and join a church, but unfortunately it's not possible for me atm. I have a Christian friend, but apart from her you guys are the only people who I hear speaking about faith, and it makes me feel very happy. there's just something about believing in Jesus and God that makes me feel so warm and happy inside xx wow that was a long ramble!
Mary, you can always use masking tape to secure the edges of your watercolor paper to a piece of wood or a drawing board while you paint and then remove it once it dries. That prevents it from curling, but also leaves a crisp boarder around your artwork! :)
I was going to mention this too, but maybe additional likes will get it seen. They sell the boards at wal-mart and art/craft stores. They're like giant clip boards for artists. Blue painters tape also helps and is less like to take paper with it. @thefreylife
Hi Mary, Peter ... And of course Ollie! ... I have been watching your vlogs for awhile but have not commented until now. I just wanted to let you both know how much you inspire me every day. I have nerve damage in my leg which causes me severe pain and sometimes i lose the use of it, and some days it is a struggle to put on a brave face... I am amazed at how you both are able to smile and laugh every day!... Mary, you are so very strong and brave, and Peter, you are so gracious and caring to support Mary every day ( and night)... I thank God that you both have been able to spread your love and faith to all of us... I am grateful and blessed to know you! ... Thank you for sharing so many moments, ( even the difficult ones ) with all of us.
Having a bag ready is great when you know you'll need the same things trip to trip. I put together a bag for work trips and just so helpful.
One word to sum up why I watch your channel is INSPIRATIONAL. You truly inspire people to do their best & be the best that they can. I love your motto, Do what you think you can't do. Blessings from Kentucky
Total hope in Christ. Praying for your friend. May comfort and peace surround them. May Joy in their journey prevail.
Amen to being together and sharing experiences.
love how you both are so uplifting!! your words give me hope. listening to your faith makes me want to find my way to the lord!! love you both
What a beautiful vlog today. Prayers for your friend that she find peace and comfort and prayers to you and Peter. xoxo
You two are so happy in the midst of everything. You are a light on RUclips. Thank you and many blessings!
-Jessica
You both are so stinking adorable, encouraging and genuine! Love
I have watched your channel for a while now and I LOVE IT! Today's message though.... WOW! It spoke to me. I'm going through some things right now. I feel so alone. Other than my husband who is amazing and supportive knows... not another soul and its painful. I have watched this twice because it just helped me. I love you both! Thank you for sharing your lives and thank you for being such awesome people.
If you or anyone reads this please send a prayer my way. I would appreciate it SO much! ❤
Thank you. I needed this reminder of hope today. Thank you.
I'm am so sorry Mary. I have to say finding your channel was one of the best things to ever happen to me. You offer so much hope and joy and watching your videos always gives me a little more joy everyday.So THANK YOU.
And I just have to add that I watch because seeing you so brave everyday helped me to have more courage and hope in my every day struggle. Being sick is new for me and I am still trying to adjust but you both have actually helped me so much.
I thank God for leading me here, to you. You are precious. You make the words of the Lord come alive in real life. You center me. And make me give thanks for every day. Every time we open our eyes in the morning and begin the day ahead with love and compassion, it is a good day. Bless your friend and may she have peace in her heart. Journey well,and God speed sweet soul. ✨
Love and Hugs and Prayers. ❤
When I see a new video from you guys...I watch. This channel is so uplifting. Seeing both of you and the hope and happiness you both have in spite of the circumstances....it gives me courage to continue fighting too. Thank you for everything you share.
I haven't been subscribed for too long but the short time that I've gotten to know the both of you gives me so much happiness. Everyday is a struggle but I always look forward to yalls vlogs. May the Lord continue to bless the both of you🙏🏼❤️
I've subscribed to the Frey life because I have diagnosed psychosis, bipolar disorder, and ptsd. I battle these things everyday and even though my illness is completely different than Mary's I relate to having the good and bad days and the frustration. I relate to medicine not working and going to doctor appointments every week. It's so nice to be able to relate to someone and have the feelings you feel be said by someone! Thank you guys for all you do. I feel like you are good friends since watching you for 1 year now. Thank you!
Sorry for your sadness. It's so tough to see people we love suffer and be in pain. Just have to embrace them and make sure they know they are loved! ❤
I LOVE that verse. It has been our benediction at church as we study through Romans this year!
Mary so sorry about your friend.You did a great water color for your friend the verse was beautiful.Even though you don't feel all you are so positive.Peter is a great husband .Ollie is a very sweet dog loving his life with you both.God bless you all.Margaret from Florida.😀🎋
I subscribed for your realism. Life has been a nightmare for me the last 2 years, and now my aunt is starting a cancer battle. Thank you everyone who's been praying for her! I feel like my soul was ripped out 2 years ago, and just when I started feeling almost okay, I got hit again. That's when I think of you guys. My disability will never leave me, Mary will always have CF, and even if they aren't even almost the same thing, in a way we understand each other.
I live with chronic illness and I appreciate that you are showing the reality of it. It's hard to explain to others the impact of it unless they see it.
Mary, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I wish I could send hugs and love so much more. My mother is losing her battle with ovarian cancer and it hurts me but sometimes I sit and wonder if it will be better when she's not in pain anymore? When she's not spending long hours at chemo trying to just buy time, when she's not crying because it hurts so bad that no medication can take the pain away, or when she lays there and worries about my brother and I - even though we are 26 and 31. Yet, I never want to let her go. My father passed away just under 2 years ago and it's so scary to lose both of my parents so soon but I also can't stand hearing or seeing her in pain. I have been trying to find the diagnosis to my own disorder and they're so highly suspicious of neuromyelitis Optica - recurring, which means possible paralysis, and permanent loss of vision and I get so scared. I can't tell my mother. I cry, wondering what will happen if that test is positive, but you two, or, three, show me that there's still ways to live and it's okay to cry. This community has always been beautiful.
I'm sending all of the love I can. I hope today was helpful for you. I hope you're all doing well. I thank you so much for helping and sharing and guiding us. Lots of love.
Lindsay Song I'll pray for you and your mother. I hope everything goes as well as it can.
Lindsay Song I will pray for your mom and for you. I know how hard it is to desperately want to share your own tragedy with your mom but not being able to. I pray you and your brother are close so you have family to lean on in such a terrifying time in your life. God bless.
Lindsay Song praying for you n your mom.
Thank you everyone. I'm sorry Mary, Peter, and Oliver for making such a post.
Fortunately my brother and I will always have each other, and I'm blessed to have a significant other that has helped me when I was blind once, and sat down with me to reassure me that he's with me no matter what. I shouldn't complain, I am blessed, and I was blessed to have parents who were so amazing that they touched my life forever and I had gotten to grow up with them. And I am blessed to have this community thanks to the Frey family, all of you. I hope that I can spread as much love as you all give me. Thank you so much!
Lindsay Song You are blessed, but you are also allowed to complain. Life can be bad at times and you're allowed to admit that, and talk about it.
I found your channel through Slice of Lyme, they are nice people! (I also have chronic Lyme and co-infections). I like how you bring so many people together with such a positive Godly message thru the difficulties!
I am new to your channel. I have watched several of your blogs. You are amazing! Prayers to you both. And you are not alone either. ♡
i really needed that reassurance that i wasnt alone. Been going through a very difficult time, and have been feeling a void with God lately... I've just asked Him why so many times, because i don't understand how this situation was seen for my family. Everyone else has gone astray, and we literally only have eachother. Its hard sometines and we lose sight of the end being a bigger picture, but i try to not veer too far when i feel the way i do. just thank you Mary and Peter for the reassurance. it really lifted my spirits
I absolutely adore your little family. You are so inspiring. I also watch every single day since I found you.
Thank you both for all the encouragement.
love your channel.
I wish I had the faith and peace that you guys have. You are so positive amidst all the hard things you're dealing with. Im sitting here watching this crying - because things aren't great for me right now - and I am so fearful of losing my mother who isn't doing well - and seeing this video today , touched me so much. I wish I knew how to understand and have the faith you have grown up with, so that I could feel some sort of peace in all this. But I wanted you to know how much watching your videos touch me. Thank you for sharing your life and positivity with the world. You are truly so inspirational.
Crying, laughing, sharing, giving, taking, love, hope, despair, and joy are all part of life and they all have their place and their uses.
Marion. Thank you for sharing your stories and sharing the good days in the bed as I continue to struggle with my disability and my abilities knowing that I have to have another surgery in the near future keeps me going to know that you go through your struggles that everybody goes through their struggles but we all come out of it stronger and better people
you know, I'm an agnostic atheist and I just love watching you guys. your souls are beautiful and I'm from northbridge ma so it's nice to see people from home 💕
As you were saying Mary, the Frey life family is a dream come true of a dream you never knew you had. Im so happy to be a part of this amazing group of people.
Your vlogs are such an amazing testimony and have helped me through some tough, really hard days. Thank you!
I've been watching this channel since just before Christmas, and since that time my mental health has gone from bad to worse, meaning I have had to completely put my life on hold just to survive. But watching you every evening (I live in the U.K. :) ) getting through life's challenges really helps. Sometimes it's the only point of a day I look forward to. I've only just got a RUclips account so wanted my first message to be thanking you. So thank you for putting your real life out there for others to take strength and joy from x And good luck at the doctor's tomorrow!
I am very thankful I found the Frey Life channel. I've had a really difficult past year & it helps to know that I'm not alone. I don't have CF but I have other health issues (I do consider myself a "spoonie") and some days it's a struggle to get out of bed. I do try to do what I can though & "do what you think you can't do" is definitely my new mantra!
Amen there is hope looking forward to home to meet all these people.
omg guys i dont even know what to say. its for viedos like this that i love u so much. im really going through quite some stuff right now, and sometimes its just good to hear thar im not alone, that everyones lifes at least a bit messy. keep choosing joy! and just a big thank you, just for the encouraging words u guys so often have.
I'm oxygen dependent because of CoPD. If I am able to connect with people with issues that hold them to limits. I enjoy your vlogs because they encourage me to continue mine and stay positive. Happy Hello
Thankful for you guys! I am so sorry to hear about your friend. May god be with them every step. You are in my prayers. 🙏🤗 Happy Belated Valentines to you both. 💕
My heart goes out to you and yôur friends family, we are never prepared to lose a loved one (my tears flowed too).
I have to say I am no longer upset or ashamed of the messy äreas in our house since you and another vlogger showed you both have messy too, it's a work in progress.
Sending love to Mary, Peter, Oli, your followers and viewers.
I connected with you guys today. I watch you often. I have challenges with mental illness and it is great to see your guys smiling faces even when things are difficult!!
I'm so sorry Mary! but I'm so glad that you can share your life's and help others. Im 13 and have cf and its so nice to know I'm not the only ones who has rough days! thank you for sharing your journey with the world!
