I loved this story. I love Cades Cove and The Great Smokey Mountains. I know it was a hard life back then but oh the blessings that were received in the kindness like Rufus showed. Would love to live in an area like that.
@heatherstewart61 hey Heather! Amen to ALL that. We need more like of our elders knowledge and kindness nowadays that's for sure.Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n
Howdy Daisi! 👋😃 Yeah I absolutely agree with you on that about this ole world. Thank you so so much for watching and enjoying! God bless you Kinfolk and have a mighty good'n 🙏💙🕊️
I really love these Appalachian mountains family stories … Thank you for remembering to tell us the history( some of that was not recorded in our history books). It is the specific family stories that I love to hear about ❤ Thank You
Amen sister I love hearing about the history of our elders and the times and experiences they had. Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n 🙏🕊💙
God Bless You Jared! Keep up the great work. We love and appreciate you so much for the kindness and support you show others. I have your channel permanently listed on my publicly listed RUclips Channel Recommended Watchlist! You'll be reaching 100K soon!! I'm so proud of you!! 🙏💖
I missed the live but the replay. is just as good. Thank you, Jared, for sharing Margaret's story. This brings back such wonderful memories of my childhood. Hope all the kinfolks are doing good tonight. Prayers for all of you. The Lord bless you and keep you all.
Rufus was the kind of man that we need a lot more of today. This is a wonderful store that you told me very well about. The super nice person of my childhood was our local U.S. Mail Delivery man. His name was Bill. We called him "Mail Box Bill". He was the real Super Man to me. He helped save my sister's life, after she drank poison. He took many people to the doctor in his truck when he found them hurt, sick, or in trouble. There were not many telephones back then. Most people did not own a car or a truck. There is no way of knowing how many times he drove to town to bring the doctor to deliver a baby. He was our means of communicating with the outside world (in more than one way). He raised a big family. He built many homes. He was a huge loss to everyone when he died.
Hi Jared! Much thanks to Margret Harper and her grandchild for giving you this story to tell us. It's occurred to me that we always talk about how mean things and people have gotten in the world these days. Many of the stories we hear you tell are from our grandparents or even further back. We wish for those times to come back when people were kind and caring. Rufus has the answer to this problem! If we remember what he says in this story, a lot will become very clear! It's unfortunate that the whole world doesn't hear this story tonight but I hope someday that they will. If not from you and Rufus, then just from you, or me, or any of our other kinfolk! I've often told my friends that the way to handle mean folks is to kill 'em with kindness! Now it's true that it does make 'em wonder what you're up to, but I've been amazed at how many friends I've made just being that way - including alot of those mean folks! Y'all take care now! May God bless you and yours. 😊
Amen to that Nancy! So very true and I try my best to be that way. Folks nowadays could learn a lot from our elders. I miss them each and every day. Thank you so so much for watching and enjoying! God bless you Kinfolk and have a mighty good'n!! 🙏💙🕊️
What a wonderful story and the way it was told jerked on many a heart string! It reminds me of how Joseph told his brothers in the Bible, “ You meant it for evil, but GOD meant it for good! This story was a sermon lived out and preached to many generations through Rufus. Thank you! God bless you for reaching those who have chosen the “wrong road” with stories that melt callused hearts . God chose Rufus to be the road to bring this young man to God!
It was a real blessing of the Lord to allow me to find this program. Even though I'm a flat lander I always had a special heart for them Appalachian Mountain Folk. I think I got the mountains in my blood because the Daddy I never knew is from Kentucky!
Well, that means you got the mountains in your blood and in your heart so you're DEFINITELY Appalachian! Welcome to the channel and welcome to the family! God bless and have a mighty good'n Kinfolk
Sometimes at the self checkout counter a friend of mine would tell me to skip some of the items because they do it and I tell them heck no I don't steal and they shouldn't either it just ain't right
While layin in bed I'll listen to these ,well now my wife's joined me lol...Nice to have another thing for me n her to share...Preciate ya from Okie Country over n out!!!
❤ This BedTime Story! Its hard to find preachin in my area. Most preachers use those internet sermons that just dont have the sparkle of the Lord’s Holy Book. Ive told a few of them about it. I miss the preachin. Jared, you’re preachin to us all thru your stories. Thanky, kin
I just come upon your channel a few days ago and I love it. You sound a lot like me and my family but we are from Mississippi, Egypt Mississippi. Just bunch of farmers and railroaders. So I became a railroader. Anyway, I love the channel and the Appalachians. We go camping and canoeing every chance we get up there. Feels like home to me.
Howdy Blake! Welcome to the channel and the family of kinfolk brother! So glad you enjoy channel. Definitely awesome to meet other down home folks! Mississippi is a beautiful place with some mighty good folks too. Hope you have a mighty good'n brother. God bless
Hey Sasha! Oh awesome! Yeah it's absolutely beautiful there. Wish I had an ole log cabin to call home there that's for sure. Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n
@@JaredKingTV Absolutely it’s a beautiful place. I crawled all over those cabins that are still standing and tried to see it through the eyes of those who once called it home and those few whom still do. God Bless ya and have a wonderful night.
That's similar to what you do Jared. You "tote a load of folks to preachin'" when you host your live shows. That's what it feels like when we all pray together with you in the pulpit. God Bless You.
Hey Jared hope your Mama is doing better. I need you and kinfolks to pray for my son and his family and my daughter and her family. Also for my sister and her daughter. Prayers for y'all also . Good hearing your story . Thank you. God bless you and your family and all kinfolks❤
Hey from Memphis. 25 years ago my 7 year old son riding a small gentle horse when we were staying in Townsend it was named Sugarfoot. A couple of years later when we going again they brought him down from pasture for my son to ride again.
Another feel good story that shows that if t you live a good life, do God's work and are neighborly and kind you will be rewarded. And your actions can turn someone's life around.
Great story Margaret, thank you for having your son send it in. Jared thank you for sharing this with us ❤
Howdy Judy! Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n sister 🙏 💙🕊
