    Divorced once to an unfaithful wife, widowed twice, I found my gal, and it is good, married 13 years now. Our faith in Jesus is an important glue to our relationship. I remember how hard it was each time. But faith kept me going and hoping to this wonderful marriage we have now in our 70's. Wait a while, but don't give up. There is someone special just for you out there, and God loves to be a match maker.

  • @Greg_Gatsby
    @Greg_Gatsby 10 месяцев назад +1

    A favorite series on SRF involved an old tractor (AC or MF?) found on a neighbor’s property. You worked your way into the locked rear axles and fixed that tired iron. Sometimes that’s more gratifying than finding a maintained piece of equipment and picking it off the shelf, so to speak. Your heart went into that tractor. Over 60 years ago I had a JD B model with flywheel start, and it seemed to me there was nothing that little tractor and I couldn’t accomplish. Eventually it wore out, much like me today. But I still think of that little tractor and the memories we made. Josh, keep making memories. They last.

I've dated numerous women and havn't found one that's ready for this life...I want a family and children, but I'm getting older now and looks like I may have to settle for grandpa v/s dad. I feel cheated out of my youth sometimes. Plays with a fellas mind doesn't it

    What you're doing with the farm is amazing. It's a lifestyle I wish I could live again. I enjoyed living on a large dairy farm with multiple livestock and learned so much from it as a child. I think my chickens are as close as I'll be able to get at this point lol.

    @mcchupka9718 3 месяца назад

    Josh, what you have attained and built there on the farm is a thing of wonder… a grace of god. You built everything there with your own bare hands and it is quite impressive. You desire to want to share that with some offspring is very important and you are not wrong for wanting to do that. You owe it to yourself and you should move on without guilt. Unfortunately, it will not be easy for you to find someone of character and not greedy based on your public fame. Be careful and go out and find you a mate. There are plenty of fish in the see. Wish I could help point you in the right direction but to each their own.

    Been there; done that; time to move on. In the process of moving on, it will take many months, if not a few years for you to learn, try to make some sense of past events, learn some more, and a few year later you will come to understand what and why it happened. Proceed with caution, lean on your friends, deepen your walk of faith, and over time you will recover. Then you can move on.

Before you get into the next relationship, figure out what went wrong with this one, correct your part in it, and heal from that completely.

    I had a very bad break-up about 40 years ago and what helped me was when I was told time and again that beauty is only skin deep!!! You're better off waiting for the right one and if the right one doesn't come along that's good also!!!

    Some of the comments were quite ugly. Apparently many of these folks have not experienced bad relationships, hard times or walked in your shoes! I love your work ethic and sometimes people simply grow appart. God bless

    Hey brother, sounds like you're keeping your wits about you and have a strong plan moving forward. Glad to hear it. You ever need help I'll be glad to come out and volunteer. I did so at a ranch in Arizona while I was deployed out there. I'm in Asheville and I don't think you're too far away from what I gather. Sucks about the dog but I think you did the right thing. Be safe, God bless, and I'll keep you in my prayers.
