Your testimony of your faith was appreciated. We should never be ashamed to be christain. Like the blind man Batimaeus, we should always raise our voice above the voices of the world around us our testimony of our savior.

Will definitely watch!! I want fall so bad but I’m in Texas and it was 101 !!! Today I pray fall weather shows up soon 🙏🏼

I have watched so many of your videos, I have been cooking for way over 30 years just for my family. Not counting cooking when I was living at home. I feel so burned out at times trying to come up with new things to cook. I cook so much like you. It is very important for me to give my family a good dinner after a long hard day at work, school or what ever the day brings. Fi ding your channel has helped me so much when I get in that spot of just not knowing what to cook. Alot of times I watch Momma Mel before I make my grocery list and normally 3 of my meals come from your channel. I just love how real you are, I find comfort in watching this channel. I have watched this whole video as well as went back several times to write things down. I have watched the scripture you shared several times. It is so wonderful hearing the word while preparing for the week. I don't ever remember a time in my life where I didn't have Jesus. I gave my life to God when I was a small child, my husband as well. We have 4 children and the proudest moments in our life was when each of our children excepted Jesus as the Lord of their life. I could go on and on but I will stop here. I live about an hour and 45 minutes from you, we are in that area alot. Everytime we are in town I tell my husband. Momma Mel lives here, I wish I could run into her somewhere. He says I'm crazy. Have a blessed week sorry for the long message.

Good Lord, Mel! You have really outdone yourself. I'm so excited for Fall and even more excited to try these recipes!! Perfect comfort food for this time of year. Not sure which recipe I'm gonna try first but I have no doubt that they're all going to be delicious. Every recipe of yours that I've tried so far has been awesome. All of these make me want to get cozy with a blanket, a good book and some delicious food. Thank you so much, Mel, and thank you for your very much appreciated hard work. Also, thank you for sharing the beautiful scripture. I loved that. I hope you and your family have a blessed and beautiful week. 💖

I found that chicken and dumpling casserole recipe in my local newspaper about 3 years ago and tried it and found a new way to make chicken and dumplings. It is delicious!! I have the same can drainer you have. Don’t remember when I got it but I’ve had it for years. Thanks for the variety on this video.
