#TestimonyTuesday: A Moment with Our Creator

Today’s testimony comes from Beth Alisan, and her blog, Lessons from a Lab. Her testimony speaks not just of God’s goodness, and God’s provision – but also God’s ever perfect timing. And, if you haven’t come across Beth’s blog, it is simply superb and I always enjoy finding out what God will want to say to me.

Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. PSALM 72:18

Praise be to His glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen. Psalm 72:19

Testimony
Each year, I pack up my kids, my younger brother packs up his kids, my Dad packs up the boat, and we meet at a lakeside cabin for a week of fishing at a state park close to my older brother’s home. On the morning of our departure, the kids and I saw my husband off to work before loading the mini-van and heading north. [READ MORE]

A Brief Pause with Andy B, 18.07.2022

The wise inherit honour, but fools are put to shame!

Proverbs 3 v 35

There’s always hope!

There are times in our lives when we feel hopeless, when we can’t see a way out, a way forward, a way to resolve our circumstances and we lose hope.

It’s fair to say that there were many moments in the Lord of the Rings when at various times different characters struggled with the events that were so dark and dismal that their feelings of hopelessness were revealed.

When Helm’s Deep was under attack with only three hundred men inside trying to defend themselves against an army of over ten thousand orcs there was, understandably fear and despair amongst the men. And to make matters worse many of these men had not seen battle or never even used a sword before. Not good! [READ MORE]

You need not be afraid of sudden disaster…for the Lord is your security. He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.

Andy B 2 Minute Video – 100th Episode, later today

I wouldn’t normally give you a heads up that another Andy B 2 Minute Video is coming out. But, this one – at 6pm (UK time) will be my 100th of this Season. And it will be my last one for a while too; after 2 years, and 148 episodes, it’ll be time for a bit a pause!

Much more to be revealed when this pops up on your Facebook, Instagram, WordPress, Twitter or Tumblr feeds, YouTube, Vimeo, DingDash wall, E-Mail Inbox, Podcast provider.

But, fear not – we’re nearly to publish my 2nd book, which is a collection of Andy B 2 Minute Videos for you to enjoy in paper form, or even on your kindle or other digital reading device. And, God willing, I’ll be back – to find out when, you’ll have to check out this evenings Andy B 2 Minute Video, called “Pausing Is Good For You!!”

Life is a lot like gardening, with seemingly endless work, that seeks to get you down.

Remember to celebrate the good and take time out to smell the roses when they bloom.

Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding.

Proverbs 3 v 13

Andy B

Got out before it got too hot. And I even beat my best time yet, yes!!!!🙂

Strava is a bit out as I forgot to hit start until I was a wee bit from home.

Still, my route was virtually, entirely, car free and the sea was beautiful, with the waves crashing against the shore - despite it being the school run time

Not a bad day today!

Jo had a run with Peter, while I had cycleed: only 2 mins over my normal 9.5 mile route, so happy with that as I felt tired & didn't try much

Jo, and I, then, cycled together to the coast - and back - which was great, although the sun was a little warmer than we prefer at 12pm!!

Played Risk as a family, movie night over dinner, with home made, oven, chips with chicken thighs 😊

And I made a Victoria sandwich cake for dessert, with chocolate rather than the usual vanilla. Including chocolate flavoured icing, with dark chocolate sprinkles on top, and some raspberry jam.

Little bit of Foyles War to watch before we retire to bed, and a busy week ahead of us, with plenty of editing from a full day of filming on Saturday - which I've missed lots through our end of seasons break for the last month or so.

So, right now I'm a bit tired, but am also satisfied and happy with a lovely Family Focus together before Peter went off to bed.

Today has been a good day!

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.

Not bad! 3 mins over my best, but very strong head winds today around my little loop!

It’s easy to look good for others, but not so easy to do so for God: one has benefits now, and the other for eternity.
 
“To be a ring bearer is to be alone”. Just don’t base your success on the size of your friends list.

There’s so much written text around that it’s easy to undervalue reading the Bible too.

Ant, yet, the Bible is alive, and feeds us in a way nothing else ever could.

Sunday PLUS, 3rd July 2022...coming REALLY soon

Sunday PLUS will be happening REALLY soon. From 5pm (UK time).

We've revised the format a little bit from our last one, so that we will be LIVE, via Facebook and YouTube - so you can choose which one works best for you to get involved.

Not sure what Sunday PLUS is? Check out the page on our website.

We love doing Sunday PLUS, and it's gonna to continue for a long time yet, God willing. But, today will be our last LIVE broadcast - from the 1st Sunday of August, we'll be uploading the video in advance so we can have a bit more of a rest as a family on a Sunday, but so Sunday PLUS will still be ready and waiting for you to enjoy.

Andy, Jo and Dave the Dog

1,000 posts on our website is pretty fab. But the numbers have taken me quite aback - we don't go looking. We simply do what we believe God is asking of us. However, sometimes, it's nice to know that people are watching what we do...

God is good!

1,000 posts. We’re only just beginning!

This is your 1,000th post from the BerryBunch. And, well, we thought we should mark this in some way, so here we are!

On 19th April 2020 we published our very first post titled, simply, “First post of the BerryBunch.family blog”.

And, since then, we’ve grown from the odd video, to regular output including Sunday PLUS, Andy B 2 Minute Videos, Family Prayer Time, Marriage Matters, Endurance, Jo’s blog posts, Story Time with Dave the Dog and Little Blessings Online, books and more.

Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you.
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
Psalm 55:22

It's good to check in with God during the day, so take a brief pause every hour or so and reflect on this quote/image.
