A Brief Pause with Andy B, 08.07.2022

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.

Proverbs 3 v 7-8

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.

I finally beat my 40 minutes ride time for my regular cycle 😁

Didn't even feel close to death either so a win win.

Sure, it's only half a minute faster than last time..but it's also half a minute faster than last time 😁😊😌

You can fight change, or you can embrace it, but that doesn’t mean surrendering what you believe.

You can’t change what is. You can, however, change what will be!

Wishing doesn’t change what is.
It just robs us of our ability to enjoy what is.

Does it get any more English?

Fresh, home made scones; home made lemon curd; Hartley's raspberry jam; Devon clotted cream and, of course, a mug of tea!!

Feeling very happy right now.

Another Sunday evening and another batch of home made lemon curd 🙂

Always a pleasant thing to produce - since it's so very simple! And it smells fabulous too!

Now waiting on number 2 son to catch up with my progress as he proof reads and corrects spelling/grammar stuff.

Sunday PLUS, S01E002

Dave the Dog joins Jo Jo in the studio and, well, mostly together, they help Andy B take a look at the second chapter of Proverbs, which is rammed full of wisdom.

Dave the Dog comes to realise that using a permanent marker on his friend's head is not using much in the way of wisdom - at least he gets there in the end!

The BerryBunch

Sunday PLUS happens around the world at 5pm (UK time). We'll publish the video at 8pm the same day.

Family Prayer Time, Brands, S01E08

https://youtu.be/eq8OfRl7-CA

Peter & JoJo get together to encourage us, as always, to pray as a family. And they continue their series on using objects around the home to help us stay focused in prayer.

This week, JoJo & Peter continue to inspire us into praying for different countries, nations, or places in the world by using, this time, brands associated with countries.

Peter and JoJo encourage us to find items or pictures of items that are either made in a particular country or reminds us of that country for which we want to pray.

With an item from Ikea – a mobile phone holder made of wood – of all things! - Peter and JoJo pray for Sweden.

A pair of lovely goldfinches are busily building a nest just outside one of our windows. These are two ridiculously pretty little birds with perfectly defined bands of golden yellow and glorious red!

What a joy to see them beavering away looking as beautiful as God intended them to look, building their nest, with not a care in the world - even the wind we have today is blowing them all over the place, and yet they sit on a small branch, steady as a rock. What a reminder to be peaceful amongst the winds of life.

It reminds me of Matthew 6:26-34 (NLT)
Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?...and so much more heavenly wisdom

Andy B 2 Minute Video, New Life Meets The Old, S04E062

https://youtu.be/mvoNWpuBPzA

A friend in the US sent me a photo from her garden. And it struck me just how much the old vegetation had protected the new flowers growing, because the old had literally covered over the new, during the winter.

With Easter just a week away at the time of writing this theme of old becoming new, is very much on my mind!

I’m reminded how the terrible eruption of Mount Saint Helens resulted in the devastating loss of much forest. And yet that loss also allowed smaller plants, flowers and bushes the chance to grow and thrive because they finally saw lots of sunlight – that the forest canopy overhead had denied it prior to the eruption.

It’s easy to see devastation as just an end. But, with Jesus Christ, the end is never the end.

Just a thought…

Sunday PLUS with Dave the Dog, Proverbs 1, S01E01

https://youtu.be/pdt_3HtQ0vk

Andy B starts us off with the brand new Sunday PLUS by opening the bible to the book of Proverbs, and the very first chapter.

The Bible is exciting and is full of all sorts of things that can help us live better lives and become more like Jesus.

The book of Proverbs was written by King Solomon – the most wise man to ever live, after Jesus of course!

King Solomon is perhaps most well known for telling two women who were arguing about which one of them was the real mother of a baby, to cut that baby in half. Of course, the real mother said no, while the imposter said yes. King Solomon had his answer!

Proverbs teaches us all we need to know gain both knowledge and wisdom – and the difference between the two.
