@MaryMamuzich we're gonna be making toilet roll characters for Little Blessings Online and Story time...the Nativity Scene was something of a proof of concept (minus the story telling part)

@tymektt Yey 🙂

When Saul allowed David to go fight Goliath, I imagine him taking many deep breaths, perhaps hyperventilating and wondering if he'd actually just handed his own head to the enemy.

Who can you give authority to, so they can be [further]empowered to do Gods will?!?

When David went to face Goliath, he stripped off the armour that the King gave him, so that he could fight his own way; so that he could fight the way God had trained him to fight.

Where is God stripping away your armour so you, too, can fight His way?!?

As we face up to another house move, I miss the home we owned, that we sold so we can live by faith - over 15 years ago.

It was a huge piece of armour! And yet, we have fought many battles, since, that that piece of armour would have prevented us from fighting.

So, where is God stripping away the armour you value - so you can fight God's way, in the way He has already trained you?

PS Philippians 4 v 10 and 13 fit in well here too!

Crafty Christmas 2021

https://youtu.be/WFzxX0zrsUM

For the Berry Bunch Crafty Christmas this year, JoJo and Andy B talk about the Christmas Story and encourage us to make the Nativity scene using toilet rolls. There’s method in their madness as Andy reveals that the toilet roll characters in the Nativity will be something of a launch of Toilet Roll Tales for Little Blessings Online in the New Year!

JoJo and Andy introduce the main characters in the Christmas story, including angels, Mary, Joseph, Shepherds, animals, wise men and of course the most important person -Jesus as a baby.

You may need to check the bible for yourself for a more, full, and accurate account of the birth of Christ, but you’ll get the gist of it with JoJo and Andy B!

Why not make your very own Toilet Roll Nativity scene with all the key characters and some animals thrown in. You could use real straw or yellow paper and finish by decorating with lights, after all – Jesus is the light of the world!

Christmas Special Editions, 2021

Much like the story of Mary and Joseph, our best laid plans don't always go the way me might have hoped.

Mary, I would imagine, would quite possibly have preferred a fully staffed hospital with midwife support, over a stable possibly stuffed full with smelly animals, and her nervous husband doing what was needed.

And, as a family, we would have preferred not to have lost most of November and December to illness, hospital stays and plenty of other life related stress events that managed to cram themselves into an insanely tiny amount of time!

But, it is what it is!

Crafty Christmas 2021, Blooper, Audio Test

https://youtu.be/D4snt_stnqA

We hadn't been able to film for nearly 2 months, so thought we'd test the audio so our middle son could sort everything out after such a long break.

But being told to just talk normally for a while, usually doesn't work out as he hopes it will.

So we had some fun!

@daniel @mary

Congratulations - Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@davereimer burned ones don't count if you got to eat some of the other ones 😉

@sinbach bible readings, puddings, water - it's all better with bacon 🙂

@sinbach we do one of those, and also a cauliflower version, in the slow cooker 🙂

Always tastes great

The cauliflower one is always much improved by adding bacon 😉

Did some baking today 😊 Another first, since October.

One for a colleague of Jo's who took on a bunch of Jo's work so she could have less t so, due to me being ill

Managed to hand it to her this evening, when I dropped off Jo at work.

Baked a second one at the same time for us. Gonna ice that one shortly for the morning tea and cake moment we can now have 🙂

This time next month we should, God willing, be getting ready to be unpacking the vans at our new home.....

@tanjaostman I'm dumbfounded that it needs stating and people still talk about how the vaccine stops them spreading covid

The vaccine was never designed for that, and never could do that, never can do that and never will be able to do that

We had a tradesman in the house literally the other day...told us he'd been vaccinated so couldn't spread the virus...

I was so baffled by the stupidity of his belief, I couldnt bother responding

@tanjaostman half way through..............definitely a big WOW from me so far, but nothing surprising.

what has struck me is how factual he is, and calm

i presume he is what we call a GP - a General Practioner, or family doctor
