Marriage Matters Editor S1 E13

youtu.be/nHLa7_gU14s

In this week’s Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo talk about the wider family – Parents, Siblings, Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents and the in laws and how these family relationships can affect our marriages for good or bad. Jo opens by sharing some family matters found in the bible, the good, the bad and the ugly!

Like Marriage Matters, so does Family matter!

Tips and Resources
• Look out for, and watch, Skit Guys movie - Family Camp.
• Take some time, a year if you can, when you first get married to learn what God wants you to do to serve Him – together - now you’re a married couple.
• Pray – ask God about family relationships and how he wants you to handle them!

The Take Away
Andy notes how the bible tells us to do family very differently from how the world or even the church culture tells us.

Jo has noticed how important family is from Genesis to Revelation!

@MaryMamuzich I'm not sure I've seen one, and especially bit this close. Perhaps 6 feet away!

One sits on a perch. The other goes to build the nest. The pair have been going flat out, returning every 60 seconds or so.

Always one on a perch, while the other goes to the nest withe whatever they've just found for it

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

When are you going to believe you receive what you ask in prayer—when you receive the answer or when you pray?

You should believe you receive when you pray.

@sinbach @tanjaostman her behaviour was open to criticism when she was a child too.........or maybe that's just me being a little harsh - she knew what she was doing, and so do the people manipulating her. that makes me cross!!

i wonder if she'll pick up what has really been going on and do a Macaulay Culkin , and ditch her parents so she can keep all the money to herself

Listening to a spot of Magnum nice and loud after my usual, extremely pleasant, cycle to the coast - to blow away the cobwebs, and loosen my back muscles after several days glued to my computer compressing all of the 450 videos we've so far created for BerryBunch

Compression has finished. Uploading to our cloud storage is done. And I've started the longer process of adding them all to Vimeo for ad free viewing!

Done quite bit of editing to my next book too since I've had none of the usual video editing to do this week.

Time for a very late breakfast, since it's now 12:30 in the afternoon!

Hidden Workings and Perfumes that linger

This week I’ve started the process of using Vimeo to display all of the videos on our website.
I say ‘started’ because we have more than 450 videos to ‘process’ and each one needs a little work before it can be added to Vimeo.

Once a video is uploaded I then have to add a thumbnail image, add the subtitles and captions, and then click on a few other things to ensure it’s all good to go! I can then add that video to the relevant page or post on the website, delete the YouTube version of the exact same video, and move on to the next video to sort out.

And, now, we have a solution. [READ MORE]
