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.

and so starts another book...number 3 if you're keeping count.

book number 1 has been published - have you bought yourself a copy of it yet? either digital (eg Kindle) or paperback, from Amazon: "Broken Dreams, and Hope!"

book number 2 is awaiting a foreword and Nathan Berry's wonderful grammar checking skills. got a cover I like, so that is going well.

book number 3 now has all the text it needs, but requires some heavy editing...but that's the part I seem to do okay...started at 1180 pages, so made the book a bit bigger and am currently down to about 850 pages, now I've removed lots of line breaks from copying the text over lol...slight panic to start with! it won't be anywhere near that big when i've finished deleting everything that doesn't need to be there (from the transcripts of 20 episodes of Marriage Matters - of about 35 minutes each....oops, did I just give the topic away )

S04E090, T Cutting Out The Good, Andy B 2 Minute Video

https://vimeo.com/724926039

Good things and bad things. They make up our lives! And it’s easy to want to forget about the bad things, especially those mistakes we made that we don’t want anybody else to ever know about.

We can accomplish, some of the time. But, there are some mistakes that are impossible to hide from others. And there is nothing we can ever hide away from God.

While it may seem like a great idea to cover over those dents and scratches from the bodywork of our lives, it may actually pay us to leave them as they are. Not all dents are bad! [READ MORE]

S04E089, Stress, Confusion and Clearing The Decks, Andy B 2 Minute Video

https://vimeo.com/724897088

Stress can hit us in different ways. And one of the symptoms I’ve often experienced myself, or seen in others, is that of confusion.

You can be racing through life one moment and, the next, wonder you’ve just put the milk in the cupboard and the tea bags in the oven.

That, right there, is confusion, and too much stress can leave you in that situation.

As Christians we are absolutely not immune to the struggles of living in this world. However, we do have access to the creator and designer of this world, which means we can always ‘phone a friend’ for help.

If life is stressing you out, go grab a cup of tea, go for a walk, stand outside in nature and enjoy the sky or trees. [READ MORE]

S04E088, Road Closed Signs And The Beauty Beyond, Andy B 2 Minute Video

PS - this episode was filmed and then edited with @tanjaostman 's husband and son in our studio, so is a bit special

https://vimeo.com/724138557

“Road Closed”.

It’s a simple sign in the UK.

It is a big, unmistakable sign – in red, with bold white letters. It means you can’t go any further in your car, without, essentially, permission - such as you live or work beyond it. But, to most people, it is the end of your journey along that road, because you are not allowed to proceed any further.

Near our home is a beautiful location, right on the coast. Steven runs to it. Jo and I cycle to it, often with Peter. We stand, we look, we listen, we breathe. It’s idyllic. [READ MORE]

A Brief Pause with Andy B, 28.06.2022

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

Andy B

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.

#abriefpause #justsaying #justathought #p4t #wordsofwisdom #pauseforthought #dailymotivation #berrybunchfamilyfive

The power of love for Jesus - An English family letting a Finnish family stay in their home and sleep in their beds. @daniel summed it perfectly...it's baffling, unless you know Jesus, and then it makes perfect sense.

What a truly fab time to meet DingDashers in person

Thanks to @Backtojerusalem and @sinbach and team for creating DingDash and making the world a much smaller place, and yet a much larger one too

Andy B

Safe onward travels @tanjaostman and family
