"The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace." -Psalm 29:11 ✝️💪👨‍👩‍👧‍👦😇

Painful sides when I blow my nose. I haven't coughed much, but when you do MAN is it agressive - it catches you off guard (I've been so careful to breathe through my nose as much as possible, although a runny nose has frequently kicked that one into touch)

Haven't had painful sides (from coughing) like that for MANY years

Steven has nearly lost his voice, and is feeling generally run down
Nathan struggling with temperature fluctuations
Peter is looking run down, and is very slow (we miss his joyous smile! :-( )
Jo is perking up a bit, but her cough, while pretty mild, is causing her upset

I even went outside to empty a bin...very slowly, and cos we couldn't get any more in it!!

I'm hoping these are positive signs, but I'm equally aware that good moments are followed by bad ones, so none of us are taking any improvements for granted

@tanjaostman tea tree oil is simply amazing! We will look into that room infuser thingy you mentioned at some point

First time I've felt like having a shower, since last weekend.... I'll take that as a positive

With ajo and I both coughing last night, I got up at 2 am to go breathe in tea tree oil vapour...after 30 minutes of a string dose of that, I finally started to breathe without wheezing.

Am now utterly exhausted as I tried sleeping for a few hours on our recliner sofa, so I could stay a little more upright

Nathan couldn't get warm last night, neither could Peter. Nathie actually went off to bed in two jackets, a thick winter coat and hat!

Steven is just very low, with mild symptoms kicking his butt.

For all of us to be I'll at the exact same time, is simply not something we've ever experienced previously. It is making everything even more complex!

Ongoing prayers would continue to be very welcome.

Prayer Request!
My sweet mom had carpal tunnel surgery on her right hand yesterday morning. She's a touch 91 year old that looks and acts 70.

Covid prayer update: Nathan definiy ill now - he can't get warm, and had a really rough sleep

Jo had a cough slowly developing and is really rough

I was up at 0530 for food and painkillers because the headache I had stopped me sleeping. And I can't keep a stable temperature - it's all over the place

Nathan seems to be sinking a little now - just a headache so far....Jo and I definitely have head cold symptoms now, with a cough we're just about keeping at bay

Grateful for the prayers. Steven a little ill, Nathan ok, Peter is cold and has a mild headache.

Jo and I barely able to leave the bed (I really don't like hanging around in a bed!). Pain killers finally reducing my headache. We're exhausted, and we can't think straight.

On the plus side I woke up today without the odd sensation in my lungs that I've had for the past few days....can't describe ii verh well...perhaps like a cold pain? That's now gone, thankfully!

25th wedding anniversary plans now killed off, which is the least of our issues.

Positive home covid test for Jo (assume I have it too) which will curtail our filming day today!

Started last Wednesday so we should be most the way through...

Prayers appreciated by my DingDash family!!

Self isolating til Friday

BerryBunch.family Light Party, 2021 – The Light shines in the darkness

youtu.be/WWc9tVUza9M

‘The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it’ (NLT) – John1:5
In this year’s Light Party, you are in for a treat – No Trick – All Treat! You’ll never guess what, Andy and Jo are joined by none other than Dave the Dog. Dave is actually in the studio, for real, ‘in person’ – well ‘in dog’!

Now, just so you know, Dave the Dog does not like the dark and was happy to show up for the Light Party, knowing that it was all about light – the opposite of darkness – and that the studio would be well lit…. but there’s a problem.

Dave finds himself in darkness more than once, tune in to find out what happens and how Dave handles himself in the studio – will Dave behave himself, what will he make of the microphones and what will Dave’s take be on all these Light Party treats we have in store for you?

Marriage Matters, S1, E2 – From this Day Forward

youtu.be/e2vPmGJ1kRE

Or we could call this one "2 + 1 =5"

Andy and Jo are thinking about how 2 become one, 2 halves make a whole, 2 become one flesh, 1 + 1 = 1, or is it 2 + 1 = 5? You will just have to join Andy and Jo to find out what this maths is all about!

To put it more simply, when making a marriage commitment, you go from being just you and from this Day Forward, as they say, you are a couple, a pair, married persons.

What does this mean for us as individuals?

How will are faith, prayer life, Christian walk be affected?

What happens to me, I, Moi….?

Jo and Andy open up about some of the challenges they faced and what worked.

"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." -Ephesians 2:10 👨‍🎨💍💪🏆⏳

The tempter doesn't come to tempt you looking like a black fiend, having a tail, two horns and with a fork in his hand. If he does that, people will easily identify him and run away from him. But the tempter often comes like a friend, with a smile, and with mouthwatering offers. Don't be ignorant of the devices of Satan.

These are pictures we took at an orphanage we visit to help. Our hearts break as we wipe dirt or dry vomit off their little bodies. Or unleash them from a chain holding them to the wall so they can’t move more than a foot away. Or tend their oozing infections in their mouths, feet or wherever. When I have one of these little ones near me all I feel is love and compassion. To tend them with the most Jesus love possible. We can’t go see them right now because of covid. I hate covid. But when I PRAY, I ASK GOD TO SHEILD THEIR MINDS AND HEARTS and to help them feel HIS LOVE regardless of what humans are doing. And I BELIEVE with ALL MY HEART that God answers and honors these prayers. For HIS heart breaks even more than mine.

So Christians please care! As a church we CAN make a difference. We can adopt. We can support financially. We can help physically. We can pray. We can advocate.

Or We can forget and look away.

My thoughts from China tonight.

The reading of a brother's inspiring devotion was preceded by me needing to change a filter in my coffee machine, which then percolated in my spirit (the pun was too good not to use!) to produce this post today.
