"this is really about stewardship for what's been entrusted to us by god" Looking after our Earth Mother "Papatuanuku" That's what we call her in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and by default she in turn will look after us all. You truly are amazing people.

I love you have ponds and they attract birds etc.

Mennonites seem to be one group that tries to make a consistently positive contribution to human society.

Great to hear from you again! What a blessing it must be for your young and old people to be able to share their experiences with another generation and the experience of knowing Jesus as part of that.

What you explain sounds lovely and I tend to romanticize things. But, being a mother and grandmother, I realize that as lovely as your life sounds, I would want to be the mother and grandmother to my own children first. I am a life long Christian and think perhaps I feel this way because this “ task” of motherhood to specific children is God given. I would miss raising up my own children and grandchildren. Just another perspective…..

This year I have lost every generation of my family. 23 months ago I found and buried my high school senior son, 6 month after my dad died, 3 months after dad, I found my mom dead and my husband of terminal glioblastoma brain cancer. So now it's just me. I don't even know who to put down to inherit my retirement or life insurance amor any assets should I die. 3 generations wiped out within 2 years. I am not even 50 and everyone is gone. Now, I'm so lonely because I have no family.

So great to see you here! I send a big yes to the importance of community that includes all ages. It is essential. Living together in community has a unique value, I am sure, but those of us who are not called to communal living still can choose to seek every opportunity to form relationships with families and individuals at every life stage. How rich that makes life, while it enables us to serve each other. I now live in the vicinity of the Hiwassee Bruderhof, and we drove by the community recently. It was heartening to see the restoration of the small college, formerly owned by the denomination of which I am a part, that had fallen into disrepair and was closed. I look forward to planning a visit there and to seeing more of you here. Happy Spring!

Muslims? I feel severely concerned and threatened as a Christian and ethnic European, in Europe. I can show Christian charity without giving my country over to islam. Once you let islam get a proper foothold, it becomes a severe threat to Christians. Practical experience confirms that it is they, the mualims, that prevail, not Christianity.

The intergenerational living is one thing that always draws me to the Bruderhof (well, apart from the big one of living for Christ together!). Each time I have visited as a young person and now as a mother with Elodie, I have been taken into families and really made part of them. Having ladies care for Elodie for me while I attended a night meeting, or even just going to the effort of having a few toys she would like in their living room always helped us feel welcome and eased some of the burden of being a solo parent. Gosh, we need to visit again!

Chris and Norann i love your RUclips videos they are fantastic and there's some good news out of this im having lunch in the dining hall next Wednesday because for me now 27 years old i have decided to do it and by the way tell Bear i said hello love from his Uncle Will ❤

Real Peace for me--and really all of us--is only found in submitting to Jesus through the Holy Spirit. "Yield now, and be at peace with Him, and good will come to you..." (Job 22:21) Calling for HIS Will to be done. So long as we are still at war with him, demanding our own way, we will not have real peace--regardless what our lifestyle is or however many wonderful people we live with. JESUS is HIMSELF, our Peace. (Ephesians 2:14) NASB

Wonderful seeing you, Norann and Chris! So have you moved into a new home? I wasn't sure from the introduction what space you're in now. I am, as one of our politicians described it, a "childless cat lady". I suppose "childless dust-bunny lady" would be more accurate now, since my beloved cat passed away three years ago. My adult intergenerational living experience was a very blessed one. My mother and I lived together for the last five years of her life. She enjoyed good health until her last two months, so this was not a health-related caregiving arrangement. We both just decided that we enjoyed "the pleasure of your company". It was cozy and comforting for both of us. I am so grateful for that extraordinary time we spent together.

You two just popped up on my notifications so I immediately clicked the link and watching this video has made my day. You really are the best advocates for the Bruderhof community. Just watching you together and learning about your way of life has brought me so much joy and more peace than anything else in my life. How I wish the world lived like you do in your communities. Thank you for connecting us to you. The photos you shared have given us a real sense of who you are and how you live. Sending love to you all.

Tolle Aktion. Wird das Ganze irgendwie wissenschaftlich begleitet? Macht ihr selber Aufzeichnungen, wie sich z.B. Temperaturen, Erträge ändern?

Who was the tree supplier please?

You asked what you should be talking about…. Everything you talk about is inspiring but what has come to mind is how a Bruderhof life brings peace to those who choose it. Does that make sense?

Not sure how I missed this one so I’m watching in retrospect. I love hearing about your family and community activities. I’d be with Norann, bar-tending and giving out community snacks 💕

I always look forward to your videos. Your community and the people you share your lives with are an inspiration to all 💕

Many hands make light the work. Quite inspiring!

Check out Tony Rinaudo. A man from Myrtleford, Victoria and what he started in Niger.

Beavers

Hey I know that lad! Jordan is a good kid. It was good to have another dedicated Christian on the station while he was here. We had a couple of good bible studies.

Hi Chris and Norann I saw two teachers and students at Lake Inverell today they were flatout and I told them they are welcome to come to connections in September this year and I will be giving them a tour including you two because my dark blue uniform I love wearing it when im working it's heaps of fun

A wonderful effort. God bless you, brother

Baie mooi manne!

do you think you could post the lovely poem that your mother read at your wedding & your anniversary

So sweet to share❤

What temperature was the oven on and how long did you leave the omelette to bake, please?

You should import some beavers; they would love the landscape and would be a tremendous help against both drought and flood, as they change the landscape. But I guess, the Australian government would be quite sceptical to import yet another critter?!
