Norann & Chris - Duo Down Under

11 ай бұрын

This July, we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with family and friends at the Danthonia Bruderhof community here in Australia. Join us as we share some of the highlights from the festivities, and as we look back at our wedding (at Woodcrest Bruderhof, in Rifton NY USA) and the blessings we have received in the intervening years, not by our own merit but by the grace of God and with the amazing support of a vibrant faith community.
Oh, and if drinking games are your thing: have one on us anytime we say "celebrate/celebrating/celebration" in this video. But you'll want to mix in a fair bit of water...
About us: We're the parents of three sons and live at Danthonia Bruderhof, a Christian community in northern New South Wales, Australia, and enjoy discussing our faith, family, food (Norann's an awesome cook!), and the day-to-day adventures of life in "the bush".
More about the Bruderhof community where we live: www.bruderhof.com/danthonia
Follow Norann on Twitter at / norannv and Instagram at / norannvoll
Norann is a contributor to Seasons of Community Living, a group substack providing a window into the daily lives of women in Christian community. seasonsofcommunityliving.subs...
Norann & Chris are both contributing authors for the Bruderhof's publishing house, Plough, and its magazine, Plough Quarterly. www.plough.com/en/authors/v/n...

What a wonderful video, memories for you to cherish forever. I loved listening to your boys sing together, and that painting was amazing. The photos of you all together with Chris’s mom really showed the joy you were all experiencing and sharing with your community. Such a happy time for you both. Keep loving and sharing your love with us. We love being able to share your life ❤️

Thank you, dear Peter, and greetings to our 'west coast brother'! And maybe when the Trio hits the bigtime we'll get a gig at the "Craypot" and see you there?! Lol! Wishing you joy and courage for the week ahead.

Congratulations! But more importantly, thanks Chris for your words at the end. It's important (for me) to remember the 101% rule: You can't compare the 1% of a person's life that you see on social media, to the 100% of your own life that you experience all the time, grot included. Love to you both. A x

I love listening to you both chat. Your faith, commitment and wisdom inspire me greatly. As I watched this, tears came to my eyes to see the love you have together. I think you are so blessed to live in your community and may your love and faith sustain you forever. God’s blessings to you both ♥️🙏🏻 with love Elizabeth 🫂😻

You are so right, Elizabeth: we are blessed in many ways. Our challenge is not to take that to ourselves, but to use the gifts we receive undeservedly to be of service to others, and hopefully encourage them along the Way. Thank you for your words, and we send our love back in your direction too! N&C

.... and it's always great hearing from you guys! I'm awake cuz my little fur girl doesn't feel well and needed to go outside. It's such a gift to love. It's hard when the feeling isn't there, yet Truth reminds me Grace is always "at the door". I appreciated seeing tid bits of Life's Celebration...the generous and gracious and good ol fun expressed and experienced. It's a marvel how happiness can ensue amidst the drama and the trauma. Felicidades ✨💖🙏

Thank you, dear friend. Hopefully 'fur girl' has recovered fully and well. Maybe it is precisely the 'drama and trauma' of life that allows us to understand happiness when we experience it. If we never knew sorrow, would joy feel the same?... Thank you for the light you're shining in the world!

@DuoDownUnder
@DuoDownUnder 11 ай бұрын
Thank you so much, Vicki! Great question too! Norann actually just wrote about our move for her contribution to the "Seasons of Community Living" substack this week. You can check it out at seasonsofcommunityliving.substack.com/i/135690386/norann-in-danthonia-new-south-wales-australia (spoiler alert: in community, we don't personally own property, including our houses; we'll readily move among residences as needs dictate. For us, we moved recently to allow a family with little kids to have the cottage we'd been occupying, as that was best for them. And our new home allows our mom to live right alongside us, where we can be family together. Win win situation. 😊)

It's titled 'I Love You', by Roy Croft, and is available on a bunch of websites including this one: www.lovemydress.net/blog/wedding-readings/i-love-you-roy-croft. Great poem!
