And they gave thanks to Him. 00:12:44.03\00:12:46.09 Just the first verse, for instance, it says here, 00:12:46.13\00:12:47.93 "Praise ye the Lord. 00:12:47.96\00:12:49.26 Oh, give thanks unto the Lord 00:12:49.30\00:12:51.40 for He is good for His mercy endureth forever." 00:12:51.43\00:12:54.64 Amen. 00:12:54.67\00:12:56.00 And then two, "Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord?" 00:12:56.04\00:12:58.87 Well, we could read the whole thing 00:12:58.91\00:13:00.31 and get excited, but this is Thanksgiving. 00:13:00.38\00:13:01.78 Yes, that's right. 00:13:01.81\00:13:03.14 We're here for what 3ABN is doing. 00:13:03.18\00:13:04.75 We're pulling out, 00:13:04.78\00:13:06.48 you're pulling out the praise, the people. 00:13:06.51\00:13:08.72 Sometimes maybe we forget to do it.

Yes. 00:36:18.47\00:36:20.68 We switched out family and we have Jason Bergmann 00:36:20.71\00:36:23.75 and his beautiful wife, Francine. 00:36:23.78\00:36:26.31 We're so grateful that God brought both you here, 00:36:26.35\00:36:28.75 and love you, and share with us. 00:36:28.78\00:36:32.32 Francine, let's start with you. 00:36:32.35\00:36:33.76 Share with us... 00:36:33.79\00:36:35.12 It can be anything. 00:36:35.16\00:36:36.49 A scripture, something God taught you this last year, 00:36:36.52\00:36:38.26 a gift in your life, whatever? 00:36:38.29\00:36:40.10 You know, with our family, I mean, family is so important. 00:36:40.13\00:36:43.93 And I think during this time, 00:36:43.97\00:36:45.33 we've seen how family is very important. 00:36:45.37\00:36:47.60 But also the 3ABN family, and there's extended family 00:36:47.64\00:36:51.21 that we come in contact with through this network, 00:36:51.24\00:36:56.21 I mean, through the kids. 00:36:56.24\00:36:58.31 But one thing that I learned specifically this year is... 00:36:58.35\00:37:01.82 We just got a beehive 00:37:01.85\00:37:04.59 earlier in the spring this year. 00:37:04.62\00:37:06.32 And so, it's fun watching the bees. 00:37:06.35\00:37:08.22 But there's one thing that I've learned about 00:37:08.26\00:37:10.09 bees specifically, 00:37:10.16\00:37:11.96 is that the worker bees are very quick 00:37:11.99\00:37:15.50 and eager to work. 00:37:15.53\00:37:17.27 And they might stop every time they go out. 00:37:17.30\00:37:19.37 They go out about every day, about 15 times. 00:37:19.40\00:37:22.50 But they stop at 100 flowers 00:37:22.54\00:37:24.57 before they go back into the hive, approximately. 00:37:24.61\00:37:25.97 Wow. 00:37:26.01\00:37:27.38 But they only live about 40 days. 00:37:27.41\00:37:30.15 And I mean, between 30 to 60, but they say an average is 40. 00:37:30.18\00:37:34.25 And what's interesting about them 00:37:34.32\00:37:36.08 is that they work so hard, 00:37:36.12\00:37:37.49 but they never get to see the harvest. 00:37:37.52\00:37:39.99 They might only make about one 12th of a teaspoon... 00:37:40.06\00:37:45.03 Of honey? In their life. 00:37:45.06\00:37:46.39 Of honey. Of honey. 00:37:46.43\00:37:47.76 Wow. Not much. 00:37:47.76\00:37:49.16 And that kind of brings it back to me. 00:37:49.20\00:37:51.13 And something that I learned is that 00:37:51.17\00:37:53.44 we are just about God's business. 00:37:53.50\00:37:55.64 We don't know... 00:37:55.67\00:37:57.01 Whenever God is impressing our hearts to do, 00:37:57.07\00:38:00.31 we need to do it. 00:38:00.34\00:38:01.68 And we might not see the harvest. 00:38:01.71\00:38:03.38 We might not see the winter. That's good. 00:38:03.41\00:38:05.38 But yet there's something in it. 00:38:05.41\00:38:08.45 And even with the donors that are... 00:38:08.48\00:38:10.72 You know, some of them, they may not... 00:38:10.75\00:38:14.12 I mean, some of them may have passed away, unfortunately. 00:38:14.19\00:38:17.29 And that's always sad 00:38:17.36\00:38:18.69 because we've had a lot of loss, 00:38:18.73\00:38:20.13 you know, recently. 00:38:20.16\00:38:21.46 And yet they're putting their fruits in heaven. 00:38:21.50\00:38:24.73 And that reminds me of Matthew 6:19-21, 00:38:24.77\00:38:28.50 where it says, "Put your treasure in heaven." 00:38:28.54\00:38:30.81 Praise the Lord. And I just... 00:38:30.84\00:38:32.44 That's something that reminds me a little bit. 00:38:32.47\00:38:35.71 And I mean, I'm so thankful for our donors specifically 00:38:35.74\00:38:39.31 because they are putting their treasure in heaven. 00:38:39.35\00:38:43.49 And so that is a sacrifice that they're making. 00:38:43.52\00:38:46.69 So that's something that most impressed me. 00:38:46.76\00:38:49.42 That's good. 00:38:49.46\00:38:50.96 That's a great lesson from nature too. 00:38:50.99\00:38:52.33 That is. 00:38:52.36\00:38:53.70 So, Jason, have you been stung yet by any of the bees or? 00:38:53.73\00:38:55.83 Well... 00:38:55.86\00:38:57.23 Not our bees, but somebody else is harvesting. 00:38:57.27\00:38:59.43 Oh, somebody else's... Okay. 00:38:59.47\00:39:00.87 So I had an opportunity to harvest some honey. 00:39:00.90\00:39:03.07 Oh, did you really? 00:39:03.10\00:39:04.44 And I learned how to do that with a friend of ours. 00:39:04.47\00:39:08.11 And I put on my bee suit and I thought, okay. 00:39:08.14\00:39:11.21 I put the whole garb on I thought, 00:39:11.25\00:39:13.25 okay, I'm protected. 00:39:13.28\00:39:15.15 And we went through most of the day 00:39:15.18\00:39:18.05 and I started getting a little heat. 00:39:18.09\00:39:19.92 You know, when you get your chin 00:39:19.95\00:39:21.29 a little too close to the mesh. 00:39:21.32\00:39:22.66 Oh, yeah. 00:39:22.69\00:39:24.06 Well, the bee will tend to sting you. 00:39:24.09\00:39:27.40 So we got to the, one of the last hives, 00:39:27.46\00:39:31.60 and this was the highest hive. 00:39:31.63\00:39:33.47 It had a number of boxes and it was later in the day 00:39:33.54\00:39:37.01 and it was getting a little warm. 00:39:37.04\00:39:38.64 And those bees came out 00:39:38.67\00:39:40.78 and I probably had about 150 on me. 00:39:40.81\00:39:43.65 And I was getting stung like every like 15 seconds. 00:39:43.68\00:39:49.28 And finally the guy that was doing it, 00:39:49.32\00:39:51.45 you know, he is hearing ah, uh, mm, you know. 00:39:51.49\00:39:54.56 He was getting stung too. 00:39:54.59\00:39:55.92 He was getting stung and I was... 00:39:55.96\00:39:57.33 And we're like, okay, we got to quit 00:39:57.36\00:39:59.16 because it was getting... 00:39:59.19\00:40:01.20 It was starting to get a little unpleasant. 00:40:01.23\00:40:04.43 Dangerous. 00:40:04.47\00:40:05.80 But what's interesting is our own bees, they know us. 00:40:05.83\00:40:08.54 Like, it's funny because Amanda will pick up 00:40:08.57\00:40:11.24 the bees on their finger 00:40:11.27\00:40:12.61 and they won't bother us. 00:40:12.64\00:40:13.98 It's interesting how they have that connection, relationship. 00:40:14.04\00:40:15.98 So I haven't taken the honey out of my bees yet. 00:40:16.01\00:40:19.15 Okay. 00:40:19.18\00:40:20.82 But right now we have a good relationship. 00:40:20.88\00:40:22.95 You know, they don't sting me and I get to watch them. 00:40:22.98\00:40:26.19 And you haven't taken their honey, 00:40:26.22\00:40:27.56 so they're happy to have you. 00:40:27.62\00:40:28.96 And I haven't taken their honey. 00:40:28.99\00:40:30.33 You know, I have looked in the hive 00:40:30.36\00:40:31.69 just to see how much they're filling the hive 00:40:31.73\00:40:36.06 and how they're growing it out, 00:40:36.10\00:40:38.53 but yeah, I haven't had problems with my hive. 00:40:38.57\00:40:42.50 But I haven't taken the honey either, 00:40:42.54\00:40:43.87 so I'll have to pray beforehand, 00:40:43.94\00:40:47.01 especially after Francine story about how much time they spend 00:40:47.04\00:40:51.65 in getting such a small part of the honey. 00:40:51.68\00:40:55.18 You know, and I think of 3ABN and Francine 00:40:55.22\00:40:59.05 and I have been here about three and a half years now. 00:40:59.09\00:41:01.19 Yes, amazing. 00:41:01.22\00:41:02.56 And we've seen many miracles. 00:41:02.59\00:41:04.43 And the one miracle that, you know, managing finances. 00:41:04.46\00:41:09.50 Especially here at 3ABN, 00:41:09.53\00:41:11.13 I've seen that we really have to trust the Lord. 00:41:11.17\00:41:13.80 Yes.
