I hope LibraPoppyGirl doesn't mind, but seeing as she sort of "did" a summary for me; I thought I would use her words to start a new thread as the last one was getting pretty long! Smile

It was interesting to find out what the Plural of Phoenix was at the same time - Apparently that's derives from the original Latin - same as Matrix and Matrices. So there you go!! You learn something new everyday. Wink

Prayers for LibraPoppyGirl as well - as she seeks refuge in the ... erm ... refuge and looks to a safe future with her precious family. Protect her, Lord and show her the way she should walk .....

Happy Birthday miniCD!

Keeping prayers going...
Feeling fine today xx

MaryBS · 30/04/2011 13:46

Legoland was brilliant, although quite busy. We were very lucky with the weather and I ended up with pink cheeks! Then met up with Amber and her family, which was great and we didn't want to leave, so we were late getting home! :)

madhairday · 30/04/2011 16:59

Happy Birthday little dippy! Bless her in her little outfit [csmile]

Mary - glad you enjoyed legoland and meeting up with Amber - how lovely!

I'm still struggling - didn't manage much of the street party as felt awful so a bit fed up. Had a chilled day today. Just need to make tea then it's Dr Who and So you think you can dance, dd's 2 favourites atm.

love and prayers to all! xx

MaryBS · 01/05/2011 09:28

How are you feeling today, MHD?

Belated happy birthday to your BIG little girl CD :)

MaryBS · 01/05/2011 12:20

am wobbly and tearful. Why don't people try to think?

PositiveAttitude · 01/05/2011 12:29

Oh Mary ((hugs)) Do you want to tell us what has happened? Prayers that your day gets better.

blackeyedsusan · 01/05/2011 12:47

oh Mary, that's not good.

madhairday · 01/05/2011 14:15

((((Mary)))) am on FB if you need to talk....praying. x

MaryBS · 01/05/2011 16:39

Am OK now, thanks. About 1 minute before the service was due to start (and I was sitting "up front" with the priest), I was told that the churchwarden would be telling the congregation that we have a new vicar. I was shocked and upset no-one had told me it was going to be announced, and I had to sit out the service, carrying that info in my head :(, also knowing there'd be lots of questions from the congregation and I would be one of the people collared to answer questions, and I wasn't prepared for that. Turned out churchwarden thought the diocese would have sent me the same letter she got, so she assumed I knew...

madhairday · 01/05/2011 17:20

Glad you're OK now Mary. A bit of consideration and checking up with people before decisions are made is never a bad thing. :)

CaptainDippy · 01/05/2011 18:43

Hello all Smile Hope you are all having nice Bank Holiday weekends Smile

People need to think more, Mary, they really do

How is everyone today?

gingercurl · 02/05/2011 10:10

Praise God for answering prayer! My 15 yo DGodS, who has recently been diagnosed is beginning to accept that he may have an ASD and has agreed at least to see a member of the support team. This is a huge break through since he has consistently denied that he has a problem and blames on everyone else for being inconsiderate, especially his sisters (one of which he can't tolerate being in the same house as him) and mother (who he didn't speak to at all for 4 months last summer). Thank you God.
Prayers that he gets the treatment/support he needs and is able to accept them, please.

DutchOma · 02/05/2011 10:37

That is indeed a very good answer to prayer Gingercurl.

CazandBelle · 02/05/2011 11:46

In light of the announcement of Bin Ladin's death as well as the ongoing unrest in Libya and Syria and I really feel a need for a coming together in prayer for our world situation. I'm surprised at how this news has affected me, and how concerned I am for the impact on our doorsteps and the new threat of terrorism in retaliation.

I pray Heavenly Father that your hand be in days, weeks and months to come. That lives are spared and retaliation attacks because of Bin Ladin's death thwarted. I pray for peace for the Libyan and Syrian people and that you draw close to all those people hurting, thirsty, hungry, scared and injured because of everything going on in these dangerous situations in our world.

gingercurl · 02/05/2011 12:07

Amen, Caz.

DutchOma · 02/05/2011 12:18

Yes, Amen indeed.
I still feel that the Christian world missed a tremendous opportunity after 9/11 to exercise Christian forgiveness rather than vengeance (as in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan). Vengeance is mine says the Lord (Romans 12:19) and I don't think, with Obama, that "justice" has been done.
So additionally I would pray that we have opportunities to "do good to those who hate us" and that we would not crow over the death of an evil man.

CaptainDippy · 02/05/2011 12:25

Amen Caz Smile xx

Yey for the breakthrough GC, praying for your DS as he seeks help and support for his DX xx
