Grin

I know I would appreciate prayers as I face the prospect that the Littlest Dippy starts school in a few short weeks (w/c 12th Sept to be precise). Feeling a little wobbly to say the least ......

Prayers...

thejaffacakesareonme · 02/10/2011 09:50

Prayers for everyone

Sweetest - praying that everything for your mum will go smoothly. It's such a hard time for everyone. Praying there'll be good news tomorrow for the friend in Spain.

TACP - you're doing great. All kids can be little rotters at times. My DS1 was a pain in the backside yesterday. I'm sure your mum just doesn't choose to remember those times.

Fabbyuncle - hello! prayers for your uncle

Caz - paying all is going well for you and the little one.

yay! h is starting a new job tomorrow. he is based about 50miles away. he has been, (and gone,) to see the children. not sure what to think. he is emphasisinng the importance of seeing the children, but has caught an early train to go and get settled at his parents house. i can understand sort of...it is a long journey and his first week but... oh well, time will tell. I am wondering whether there will be texts to dd.

Hi all,

This is a prayer thread for tomorrow for CupOfTea who could do with some support from all of us while they going to meet the specialist who will have news about their 2 week old daughter Beatrice.

LeoTheLateBloomer · 02/10/2011 17:03

blackeyedsusan · 03/10/2011 21:29

phew. been to the dr with dd and trailed round 3 pharmacies to find one with a supply of the medicine that was prescribed. then bought tea in tescos as it was very late. didn't get home til after dark. left most of the shopping (nappies) in the car til tomorrow. couldn't face going up the stairs with all that and can't leave children alone in the dark. thank God that we had a helpful pharmacist at boots who helped us find a store with a supply of medicine.

blackeyedsusan · 03/10/2011 22:33

thanks blue.

Hello

I've not been on in a couple of days as got a nasty infection on sunday, it has hit me for six as not had one like this in a while, ie can't get out of bed. It's funny because lately I've been feeling not very close to God and felt quite anxious in all the busyness and newness but it's now when I'm so poorly and forced to 'be' that I can sense God's presence again and even the excitement of what he is doing and power. What's that all about??

Praying for everyone here. If my lungs are useful for anything it can be prayer!!!

Bluetinkerbell · 04/10/2011 12:19

mhd hope you feel better soon! If you need any help with anything, give me a shout!

Bluetinkerbell · 04/10/2011 14:26

Sitting here crying and smiling at the same time, and only one sentence can explain: I am sure I shall see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living.
One lovely lady on MN has very kindly donated us some money so we can order Sterre's memorial stone, so we can hopefully have it up by her due date and All Souls day next month. Praise God!

blackeyedsusan · 04/10/2011 14:38

wow blue.

please pray I can shake this ear ache. having to resort to paracetamol now. may have to go to gp. can't afford to be ill with the children to look after. have had a sinussy cold for 2 1/2 weeks and just can't seem to shake it and now it has gone to my ear.

Bluetinkerbell · 04/10/2011 14:54

bes praying for your earache to disappear!

madhairday · 04/10/2011 15:10

Aww Blue that's so wonderful :)

Praying, BES

Bluetinkerbell · 04/10/2011 15:16

It is amazing, I just can't get over it. And now I have the difficult task of choosing the wording to go on it. Never ever in my life I thought I had to do this.

thejaffacakesareonme · 04/10/2011 20:06

What wonderful news Blue.

Hope you feel better soon MHD

gingercurl · 04/10/2011 20:44

Wow Blue (That is my favorite Taize chorus at the moment. It keeps going round and round in my head all day. Smile)
BES, hope the ear ache goes away.
Hope you get better soon MHD. In the meantime, why don't you just enjoy soaking in God's presence? Most of us don't slow down enough to get the chance.
Am feeling a bit all over the place at the moment in more ways that one. DH has been away for work since last Monday and doesn't get back until this Friday. My confidene got a bit of a knock last week.I just seem to be running around in circles. Need to focus.

Bluetinkerbell · 04/10/2011 21:20

It's amazing what the power of prayer can do. Now that something like this has happened I realise it.
I had a real emotional day today. Read through the prayers people had written at Sterre's funeral, sat crying with her teddy bear. Chose the wording for Sterre's memorial stone. the lady who makes them will send the designs at the weekend which we then need to approve and then she will start carving the stone. It was heart wrenching to do, but it will be so nice to have something on her little grave.

madhairday · 05/10/2011 11:36

Sending love Blue, and prayers for you today.

Thanks for all prayers. this one is hitting me hard but yes having to stop is perhaps good.

Bluetinkerbell · 05/10/2011 12:43

Can I ask for prayers for a lovely lady from my November babies thread. Her little girl was born prematurely in August, and I just read she died yesterday :( they don't know why, she was only just home after staying in the hospital all that time... Prayers for strength for her family to get through this difficult time

DutchOma · 05/10/2011 13:16

Oh Blue, how very sad. Prayers for you, for her and her family.

madhairday · 05/10/2011 15:14

Blue :( Certainly praying for the family.

thejaffacakesareonme · 05/10/2011 15:59

Blue - how very sad. Adding my prayers
