A prayer thread for Cupoftea's Beatrice - please sign up

52 replies

Northernlurker · 16/12/2011 09:30

Cupoftea's beautiful daughter Beatrice was born in September this year. She has a number of serious medical problems and disabilities. This was a complete shock for Cupoftea and her family and they have been utterly inspirational in the way they've faced every challenge this has bought. Beatrice is a very special and loved little girl. Her name means 'voyager' and as she voyages through her life we need to get behind her and her mum and dad and give them every support we can. A few months ago we had a prayer thread on here where we prayed for about an hour with folks taking five minutes each or praying as and when they can. This week Bea has been in hospital with bronchiolitis. The most recent updates is 'They're still in hospital, Bea has had a temperature on and off and is still on oxygen, it's going between 0.3 and 0.5 litres. They have started some anti-biotics just incase. Dr Death (Beatrice's consultant - always looks on the bleak side) is living up to her nickname and being characteristically awful'

I really feel moved this morning though to say that we need to gather together and pray for Beatrice and her family. I know that prayer works Smile

So points for prayer:

For Beatrice's recovery

For strength for her remarkable parents as they care for Bea and her sisters.

For wisdom and compassion from the medical staff

For Bea's sisters and the wider family.

For thanksgiving because today is Bea's 3 month birthday

In order to have time to gather people in I think maybe we should aim for prayer between 8 and 9pm tonight but please just join in as and when you can. If prayer isn't your thing please hold Bea in your thoughts. I know the support Mnet can offer has meant a lot to Cupoftea so lets keep on with it.

Lovely idea Northern. I am not a praying type but I do think of Bea every day and just wanted to add my support to your thread.

Northern, thank you so much. The wording, and sentiment behind your words, has moved me to tears. I feel that Beatrice is loved and protected by so many friends that we have never even met.

Although I appreciate all of your prayer points, may I please draw special attention to the Prayer of thanksgiving- we have been given a wonderful 3 months with our gorgeous girl, and I thank God every day for my miracle gift Smile.

I can't do prayers, but I followed Cupof tea's earlier thread. She, her family and Beatrice are in my thoughts.

NorthernLurker you may not know who I am but we've bumped into each other on a few threads and I know you! Had no idea you believed in prayer too. I'd love to take a slot for Beatrice and thank God for her. I remember cupoftea's original thread, and am glad I found this one. :)

Will be praying for Bea too

JugglingWithGoldandMyrhh · 16/12/2011 19:34

Will be saying a prayer of thanksgiving for Beatrice on her 3 month birthday (having been on her birth thread)

Quite glad all the slots are taken as I'm quite a forgetful sort of person - and it's good to have so many prying for her Smile - but should be able to send up a Quaker style "holding in the light" prayer sometime during our prayer hour.

Sending you much love and strength "cupoftea" Smile

pookamoo · 16/12/2011 19:34

My DD2 is the same age. I will also be holding Bea in my thoughts. x
