Jan- For peace, for her DD to sleep better, for her to be able to put firm boundaries in place and that her H would reach acceptance and peace about the situation and learn to respect her, so they can reach a place of good co parenting. That God would help her as she begins to investigate divorce and proceed. And that the meeting goes well with her parents and in laws and that a line would be drawn in the sand.

LiftUpYourGingerHeadsOYeCurls-for her as she does her thesis, for energy, concentration, clarity, ability to see the connections as well as the bigger picture AND be able to express it in writing.
Dontsteponthemomeraths - Prayers especially for her lovely man (LM) as the court case heads to High Court, there have been so many delays but it should get there in January. That God would make a way, where there is no way, help him to afford the court fees and that he will finally have the closure; contact with his children and a maintenance agreement in place that is fair to him, his ex wife and to the children. For justice. It's 6 years since divorce due to her infidelity and it is so hard for him. The children and ex wife live in another Country and the legal system there is very different. Prayers that he has freedom from his past and doesn't live in it anymore but breaks free and moves forward in all God has for him.
And for my brother, that his thumb heals fully and that with the rehabilitation he regains movement and use and that his nerves and feelings across the top of his hand come back. The outlook is not positive currently.

What a wonderful post Millie. Thank you.
And thank you for your prayers for us. Yes, we had a disturbed night, not sure what happened (not at my sharpest at 3am 
but Bob was quite loud and upset, although as soon as he had his oxygen he said there was 'no problem' and seemed surprised I was asking.
Hilarious story about your very own Father Christmas in his underpants PA
cuddled up
happy christmas. we just managed to get the tree up so that santa could leave the stockings. I don't think dinner is getting cooked today.
mil made it to christmas!
mil died early this evening. gone home to Jesus. rest in peace. please pray for sil/fil who were with her. and h who was here. he was due to go back tomorrow to see her. both the children talked to her this morning, as did h. I iwsh he could have been there.
Cuddled up and BES - praying
Also praying for Bob.
Off to Scotland to stay with the outlaws tomorrow. This time I'm driving up I couldn't face their usual form for booking flights for 8 days or similar when I say 4-5 max.
The truth is I like my home comforts. My own space. Being elsewhere on my best behaviour, without the kids usual routine and toys is very wearing for me. They also never offer child friendly food and also offer them chocolate constantly and then they wonder why they do not eat their meals I think DS survived on bread and bananas last time I went up at Easter. Please pray that the children are good for the long drive and that I muster enough emotional energy to be positive about the stay and to enjoy it. I find my PIL marriage dysfunctional and mil passive aggressive behaviour very trying. So I'm already dreading it and I'm not even there yet. Not to mention being in the middle of no where with nothing to do. Wish you could divorce in laws too
