Popping in quickly to say I'm praying for you today Mary - I pray you feel Gods presence with you and that he is speaking through you this morning.

Still praying about other things too, too many to type right now as I have to go get breakfast.

Wondered if you can pray for my dh - very tired, not sleeping wel, we're not sure why. But he's a bit grumpy!

Thanks everyone, your support is much appreciated.

Sitting here reading your posts, it brings to mind the hymn "If God is for us, who can be against?", so I'm sitting here singing it!

Praying for you all

nearlythree · 01/10/2006 09:24

Praying for you, Mary.

sleepysooz · 01/10/2006 09:45

nearly3 - the CD is from the leprosy mission mag that seem to appear through the post, and its just called 'classic songs' 60 classic praise and worship songs, next time it comes through the post which I am sure it will soon (xmas catalogues always arrive premature) I'll post the tel no and the cat no! - we also had a sunday school CD from them, the twins like me to sing those, but there are some dodgy ones around

nearlythree · 01/10/2006 09:54

Thanks, sleepy, I have the Leprosy Mission cat so will have a look. It's impossible to get decent worship CDs for tinies IME.

It went well, I felt really calm when I went up there to preach, I felt the Lord calm me. Everyone was really complimentary afterwards, but what made it for me was when we all shook hands at the sign of peace, everyone was smiling and laughing, rather than their usually serious selves. So this bit in my sermon obviously sank in:
"Instead of using your hands to point out the faults in people, why not use your hands to extend peace ? make peace with your neighbours. At the sign of peace, look people in the eyes and mean it when you say ?Peace be with you?. After all, if your hands offend, if you?ve chopped one off, what are you going to use to chop the other one off? It?s far better to make peace rather than war. Use your hands to help others rather than to help yourself. "

I only had one (deaf) old lady tell me I spoke too quickly for the induction system

Just to let all of you who prayed for my mother in her hour of need, that there is a progress report on her here .

Thank you.

(THis is a song to the tune of 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' that the children sing to the 'star of the day' in their class at school - slightly amended!)

Well done Mary, you're our star
You've done the greatest work by far
Following the Lord's rules
Working very hard
Now you get your name on the star chart!
Well done Mary, you're our star
Let's give her a round of applause!
