Love to you all.

Prayers for dont, she and her family have been much in my thoughts.

I have been reading through and praying along.

sad I think your DP is very wise in what he says about acceptance. This is not the same as not taking positive steps to aid recovery, but acceptance in so far as this too is part of life. One contemplative mediation I did a while ago I remember visualising all those suffering being held in God's love. And the people were linked together across the world, but also back through time. Suffering of whatever sort makes us feel very alone, but we are held in God's love with so many others across space and through time, really not alone.

musicposy i am sorry that you are no further forward with a diagnosis, how very frustrating. I will pray for respite for you and some improvements.

Orchid well done on getting out for your walk. This helped me no end when I was off work with stress and anxiety. I continue to pray for calm and a lack of eggshells for you [prayers] I hope the visit was okay, 60-90 mins is perfectly adequate.

Colabottles i will pray for you and your DH as you find a way through your situation.

bes prayers for calm in your house too.

I know if I add any more personals, I will miss people out; I have been intermittently praying for different posters as they come into my head, rather than systematically. But I will add prayers here for Edd who has a lot to deal with, for MHD for better health and the lovely Oma for all her support and a full recovery Flowers

So, I don't tend to think of Lent so much as about repentance but about the temptation aspect. I am going to post separately as on phone and don't want to lose this post while I get my thoughts together

CocoaLeaves · 05/03/2017 21:49

Orchid i meant Flowers not [prayers]

Lissette · 05/03/2017 22:58

Praying for everyone tonight SmileFlowers

BlackeyedSusan · 06/03/2017 00:15

just collating info for the new thread....

Orchidflower1 · 06/03/2017 09:14

bes thanks for doing the new thread- hadn't realised we'd got so far! It is appreciated.

oma thanks for update on don'ts dh I continue to pray for their family. She could do with help from her dm not nagging!

cocoa visit to inlaws went well. All nice but busy house. Had been raining off and on but when we came out (1 h22min) there was a rainbow which reminded me god is watching over me.

CocoaLeaves · 06/03/2017 11:37

God is indeed watching over you Orchid I am glad things went okay.

I am struggling today, this is a day of little strength for the battles ahead. It is a day for prayers that God will stay with me.

Prayers for all who need them.

Thanks bes for thinking about new thread amidst everything else.

Dutchoma · 06/03/2017 11:59

Sending rainbows to all who require them. God's promise is that He will always be with us, whatever the circumstances. It is better not to spend energy we haven't got on battles.

Flowers wise words Oma

But that is how it works, the diversionary tactics which make you question yourself, rather than focus on the issues at hand. I am just stuck in waiting limbo-land, thinking about how to defend arguments not yet made. Wasting energy indeed. With apologies if that makes no sense, it is helpful to lay down.

Dutchoma · 06/03/2017 15:14

I know I put it down earlier in the thread, but I will write it down again:
Worry is the interest you pay in advance on a debt you may never owe.

Thank you for your wise words as ever Oma

BlackeyedSusan · 06/03/2017 15:49

arse. it would seem that the gutter cleaning is also window painting. need a big push on to get tidied.

BlackeyedSusan · 06/03/2017 15:50

or pile it all in the hall/landing/bathroom Blush

CocoaLeaves · 06/03/2017 18:18

bes that will be my cleaning technique of choice this evening.

saa how are you doing today?

Lissette · 06/03/2017 20:40

'Father God, I come into your presence so aware of my human frailty and yet overwhelmed by your love for me. I thank you that there is no human experience that I might walk through where your love cannot reach me. If I climb the highest mountain you are there and yet if I find myself in the darkest valley of my life, you are there. Teach me today to love you more. Help me to rest in that love that asks nothing more than the simple trusting heart of a child. In Jesus name, Amen'

Dutchoma · 06/03/2017 20:45

Amen

Lord, Please help me every day to see all of the beauty in my life and all you have given me. Help me to let go of anxiety and lean on you. Please listen to our prayers and in your mercy & wisdom, teach us to trust in you and the path you set before us. Thank you for your love, your patience and for always calling us back to you.

Amen

Lissette · 07/03/2017 00:06

That's a lovely prayer colabottles

barefootcook · 07/03/2017 07:07

Dutchoma, have you had any news of Trazzletoes and little Joe? It has been very quiet on the Children's Health thread. Hopefully they have had some positive news.

Dutchoma · 07/03/2017 10:02

Yes barefootcook just today there was a message to say that they were starting iodine tablets in preparation for some procedure at GOSH where they were going tomorrow. I think there is a great deal of uncertainty at the moment, but also a measure of hope, so we keep praying

BlackeyedSusan · 07/03/2017 12:45

really really really stressed about man outside window... hoping not needing topaint today. place is a tip and it will not dry before the children get home. not safe. if gutters can keep curtains closed.

please do not fill up thread until tonight as I will not have time to post until then. unless oma wants to start a thread and I will post the big block underneath. again. I have it in email ready to be formatted on the thread but busy hiding stuff clearing up.

sadandanxious · 07/03/2017 13:19

Oh no! Just wrote a long post and my phone refreshed itself and lost it. So I will just say that I'm praying for all those who needs prayer today, God knows the needs of every one of us, he can discern what we need vs what we want and never fails to provide if we are careful to listen to Him.

Lissette · 07/03/2017 13:30

Lissette · 07/03/2017 13:33

Hope this is okay with everyone. I haven't done an introduction as Bes has one ready.

barefootcook · 08/03/2017 03:52

Thank you Dutchoma- hopefully it will be successful. If you hear more, please let us know.
