one last try then!!

my church

Good morning to everyone on this gorgeous day that God has sent us.

I'm feeling really upbeat this morning and can't wait to sing my heart out at this mornings service!!

Hope everyone else enjoys this fantastic day of worship.

God Bless
xx

MaryBS · 01/04/2007 12:19

You did it!

Hope you had a lovely service this morning - we did! We had a procession round the outside of the church, waving palms. And the Sunday club did a lovely alternative re-enactment of the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.

Tonight there'll be a reading of the Passion story, with contemporary and traditional music.

How is everyone this sunny day?

CaptainDippy · 01/04/2007 12:44

Not so bad, girlies asleep so about to start sorting out photos with DH before they wake up ......

Would love to say our service was wonderful and uplifting this AM; but tbh, it was pretty dire. Glad you've all had super times though - enjoy the rest of this gorgeous sunny day!!

Will be doing summary tomorrow evening, as DH is out ....

We managaed to sing 2 hymns in church before going out for little peoples service - by the time we got back in the service had finished! I sometimes wonder if we get forgotten about out in the church hall....

Anyway, ds and I had fun, waving palms, making palms and teaching ds to shout "hosanna!" at the top of his voice

Thank the Lord for a glorious beautiful day. I'm off out soon to play in our hockey cup final!!!!!!!!! Yesterday we won our league as champions too, so hoping for the double today!!

roseylea · 01/04/2007 14:09

hello!

Well our big achievement was actaully getting to church with dd recovering from her cold and feeling v. sorry for herself this morning.

We also had a dreadful moment when she begged us to go to the 'normal' church (i.e. the one we were going to, and left after CHristmas) and said that she hates the new church.......eeeek! when we said that we are not going to the old church any more she wept and wept - oh dear.

So I stayed in Sunday school with her and tried not to feel annoyed about missing out on what sounded like a really good service....oh well. (The Sunday school ran the whole duration of the service today so I didn't even get to sing a single hymn...)

I might go to a Stations of the Cross service tonight though, if the dcs seem well enough and dh isn't getting all stressed out with them... (Can you tell it's been one of those weekends??!!!)

longwaytogoandabitfurther · 01/04/2007 21:20

huh marybs not a chance he uses it for getting his head together. He will not see reason and as far as he's concerned he's 20ys older and wiser now so wont become a problem - all I can say is watch this space.

He stayed fri, sat bec i was working sat and couldn't be bothered to take him home -so should have because he threw major paddy's and I have had the most awful day.

Cried all way through morning service and in fact sat in entrance for half of it with dd breaking my heart, just feel totally useless, I can't pray for anything or anyone else, I can't live with him I can't live without him. I am a total total mess.

Still can't email anyone because I don't know how to set up a seperate email add, will have to get dd to show me. Feel useless coz I can't sort that out either.

Am begining to wonder if prayer really 'does' work because their can't be much else up there to come our way. I don't understand, I really don't.

Feel so isolated, wish I could pick up house and move it 16 miles closer to church for a start, or maybe I should just stop going seems I only a sunday christian anyway and all I do when i'm, there is cry.

What is the point?

worzella · 01/04/2007 22:09

No wise words LWTG, just wanted to say that I am praying for you I hope that you get a breakthrough soon. Stick with it!

I am reminded of the song 'Blessed be your name....' and the lines Blessed be your name on the road marked with suffering...etc. It always makes me cry because I am useless in the midst of difficulties, but can usually look back and realise that some good has come out of it. I also cling onto the verse 'all things work together for good for those who are in Christ Jesus.

We had DDs dedication today and thanks need to go to Panda and Mr Panda for all their hard work... there was a large number of deications, infant baptisms and adult baptisms and a packed church full of visitors. It was a really good service and then 3 families got together for a buffet lunch for about 120 people!! Completely mad - just realised that I was so busy that I hardly talked to my guests. It would have been really interesting to see what they (mostly non-christians) thought of the words of prophesy and the tongue that was given!! I pray that something was planted there.

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday evening...

MaryBS · 01/04/2007 23:10

Not a good time to post, because I'm tired and I've had a couple of glasses of wine. LWTG - I have been there, in some way, and I know, to some extent, what you're going through, and I REALLY want to help! There are a couple of sites at least, where you can set up a web-based email address. I know if you go to hotmail.co.uk, or yahoo, you can set up one, where you go to a web site and retrieve emails. If you want to do that, I can email you my home phone number and we can TALK! All I can say is, he's not himself, its the depression talking, and for HIS sake as well as your own, you can't be sucked into his depression. He needs to find himself again and stand on his own two feet and maybe you stand a chance. You need to find yourself as well, and, forgive me, you're too close to the situation to do either of you any good! God knows, you are in my prayers! I have the greatest admiration for you, and your strength and belief in God! PLEASE hang in there - you are so much stronger than I am. I've been there, crying in church, and God is so much bigger than we are, if we can but see it. PLEASE hang in there, you ARE worth it! God IS worth it!

Worzella - your DD's dedication sounds LOVELY! Dedication is not something I'm familiar with, but I'd LOVE to hear more...

God bless all

Mary
