BES has no computer at the moment and has sent me a very comprehensive list of prayers partners.
Rather than put this is the middle of an ongoing thread I thought it would be better to start a new thread, so all the names stay at the top.

amberlight - for her work supporting people with autism, and for health and happiness for her and her family.

BlackEyedSusan - for all that she has to juggle as a single mum, for ds who has ASD, dd who might have ASD and dyspraxia (waiting for appointments) and for her mum. Also for the computer to be mended

Bloomed- New year, fresh start

Cocoaleaves - for issues around the safety of her DS.

Colabottles64- struggling with infertility.

DancingUnicorn - new to the thread, most welcome

Dontbesilly - for strength as she grieves the loss of her dad, for her DD's school issues, and for Dont's recovery from a car accident. For DH and his recovery from a heart attack and finding her phone!

drspouse - for happiness and a warm welcome in her new church and for dcs

DutchOma - with gratitude for all she does to support people on this thread and elsewhere.

EddSimcox - for her dd, for her relationship with DP and her parents and her growing faith.

girlandboy- family and faith

Lissette-anxiety and thanks for lots of prayers for others on this thread.

PositiveAttitude - for her whole family, but especially her DD1 who has been depressed, her dgs who was born early and poorly, her mum and dad, her DH and his work. Above all, we pray for PA herself, who is always there for others when they need her, for her studies, and for a potential house-move.

That sounds beautiful, Oma!

For those of you not on the chat thread we've set up a FB group (secret) for anyone from the prayer and chat threads here, so if anyone needs some more private space they can share stuff there too. But not to take over from here as here is brilliant and not everyone is on FB. But wanted to let you know about it. If you'd like to join please pm me. Smile

Hope everyone is ok today and appliances behave themselves BES. Dancing praying for you, for peace and assurance. Cocoa, praying for strength.

I've now finished the course of abs to kill this superbug so the next few days will show if they've worked...

Dutchoma · 25/06/2017 10:03

This was the book we had Dancing. The Bairstow we didn't do was Though I speak with tongues. We did do Stamford Jubilate Deo in D which David Hill said he had never done before, but was very nice. Unison.
We also did a very nice piece to words from Guatemala, The peace of the earth and Psalm 122 as a responsorial psalm, you know where you have the pause in the middle of the verse. "Long enough," said Savid Hile, 'to think: 'fish and chips and bread and butter'", but he brought us in every time.
The very best bit was the very last: we had an Andrew Reid descant to the last verse of 'We have a gospel to proclaim', that was such a good thing to go out on. I hope we have some more of these days.

I'm very lucky that the church I sing with has a very extensive music library!

Sounds like you had a wonderful day! :)

Madhairday · 25/06/2017 12:58

A beautiful hymn to finish on, Oma. I bet the descant was glorious! So glad you loved it.

BlackeyedSusan · 26/06/2017 10:39

ds has damaged communal property during a meltdown. I feel awful.

Donhill · 26/06/2017 13:20

Long time lurker - praying BES for you and ds.

BlackeyedSusan · 26/06/2017 13:37

thanks.

I have yet to speak to him about it as I was on the way to school when I found it. Last night was concentrating on keeping him safe.

Madhairday · 26/06/2017 18:07

Oh BES, that's hard.

Dutchoma · 26/06/2017 18:33

Sorry to hear that BES. Praying that you will find a solution.

BlackeyedSusan · 26/06/2017 20:09

well it was owned up to straight away when shown the evidence, so that is positive. next job is apology letters and paying for the damage.

CocoaLeaves · 26/06/2017 21:25

Prayers for everyone else too.

CocoaLeaves · 27/06/2017 10:04

Thank you bes - I was up in the early hours as DD was off for a school trip. I am now on the strong coffee to get some work done. I appreciate the prayers, I just had an unexpectedly positive meeting with the school about DS' support needs next year.

How are you dont? Prayers for your healing and well being.

I am praying for all in need of support and God's love Flowers

BlackeyedSusan · 28/06/2017 15:08

Madhairday · 28/06/2017 18:08

Thank you BES and don't

Dont how are you?

Cocoa I'm so glad the meeting was positive and I pray for good sleep tonight.

Not such a good couple of days for me health wise. Did too much too soon and took DD shopping for her prom dress. We did find a lovely one though but I've suffered for it since.

CocoaLeaves · 29/06/2017 17:43

Thanks MHD, it was helpful. But it feels like one step forward and three steps back and I feel very tired with it all. I just want to not be in this situation anymore Sad. How are things with you?

BlackeyedSusan · 30/06/2017 10:56

I am just about to get dd to take her to her new secondary school for a visit and I am scared.

BlackeyedSusan · 01/07/2017 11:13

visit went well. she was really scared until the art room when the teacher in there was really nice. there were lots of other children being taken round for similar reasons. (sn)

CocoaLeaves · 01/07/2017 12:53

That is good, I was wondering how it went - small things make a difference

Lissette · 02/07/2017 15:50

Glad it went well Bes. It's a big step for her.

BlackeyedSusan · 02/07/2017 22:31

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrssssssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

the garage I own has a broken door that is not locking. tenant (neighbour) approached me tonight to let me know. needs sorting asap.

please also pray as I have an inlaw coming to help tomorrow. it might get a bit fraught as I get stressed about people in the flat.

also pray i find the mot. (warned you I would ask) that is another of tomorrows jobs.

Lissette · 02/07/2017 23:19

Praying fervently Bes. Just had in-laws over - successful visit but always stressful.

Hope MOT turns up.

CocoaLeaves · 03/07/2017 06:32

Prayers bes
If you are insuring or getting your car tax online, you don't need the actual document, just in case that helps.

CocoaLeaves · 04/07/2017 10:07

Dear God, I pray with all my heart that You can support DS to speak his truth this afternoon; help him know he is safe and loved to do so, and that he will be okay. I pray for strength to keep following this path You have mapped out for me and give wholehearted thanks for the resources, friends and support You have provided me with. AmenFlowers
