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.

FaithLoveandHope - for her anxiety and depression to lift and for her to be able to avoid falling into despair and self-harm, and for her relationship with her DSD.

girlandboy- family and faith

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

MadHairDay - for her health, and those pesky lungs. For her friend.

Musicposy- CT scans, diagnosis and treatment, giving thanks that some progress with diagnosis has been made

NoRoomForALittleOne - Giving thanks that he operation was successful. For freedom from pain and recovery.

Orchidflower1- for help with her anxiety and the relationship with her husband

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.

QoF - for her relationship with her DH.

sadandanxious- for help with anxiety

StillSmallVoice MIL has an invasive malignant melanoma for dd and historical abuse investigation.

I hope the day went well Cocoa.
And for you to DJ and for your friend. It is difficult to know when to act and when to stand back, especially when friends are in a dark place, but it is possible to take on too much. You are right to think that you cannot be there 24/7.
I had a lovely day with ds and his family, have come home with flowers and a card.

OP posts:
DancingUnicorn · 26/03/2017 20:52

Praying for everyone today, that your days have been peaceful and calm and filled with love. Praying especially for people for whom Mother's Day causes challenging emotions.

Cocoa I hope your day at the coast was lovely, and everything you hoped for.

Praying for the finger bes and that you are feeling better today orchid.

SESthebrave · 26/03/2017 21:29

Praying for all and particularly thinking of those not feeling 100% for whatever reason.

BES - yes, soaking / bathing your finger in warm salty water will help.

Oma - I'm pleased it sounds like you had a lovely day with DS and family.

Mother's Day here was a day of extremes. DS and I went to church and then we had my parents over for a meal this afternoon. DS then behaved terribly by refusing to sit down for dinner with us and then lashing out at DH. It took about an hour to calm him down and get him to behave reasonably.
DS then followed up by singing me a happy Mother's Day song with DD.

LastnightaDJ · 27/03/2017 17:37

Thanks so much. Friend seems to be improving. I would do more but I'm limited as I am pregnant... Guardian angel seems to be doing a good job at the mo so that is great. Praying for us all, that we find peace. Thanks again to all on here sorry can't respond individually at mo.

Dutchoma · 27/03/2017 17:47

DJ do not worry about being able to kep up with the thread. I'm glad to hear that your friend is a bit better and I hope that your pregnancy progresses satisfactorily. How far gone are you?

OP posts:
DancingUnicorn · 27/03/2017 18:38

Praise to God for this glorious day of sunshine!

DJ glad your friend is improving, I pray it continues.

More prayers for a peace filled evening for everyone.

Doublegloucester · 27/03/2017 23:59

Hello all, not a thread regular but my dad has just gone into a hospice for respite... the subtext I'm getting is he might not come out again. Any prayer appreciated, thanks.

barefootcook · 28/03/2017 04:47

Dutchoma- do you have any more news of Joseph and Trazzle?

Ilikesweetpeas · 28/03/2017 04:58

Please can I have some prayers today? My school has ofsted and my prayer is that we can show them how much we care about our children, and that we do our very best to help them achieve.

Doublegloucester- prayers for your dad, you and your family

Dutchoma · 28/03/2017 07:32

They are in Great Ormond Street Hospital, I think, for three weeks of treatment until he gets his 'magic cells' back. There was a video of Joe eating what looked like a humoungous bowl of chocolate icecream. I think this is the third week.
Doublegloucester prayers for your dad also ilovesweetpeas, welcome and prayers for your school and your children.

BlackeyedSusan · 28/03/2017 07:39

BlackeyedSusan · 28/03/2017 07:40

LastnightaDJ · 28/03/2017 08:50

About 25 weeks but I feel I am carrying quite a large bump already 😊 Big meeting soon, attending as friend/advocate

SESthebrave · 28/03/2017 10:38

I've lost my work phone!!! I haven't seen it since the weekend and thought it was in the car or down the side of the sofa. Please pray I find it, particularly as my new boss has started this week and I don't think this would be the best first impression Blush

Prayers for Ilikesweetpeas and the Ofsted inspection.

DoubleGloucester - that sounds tough. Praying for you, your dad and all those who love him.

BES - prayers for your DS, his trip and the return.

EddSimcox · 28/03/2017 12:46

doubleG praying for your DF, for you, and for everyone who love him

sweetpeas good luck, sending prayers for you, the school, and for the children

bes sounds like a lot to do (as always) - great he is going though

SES I hope you found it!

Dutchoma · 28/03/2017 13:57

I have been thinking that it would be nice to organise a get together for the people on this thread and the twin religion thread. Everyone welcome, old new or lurking.
I have been looking at this place.
I have been there before with a different group and the catering would be done by the museum, it is very good. We did not book in advance but if there was a biggish group it might be good to give them some notice.
The dates I have been looking at are 17th or 24th June.
The best way forward would be to send me a pm and let me know which date would suit you, I realise it is never possible to accommodate everyboy, but after Easter we could pick the date that suited most people

SESthebrave · 28/03/2017 14:06

Great idea Oma! Will check my diary and get back to you.

Still not found my phone and not sure where else to look Shock

Lissette · 28/03/2017 14:14

Dutchoma that link brings up the Art museum in Birmingham Alabama USA.

Is this the one you mean?
www.birminghammuseums.org.uk/bmag

Dutchoma · 28/03/2017 14:27

Sorry, yes. I had to do it twice, the first time I looked that it was the right Birmingham, I must have made the mistake the second time. I'm having a bit of trouble copying and pasting on the iPad, bear with me.

OP posts:
Lissette · 28/03/2017 15:23

Alabama would have been a great road trip Dutchoma Wink

Dutchoma · 28/03/2017 15:56

Bit far...

OP posts:
SESthebrave · 28/03/2017 21:04

After a few phone calls, I know where my phone is! I left it behind somewhere on Saturday and can collect it tomorrow. In the process of searching at home though, I found DS's Nintendo 3DS which had been missing since New Year, so all worked out for the best in the long run!

Dutchoma · 28/03/2017 21:52

Praise be to St Anthony for finding lost things.

OP posts:
Ilikesweetpeas · 28/03/2017 21:54

Thank you so much to all of you lovely people who prayed for me and my super school today. We're delighted Smilewth a fair and professional inspection. I've been going back through the thread and adding many of you to my prayers tonight. I found this thread when I couldn't sleep but will check back often. Lovely to think we can pray for strangers though this forum
