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

Nickel- for church and her disability, and a friend moving on from DV

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.

Oh my dear dancing this happened to me a few years ago. I am so very sorryFlowers. I will pray for you, of course. People have different views on foetal life but I believe my little ones who did not make it to earth are in the stars, in heaven with God. I hope that is okay to say.

Madhairday · 31/03/2017 15:06

Oh dancing I'm so very sorry, how devastating. Flowers praying for you as you go through this horrible time. I agree with Cocoa about little ones who didn't make it. Flowers

Much much love.

Lissette · 31/03/2017 15:24

So very sorry dancingunicorn. May God give you strength.

DancingUnicorn · 31/03/2017 19:24

Thank you all so much.

Praying for peace for everyone tonight. Cocoa praying for an easier weekend than the week you've had, and also giving thanks for not being alone.

Praying for health for you mhd.

girlandboy · 31/03/2017 20:25

So so sorry for you DancingUnicorn.
More prayers coming your way. Strength and love your way.

CocoaLeaves · 31/03/2017 21:08

Thank you dancingunicorn, that is really kind, I will be praying for you, please be gentle on yourself, it is a difficult time.

BlackeyedSusan · 01/04/2017 00:42

so sorry dancing.

I found the miscarriage association very helpful in their online advice.

Orchidflower1 · 01/04/2017 08:42

So sorry dancing praying for all your family.

Praying for all in the need of support that they feel loved.

Doublegloucester · 01/04/2017 15:04

Thank you for your prayers, everyone. Dad is still here, so making the most of him.

Dancing, so sorry, will be praying for you, and all Flowers

FairytalesAreBullshit · 02/04/2017 06:33

I've been praying to St Jude about personal matters and everyone around me. My prayers got answered, there's still more to go, but the fact that the first bit has worked is amazing.

God bless you all

Lissette · 02/04/2017 07:10

Delighted Fairytales. I'll say a prayer for you and everyone else here at Church this morning. In which case I'd better get up....

SESthebrave · 02/04/2017 20:37

Posting so I don't lose track of you all again.
There's been lots of posts since I last checked in but have read through.

Prayers particularly for DancingUnicorn - I'm so sorry you are going through this.

FairytalesAreBullshit · 03/04/2017 07:26

Hope everyone has a blessed Monday and a great week.

Orchidflower1 · 03/04/2017 12:21

Praying for all on the thread and for those in Columbia coping with awful mudslides and brace rescuers.
Praying for a calm, happy and healthy easter holiday in the orchid house.

Dontbesilly · 03/04/2017 16:10

Dancingunicorn. I am so sorry to hear about your sad news. I lost two babies in pregnancy and it's such a sad time. I still look at the scan pictures and they have names and I remember the due dates and the date we discovered they had gone. I too believe that they are in heaven and I will meet them both. For now they are with my dad giving grandad the run around. Prayers for you. Take it easy x

Dontbesilly · 03/04/2017 16:57

Mhd. Hoping you feel better soon. Sorry to hear that you are not good at the moment I am praying for you to feel better x

Girlandboy. Your poor ds. He has had a lot to go through with the surgery and I would hope that his tutor would be a little more understanding. Hoping you had a word with someone who can be more supportive within the school and that it went well and you are both feeling a little bit more positive and supported. As a mum it's natural to feel like you did especially as you know what he has just gone through. You would like to think he at least has their support. Prayers for you and your family x

I am all at sea. Dh returns to work soon and I am a bit concerned for him. He is a very conscientious worker and he gives his all, takes a prise in his work and cares about his work, worrying about it sometimes.

I have been praying hard for him to return to work and be ok. He feels like if he can't do it he has let us down. I have said that is nonsense but it's no use. I am quite frustrated that the hospital won't agree for me to go back to work. I will be reviewed again at the end of may. I worry that this is putting stress on dh regarding work.

It's so annoying not being able to drive. We live quite a distance from anywhere and the buses are ok but it's a hassle getting anywhere on a bus when you usually drive there. I know that probably sounds spoilt. Its a few buses just to the local hospital for example and the routine vet appointments for boosters is stressing me out. I worry its putting more pressure on dh to drive me to the appointments and I am getting worried about each one. I try to plan everything so it's the least trouble and do online shopping but it's worrying me and it's daft stuff. It's not just about the injuries it's also the hassle of the accident too and the effects on the family. It also seems unfair and I get annoyed and woe is me. I need a kick up the bum.

Dads anniversary went ok. I was at hospital during the anniversary and the appointment brought good news and I felt so sad to be happy about the recovery on the day itself. Then I felt like dad was aware of this and just eanted me to be happy with my progress and that he was with me. Its like it was meant to happen on that day and to cheer me up from my dad. It's so him. Me, dh and the dc each saw a fluffy feather during the anniversary day when we were not together. Again so dad. We tidied his grave up and laid flowers and a Robin flew down and watched us as we did this. It was a day that we just quietly remembered dad and felt close to him and reflected on everything and anything. We laughed and cried together at the same time. We feel so lucky to have had him and I try not to be sad as he certainly wouldn't want that.

I just really pray that dh is OK and work is better than he and I worry about. It might do him good to get back into things and meet more people than just us really.

Thinking of everyone Flowers

DancingUnicorn · 03/04/2017 18:56

Praying for your dh don't as he returns to work. I hope they are good to him and allow him to return at a pace he can cope with. I'm sorry you are frustrated with your work situation. Praying that at your May assessment things are better for you.

Lots of prayers for a calm Easter in the Orchid house!

Thank you for all the thoughts. I'm feeling very blessed and have been incredibly well looked after by our wonderful NHS. Was able to have surgery today and am now recovering at home. Feeling calm and trusting in Gods perfect timing for now. ❤

Lissette · 03/04/2017 20:17

Praying for the don't and orchid household.

dancingunicorn you take the very best care of yourself. I'm glad you have been discharged and are at home. X

Dutchoma · 03/04/2017 21:46

OP posts:
Lissette · 03/04/2017 21:47

I wouldn't like that either Bes

BlackeyedSusan · 03/04/2017 23:26

not sure curtains were shut and there was not time to see if the rest went out.

Orchidflower1 · 04/04/2017 06:55

Hope power sorted bes

BlackeyedSusan · 04/04/2017 18:06

I am wondering if there is fried rat/mouse somewhere in the substation.

DancingUnicorn · 04/04/2017 18:25
