Prayers and Praise for all of these things and for those not mentioned too - esp DutchOma who is such a wonderful and special person to have on this thread, bringing her strength, humour and wisdom to all those with requests etc

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww .... QofQ - Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yummy - thank you for sharing .... Your DS' are scrummy & your DH is fine - if you don't mind me saying!!? What a beautiful family you have - Praise God for each one of them .... and you too, Super Mum!!

Thanks - as you can see - DH is totally smitten with the 3rd child he definitely did't want

QoQ Wonderful pictures, such a sweet baby.
CD How is dh's job going, sorry if you've already posted and I've missed it.
Praying for strength and a good time with your Dad, mine always was late turning up everywhere, didn't stop him being the most wonderful generous person though.

hmmm yes - very sweet when he's now decided to go down to sleep 1/2hr early.....don't know if this is his "pre bed nap" - or down for the next 4-6hrs one.....so he's in his cot just incase.......DH won't be too chuffed as going down early means that he (DH) will almost certaily have to get up circa 2-3am with him - whereas going down at 8pm he sometimes scrapes through until 4am (where I take over LOL).

Hello all

Much better day today - had a good chat with DH last night,and sorted some stuff out so thanks for your prayers. Been out all day with a friend and her 3 and my 2, had a good time. Thanks all for your prayers.

Hi Katz - Good to "see" you! Glad you had a fab time away seeing your bro etc .....

Well- Phoebe went down at just before 7pm last night and IS STILL ALSEEP!! A major breakthrough??????????????? Anyway, I am going to go and try and have a shower before she wakes as she is goingto be huuuuuuuuunnnnnngggrrrrrrrrreeeeeeee when she finally wakes up .......

Praying for all those who need God's gentle, loving, healing touch. May he reach out and lay his blessings on all those in need - especially Steve and OJ

Hi Katz, welcome back! Baby times are always exciting times!

I heard that N.'s operation yesterday was successful, and the paralysis (Bell's palsy) in her face has gone. Please keep her in your prayers though as she has still to get rid of the bug she has, and will need a further op. to close up her ear. She is pleased though, they are letting her come home this w/e! Thank God!

QoQ - great pix! Glad DH has been won round! How are things between you now?

Panda - glad you've sorted things with your DH! {hugs}

Great news about N's op - continuing to pray for her. How are you Mary sweetie?? xx

continuing to pray for Piter and Misdee and family , and also for OJ, Steve and family .

Well done to P for such a long sleep - hope you are feeling more rested CD?

Welcome back Katz, glad you are home safe

continuing to pray for N Mary.

Worz and I went to a friend's house last night, a bunch of women together to wait on God and pray for each other - had some encouraging words given to me . Glad to have sorted out some personal stuff with DH, but I know there are going to be more difficult discussions as we work through what I am going to do work wise. I do not want to be bound by fear, however abstract.

More rested!!!!? Ha! Ha! DD1 was up at 5.30am .......

Hey Ho!

All asleep now though!! Normal for DD's 2 & 3; but DD1 was soooo tired after the stupidly early morning, she has gone off in the pram in the garden - yey!

Glad things are feeling better, Panda - walking DD1 round the garden in the pram for a while gave me a nice chance to prayer for you guys (as many as I could remember!!!) for some reason I was reminded of "Jacob Wrestling" in the OT:

"I won't let go til you Bless me."

Think that was for Panda and for rosey - Please let me know if that speaks to you.....

Big pram CD?

No just an ordinary Maclaren pushchair thingy ...... DD1 is only 3.5yrs, bless her - gets tired very easily!

She's awake now, so need to go and give her a cuddle ....

Hello all!

Wonderful news about Peter. Praying for him and all the family.

OJ how are you? How's Steve? I am praying for you.

Panda I'm glad that you and dh are having a good sort-out. We are doing much the same tbh, and it is so good to work through issues together and work together towards what is best. Not easy sometimes tho, esp. when it means re-defining things (as it does in our case). And that sounds like a very encouraging evening with your friends. Hold onto those words!

CD "I will not go until you bless me" - you know, over the last yr I've had a real sense of me "wrestling with God" and a while ago I realised that this is exactly what He wants us to do - not just to pay lip-service to Him, but really to grapple with who God is.

And I'm not the only one! Dd has been testing my theological explaining capabilities lately. She asked yesterday "What is the purpose of children?" and "Mummy, sometimes people are born with bits of their bodies put on wrong. God sometimes makes mistakes when he puts bodies together, doesn't He mummy?" Over to you, ladies! Answers on a postcard please!!! Needless to say I have a very thoughtful five-yr-old on my hands!

So, FIL is getting married on Sat - please pray for all of us, esp. dh as he sees his dad start a new phase of his life. As I've said before, it was only 2 yrs ago that MIL died v. suddenly (collapsed out of the blue and died a day later in hospital ) and also very young (still in her 50s) so dh has had a real adjustment and is still grieving for her. FIL's finacee is lovely; we couldn't be more thrilled, but there is quite a tinge of sadness still around. New MIL-to-be has offered to look after the dc so that dh and I can have a weekend away together in the autumn! Fab fab fab! (Not the only reason I like her, of course!)

Oh Rosey, how often don't we think God makes mistakes How often does He smile on us, like you smile over dd and say:"It will be alright sweetheart, someone is in control".
People with 'bits put on the wrong way round' give us a chance to care and sometimes we just have to say "God I don't know what You're up to, but I trust you to do the right thing..for all of us". And sometimes we have to acknowledge that we have all made wrong choices from Adam and Eve onwards and we live in a fallen world and one day 'all tears will be wiped away' and we will stand in the Glory of God.
All the best for the wedding, glad your fil's new partner is so lovely. I can understand your sadness though.

Happy / Sad ocassions are weird. Praying it goes well for you Rosey, sweetie .... Glad things are getting more sroted for you and that the Jacob Wrestling did apply in some strange way .....

Hi DO - Wise words as always sweetie!!

Off for a walk with little P .....
