Not get praying!!

Just wanted to say something about "the Serenity prayer". Like most people I only know the first part - and familiarity with it breeds contempt. There IS more to it though, and I quote it in full because it says so much:

"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next.
Amen.

• Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971) "

Amen to that Mary - I too, know the first part really well, and the second very vaguely.

much love this rainy morning xxx

Have you heard how your friend is this morning NSFN?
Glad to hear you found some peace in the night Mary. I wake up and I think of you, but that is as far as it goes
Cough seems to be getting better, but is still rumbling about in the distance.

Blessings to all

Hello All. Mufti asked me to update you re Naswm/Losty so here I am. I am pleased to be able to tell you all that she came out of hospital a few weeks ago and has been staying with a friend whilst continuing therapy at the hospital as an outpatient. This weekend just gone she returned home to live. I was talking to her on msn only last night (hooray!) and she was sayng how she will come onto MN one day to thank people for their good wishes and concern. She particularly mentioned this thread. She doesn't feel able to do this yet - MN being a public forum, I think she feels quite intimidated by it - but I think she will make it onto here one day.

She still has a long long way to go in terms of her recovery, and life is very far from normal for her still, but I know you will all rejoice with me that she is out of hospital and seems to be going in the right direction now.

Oh, DG - Thank you sooooo much for coming to tell us! That has made my day! Soooo pleased she is out of hospital, continuing to pray for naswm's healing and recovery. Will be amazing to "see" her when she finaly makes it back here - We have all missed her - she was the reason I orginally set this thread, you know!!

nsfn - Praying for your friend who has had the haemorage, how frightening - Please let usk now you know any more. Wrap her up in your love and care, Lord. xx How are you and your lot, anyway??

Glad you are feeling more peaceful (serene ??) Mary - have been thinking of you and praying for you lots - We all have these "wobbles", so glad you could come here and "cast your burdens"!

Soooooooooooooz - you are boingy busy atm, hon - Sloooooooooooow down......

There goes Sooz and we missed her!! Hope the dr can sort out the hrt hon. xx

Great to "see" you mtgaa - it is a day for "reunions", isn't it!!? Glad you are doing much better, do pop in whenever you can sweetie. Big hugs. xx

DG , thanks so much for letting us know about naswm, I really appreciate it. I will continue to pray for her at home.

I've got another job application to do, and various bits for school, need to be focussed!

Praying for focus, Panda - Will try to find you on Facebook - the race is on!!

CD - Hia - just {{{{{{{{{{zooming}}}}}}}}}} by
How are the mini dippies? OOOh I love weaning, all that baby rice and puried sweet potatoe and puried carrot, yummy! after the ice-cube stage they sell little pots in Asda only 25p each

NSFN - prayers for your friend, poor thing, I bet you are really worried. Prayers your holiday goes to plan!

Mary - Glad you could find peace (even though it was the middle of the night hope you are staying positive and keep seeking help with your mentor. Take care and prayers for some 'SLEEP'

Prayers for my ds1 hope his school holiday is ok, shame about the rain today, missing his presence (not his behaviour) Twins missing him, keep asking after him. I love you 'Peanut'

Prayers for NASWM hope she continues to recover, good she is home, please god wrap her in your care.

MTGAA - lovely to hear from you, glad you and your xh can be friendly and the dc get to see that.

Right its lunch time, then playgroup, then teaching 121 swimming lesson then off to work till 10.30pm prayers all goes smoothly!

Looks like a splashing walk with wellies to playgroup that'll keep the dts happy.

CD - I'm in Facebook - always looking for new "friends"

You're great, Sooz! Praying for your DS1 on his school holiday, I am sure he is having a wonderful time ... and you are enjoying the break, even if you are missing him! Enjoy your wellie walk and if, after all that you would like to come down and wean my baby and dig up my garden, t'would be muchly appreciated. I detest weaning ..... with a passion!!!

I can't remember Panda or QofQ RL names!

I'm Gwen - I'm on the MN group so you can find me on their ;-)

CD - I'd be there like a shot if you lived closer, I just loved the control factor of their diet, (all things good) now my dc eat things I don't like them having, its called 'whilst mummy at work daddy feeds me what I want' bribery

'Facebook' ????????????

Busy day Sooz - hope you get everything done!

Facebook is a networking site online, you set up a profile, and can search for friends who are also on it - I mainly use it to play scrabble, Worzella keeps beating me!

can't remember your RL name CD - well, I know your first name, not your surname. mail me on pandag at safe hyphen mail dot net and I will give you my details.

well, I've done various jobsand the easy bit of the next application form, now must get on with the hard bit!!!

I've had NSFN text me for prayers - her friend is in Resusc, please God be with her, and her daughter (who is with NSFN).

praying for your friend, and fir the medical team nsfn. xxx

Praying. xxxx

aaaaaaaaagh what a day. Won't go into details now but have been stretched today..!

Praying for all, esp NSFN's friend and for you Mary .

ok who has just requested me to be their friend on there?? I'm guessing it's one of you lot???

Mary that text was yesterday afternoon.

Right time for an update - she is much better popped in to see her this afternoon with some squash and some knickers and her response was i'm fine i've got a comfy bed and i've just had a roast dinner.

She had two units of blood last night and a load of other fluids and that has sorted her I think. She has stopped bleeding so the next prayer is that the biopsy results are clear or something simply treated.

prayers for her dh who looked absolutely exauhsted when he picked his dd up this eve, they were off to the hospital which is 16 miles away and he's done a full day at work - bless.

Hi all,

I'm on fb - also on the MN group. Should think the best place to look for each other is under the topic "what's your mn name?"

DP not much better today his cold seems to have gone to his chest. It is so nice having him at home though!

NSFN - praying hard for your friend, what a terrible thing to happen.

Mary - glad you are finding some peace, even in the early hours

CD - weaning, oh the joys! If I am being a lazy mummy, DS gets the Plum Baby range, which are brill. I now miz baby pasta into them to bulk them out a bit.

DO - hurrah for the peppermint pill hope it continues to help.

Sooz - hope your hectic day has gone smoothly Splashing in wellies - how fun!

T'was me, QofQ

Glad your friend is doing much better now, nsfn - bless her DH - lots of prayers for them all!

yes I gathered that CD - from the "how we met" thingymajig ( you do realise I'll now be bombarding you with "superpoke" things and other irritating stuff )

Rosey - hope your s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d day is shortening

NSFN - prayers for continued recovery and healing for your friend, especially for the results of the biopsy

Hia everyone else, just got back from work after another long day so am going to retire gracefully now and sink into my beautiful warm soft bed just waiting for me {{{{{{yawn}}}}}}

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
