mufti · 11/12/2007 10:39

prayers please for GOD to move in this
i shared a few months back that dh said he wanted to go to his parents this christmas, and then alternate , to keep it fair.
at the time i said my mum would be on her own if i don't have her, and of course, i always have, and i want to see her anyway. although i did agree that alternating if the fair way.
well, as you know, fil died 4 weeks ago. mil initial reaction was to not want christmas at all, last week she said she doesn't mind if we don't go, as she may be upset.
she will see sil, and family , but as they are up there , they can come and go, whereas we will be staying there.
ds takes ages to settle in strange places anyway, dh said he would decide , "in a week", which is this week.
also, mil is catholic , my mum sent a little booklet with praryers and scriptures , hoping it would be of some comfort to her, i passed it on . well, sadly it had the opposite affect upset her ,and dh, to put it mildly..
i sent a note apologising and asked her to forgive me for upsetting her, but she hasnt mentioned the note to dh.
so now i will feel awkward.
eek, ramble over, need to GOD to move really so that whatever we do is best for all of us.

DippyChristmas · 11/12/2007 11:01

{{{{{mufti}}}}} Don't try to please everyone, just do what you think is best - Trust your instincts, you will probably be right. xxxxx Praying for this delicate siutation. You have done nothing erong. Protect the interests of those you love most (DH and DS). xx

NorthernLurkerwithastarontop · 11/12/2007 11:25

Oh Mufti - that is hard. Family arrangements are always tough aren't they - even without a recent bereavement. Will pray you can all find your way through.

DippyChristmas · 11/12/2007 11:58

worzella · 11/12/2007 13:30

Thanks PandaG - i woke up in the middle of the night and just knew that it should be without the h!

DippyChristmas · 11/12/2007 14:43

LOL Worz How are you, my dear!!?

CaptainCaveman · 11/12/2007 15:09

Guys I love you, you are all so FAB. Just had to let you know that

Posted at 4.30 this morning but pc went on the blink and i lost my post!!

Basically saying that I was praying for the poor lad who is going into residential unit. Eating disorders are so all encompassing but you can get well from them - just look at me!!!. Is he going in voluntarily?
Please God hold this boy and his family close to you, show him how to learn to love himself by loving you, and guide him to the light out of the darkness he inevitably feels surrounded by at this time. AMen.

DippyChristmas · 11/12/2007 16:41

I didn't know you had suffered from ED, CC .... perhaps I've just not been paying attention. Praise god for your recovery - and praying for full recovery for this young lad too. xx

bobsmum · 11/12/2007 16:58

Evening!

I'm here-ish and very very very very warm

Could you just pray for ds (again) - we had a meeting with the Ed psych last week.

DS' behaviour at school seems a lot worse than I'd understood it to be. His class teacher seems to be at the end of her tether with him and we've had 2 letters home yesterday and today about his cheekiness and inability to sit still. He mutters to himself and fidgets all through class and is disrupting the classroom for the other children. The entire council SN budget is being spent on his support worker and she's now with him in the playground as well as in the classroom.

He's s different boy at home - still mutters/repeats/fidgets, but is entirely "controllable".

Ed Psych is unwilling to go for a diagnosis at his age, but she mentioned the Autism word again. However he is steadily improving at everything, so that's also confusing things - if he was on the spectrum then there would be things we would just have to live with and cope with, rather than seeing him suddenly manage fine.

Argh.

Am , but did I mention I was warm ?

ChristmasseyHarrisey · 11/12/2007 16:58

I wondered if you ladies had heard about the shootings in America at the Denver YWAM base

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7137615.stm

A friend of mine from college trained there and though she didnt know the victims, she did know the gunman . If you could keep them in your prayers, we'd appreciate it.

On a lighter note, I got my results back today, they are all really good and I even did better than dh in the most difficult one!!! The Masters is still on track, the results are all good enough.

TheIceQueen · 11/12/2007 17:04

Hi - 'tis QoQ (with her Christmas name).

My grandad passed away this morning .

He went peacefully, and happily though - with carers from the home sat with him right until the end.

It's odd, I woke up this morning CONVINCED that my parents had called me and told me that he'd passed away yestedray - I had such a vivid dream that yesterday at 3.05pm they rang and told me that they would be late to visit today (pre-planned) as he'd gone to be with the Lord, and his dear wife. When I woke up I nearly called them as I was shocked that I'd forgotten about such an important phonecall until this morning.

Then at 11.30 - when I got back from picking DS2 up from nursery, they had arrived (later than planned) and told me he'd died this morning

Podmog · 11/12/2007 17:42

Message withdrawn

PandaG · 11/12/2007 17:45

sorry to hear your news QoQ - glad that you were able to take DS3 to meet him. my love and prayers to you and your family in your grief.

Mufti - praying for you too {{hugs}}

DutchOma · 11/12/2007 17:51

Oh Podmog, how awful So glad you made up though, a real answer to prayer, thanks for letting us know.
about your little boy, Bobsmum, is he happier out of doors than inside?
Congrats Harrisey on those wonderful results, what will you do when all yoru studying is over?
Icequeen, thank the Lord He has taken your dear Grandad to be with Himself, so glad his pasing was peaceful and that you all managed to see him at some time before his death.

muppetgirl · 11/12/2007 18:07

Please can you say a prayer for my mil and her mother who has been given weeks maybe months to live due to a tummor on her pancreas (sp?) that has spread to her liver.

Mil distraught as you would imagine but extra ditress as her mum is in austria (mil is Austrian) and although she went over last week she won't be over again until 1st week of jan.

Can you pray that her mum makes it till then so mil can say goodbye and pray for mil to find the words and strength to say goodbye.

many, many thanks.

NorthernLurkerwithastarontop · 11/12/2007 18:34

Muppetgirl - praying for time and strength for you all as you face this journey

QofQ - prayers for you at this hard time - but it is good to know that your Grandfather has gone to be with the Lord and up till the end of his time on earth had caring people with him.

Harrisey - well done for the results!

Podmog - great to hear you made it up Nothing wrong in paying your dcs to tidy - obviously they pay income tax to you on that - right?

Bobsmum - praying for your ds

ChristmasseyHarrisey · 11/12/2007 18:57

bobsmum - glad you are warm, but about your ds - hope this can get sorted out soon.

QoQ - sorry to hear about your grandad. WHen my Gran died in March, I woke up at 3am, I had been having a really vivid dream about her. My Dad phoned at 8, to say she had died at 3am. I think there is more to things than we really understand. Found out later my Brother had had the same dream that evening.

So many people seem t be very ill right now - prayers to all.
