Yes, DO kitchens and bathrooms - I love it, it is the high end of the market (£40k for a kitchen at minimum!)

Praying for Cd & CC in their "ventures"!

Hoping you are ok Sooz, miss you bouncing round here

Praying for you too PP, I can't add any more wise words to what others have said but hope you find peace soon.

mufti - hope tomorrow gets sorted and you are happy with whatever you decide. Your poor DH, it might be nice for him to do something lovely like your baptism..

Hope those with poorly babies and other DC's are feeling better now.

off for a hot choc and a curl up on the sofa... God bless all your weekends

pepperpots praying that you will be able to release your grief in whatever way you need to. We're all different. if it were me I would be in floods but you've only got to look at me and i cry anyway.

Please tell me to shut up if i'm talking garbage.

But however you choose to deal with it we're here for you.

Mufti - your poor DH, praying for him and his family. Yay for your baptism, but if DH can't make it, let us know how it goes!

Please pray for N, she is back in hospital tonight, we HOPE its just precautionary, but her ear has "been discharging" (sorry, TMI), I hope and pray its not the flesh-eating bug back

I googled "doubt poems", these 2 seemed good:

Fear, Love & Doubt
by M R Wood

Seems its fear, love and doubt
That brings old worry here about
We never worry when Joy surrounds
Nor take pause in laughter?s sound
In happiness no worries found
Only smile and never frowns
Nope, is only in love, fear and doubt
We learn to worry, cry and pout
Love should always bring us joy
But fearing loss with doubt we toy
It feeds upon our mind and soul
Till love becomes a loathsome goal
Then the cycle now complete
We sigh and drown in love?s defeat.

Or this one (I love this one!):

Faith and Doubt

Doubt sees the obstacles.
Faith sees the way.
Doubt sees the darkest night.
Faith sees the day.
Doubt dreads to take a step.
Faith soars on high.
Doubt questions "Who believes?"
Faith answers "I."

Could you lovely ladies pray for my cough.

I've had it for a month and cant sleep - have been sleeping propped up in bed, and am gettting very tired ...

So the first sign I'n not coping with something is that I start avoiding the phone and I realise I havent answered it or made a call in a fortnight ... just cos I'm so tired I cant make any decisions .....

Someone said today they wondered if I had whooping cough as I am having minutes of coughing where I can hardly catch my breath -- but forgot then to ask dh before he went to bed ...

i have some news about my grandma

they have changed their diagnosis, so although she still has terminal cancer they can do some treatment, which will help to make her more comfortable and hopefully come home

they have said nothing "critical" will happen in the next 2 months which is a small comfort

so, thank you so much for all your prayers

I thank G-d for this news and am looking forward now to spending some more time with her

thank you, thank you, thank you

Praying for you harrisey - for your cough and that you get time to ask your lovely dh about it! How are you today?

Mary those poems are lovely, I especially love the second one.

NSFN - praying for your friend, how shocking for her. May the Lord hold her close and comfort her in her sadness (and joy).

Praying for you too Podglet - did you enjoy children in need? Praying for some kind soul to show you how the new system works.

Its early and ds has already gone to grandmas for an overnight stop. They live in Stafford and mum & dad want to take ds and dneice to the parade in town today - apprarently spongebob squarepants will be there. Say no more.

It's lovely here - just drinking in the absolute peace of Jesus.

GOD is good, all the time
we are all going , 6pm
dh got back, asked what was happening this weekend, i reminded him. he said , we'll go, its important to you
as a non swimmer, bit scared of going under, but i know its very quick

Do tell us all about it when you get back Mufti - praying all goes 'swimmingly' for you
YAY GOD IS GREAT!

Oh Mufti, I'm so pleased dh is coming with you. Praying that God will speak to his heart through your baptism.
Ruby, so pleased to hear about your grandma, hope you get to spend real quality time with her.
Harrisey, those coughs are terrible. Mine never goes quite away, although at the moment it is not keeping me awake at night. Just all of a sudden spasms. Have you got a 'proper' GP to go to? My brother refuses point blank to give advice to the family, other than to 'go and see your GP'.
NSFN Praying for you and for these sudden and unexpected deaths, very distressing for all of you. Praying for ds as well, how are things this morning?
Praying for N, Mary.
And praying for LissieLou, there is a thread on the miscarriage/bereavement thread, but I'll lose this one if I go for the link.

Mufti - so glad to hear that it is all working out for tomorrow.

Dh and I were baptised in March. Its only scarey for a second, and then amazing! I hope and pray you have a fabulous day. It was very special for me.

Take care.

hello all
Mufti - praying that your baptism is a really special time, amd that God really speaks to you through it

Ruby - thanks fo rthe update, we continue to pray for your Grandma

CD - on the march eh - we took DS on his first demonstration when he was 3 moinths old...

Harisey, praying for your cough.

Well, the effects of a busy week and a stinking cold have finally caught up with me, I've only just got up today! DH took the DC to their swimming lesson at 9 am, and I stayed in bed with a banging head, thin kI was tense about the Ceilidh at school, and had been grinding my teeth which ended up with a headache. I'm ok now, just a bit woozy

Hello everyone!

Pudmog, I would have hung onto the sleeoverers too. BTW, my ds2's excema has suddenly flaired as well. He usually gets it a day or two ahead of falling ill, so maybe whatever upset your dss tum triggered it? Or maybe it's just the change in weather, and increased central heating which has set them both off?! It's certainly worse with ds2 at night at the moment, starting at around midnight, when he starts to get too hot. Nuisance.

Praying for your friends, NSFN, and for N, Mary, and for your baptism tomorrow Mufti. Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhh! Look forward to hearing all about it.

Could I ask for prayers overnight please? We're due to visit Mum tomorrow, as it's her birthday. However, we daren't go if any of us have even a small sneezle or cough or cold as she is due to go into hospital next week for a minor, but important operation which would have to be cancelled if she had a cold! Bearing in mind the time of year, and the infectivity of small boys, please pray that if we might not infect her if we go, or that I will know, clearly, whether we should go or not.

Prayers for all. God bless.

Feeling tired and rubbish - there have been so many posts since I last looked (bad neglectful prayer-er you see) so am going to pray this:

Father God, please hold in your hands all my friends on the MN prayer thread.
Give comfort where there is distress
Give strength where there is doubt
Be merciful to us and ease our troubles
And may Your Love uphold and surround us all and all those known to us.
Amen

Hope that's ok

NorthernLurker - Here here!!!!!!

Off to try and BOING!!!!!!!!

Nope sorry still don't feel very boingy!

Prayer needed here

Northernlurker - that's lovely! Thank you. Don't feel rubbish. You've really made me feel v special.

Hi Sooz

Helloooooo!

NorthernLurker thank you for your lovely prayer!

CD how did the march go?

Hmmm...will pray for that dilemma, NQGU.

Panda how are you now? Has your rest pepped you up?

Podmog, I will pary for your ds's ezcema, with feeling. Poor wee love.

Well I have spent all day in church at the Prayer Ministry course - very good stuff. All about the gifts of the Holy Spirit, praying for healing, and that sort of thing. Tonight I am chilling out with dh and a glass of wine before going back for the rest of it tomorrow (when we'll be covering forgiveness and emotional healing). The idea is that I will join a prayer team in the church. And hopefully have (or is it take?) opportunities to pray with people outside of the church too!

Have a good Saturday evening. xxx

Good morning! Please pray for me - I'm not going to church today as ds is at grandmas and I'm being lazy
If ever a soul needed saving, it's mine

NL thank you for that lovely prayer, it makes me feel very special and humbe that other people take the time to pray for me.

possible tmi alert
I'm praying hard on the ttc front....due to ov in next few days. Am getting seriously excited . I never had this with ds because when I came off the pill I only had 5 periods in 20 months so had no idea what my cylce was or when I was ov-ing. So, being realistic, if I don't get pg then at least I know I only have to wait 3 weeks after af until I ov again. I totally trust God to work this out for me in His own way.

Prayers of peace, happiness and understanding for you all today. May God's love lift you when you least expect it. Amen
