What a star y'are CD

Hello all. Goodness, what a long list! How lovely to see so many people bringing their needs to God.

Please could we add ds1. He has an infection under his tooth, and the dentist wanted to pull it out, and the healthy one on the other side, to keep him even! However, they are trying antibiotics first. Prayers for healing, so that the teeth can last for a year or two longer would be much appreciated.

Re thread title. Saw a lovely poster over Easter outside a church I drive past regularly -

"Nails didn't hold Jesus to the cross. His love for you did."

CaptainDippy · 21/04/2009 17:21

That's beautiful NQGU Prayers for poor DS1 and his tooth. xx

Had a lovely time "on strike", not going to find the key for the shed my children!

Anybody heard from MJIM, are they all better from their 'bug'

cupofteaplease · 22/04/2009 08:46

Thanks CD for including me in the roundup, and for anyone that has spared a moment to say a prayer for my baby.

I have my deciding scan this morning at 10am. Let's see what God has decided {smile]

MaryBS · 22/04/2009 09:50

Praying, cupoftea. May God, the father of us all, support you and strengthen you, and bless your little one.

ZipadiSoozi · 22/04/2009 12:55

cupoftea - Prayers for you, how did it go?

cupofteaplease · 22/04/2009 13:23

Just an update: scan this morning showed that my baby has definitely not survived. No heartbeat can be seen.

Thanks for the prayers, and if you could keep my family in your prayers whilst we get through this difficult time, that would be fab

MargaretMountford · 22/04/2009 14:23

cupofteaplease -thinking of you

M44 · 22/04/2009 14:28

So sorry cupoftea-will be praying for you.

MaryBS · 22/04/2009 14:42

So sorry to hear that cupoftea. God take care of you and yours at this sad time.

Also praying for your DS also, M44

DutchOma · 22/04/2009 16:11

Notquitegrownup · 22/04/2009 17:02

Cupoftea I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers for you and your family at this time.

Flying by. God bless all.

Clockface · 22/04/2009 18:16

Cupoftea. I am praying for you in your loss.

I feel petty asking for this now, but I'd really like prayer for dd. She is being bullied at school by a girl who is a really unsuitable best friend for her. The girl is manipulative, lying, stealing and foul-mouthed (even at 6). I am so at what happened today. Really really [angry . And dd still wants to be her best friend! Please pray for dd to be able to make some nicer friends , to steer her way through the whole complicated business of working out right from wrong and standing up against peer pressure, and for me to be able to forgive the little toerag girl for hurting my dd.

CaptainDippy · 22/04/2009 19:39

CupofTea Praying for you in your loss. xx

Your poor DD CF and poor you, so hard to see your little one suffering. Praying for a safe path through this for you. xx

MaryBS · 23/04/2009 08:11

Still praying Cupoftea...

Just wanted to share my news, I finally heard that I passed my Ethics module, over 4 months after handing my coursework in - I got "credit" on both pieces, which I'm really pleased about because I'd really struggled with the work! I am still waiting for my doctrine results, but am on the home straight now... last module!

DutchOma · 23/04/2009 09:14

Congratulations Mary.

And praying for dd CF. very difficult situation. do you know the mother of the little f(r)iend? Maybe she is stumped too and could do with some help?

Clockface · 23/04/2009 09:32

Go Mary! Brilliant work.

Thanks for the prayers for dd. She has skipped off to school quite happily today with a plan in her mind about who to play with etc. DO yes normally I would join forces with the other mum but in this case the sad thing is that it's the child's home life that is making her the way she is, iyswim .

Yesterday was her first day back at school after Easter and there was too much difficult stuff from home for the wee thing to cope with, so she took it all out on dd, physically in this case although in the past it's always just been verbal (typical sad bully pattern). It is so hard on the child and I do really feel for her but my first priority is to protect dd.

The irony of it is that the child has really latched on to me as a mum-figure and I think she sees something in our family that she craves - stability, friendship, fun, opportunities to learn (not that we are perfect but we do have these things, thanks to God) and I'd love to reach out to her more and have her round more but because of her messed-up 6 y o life she is such a destructive force.

It is really good to be able to type all this, get it all out and know that you are praying! Things like this do upset me; I was so upset yesterday.

DutchOma · 23/04/2009 09:49

A very difficult situation, CF, but what an opportunity.
Surely the Lord Himself will give you the strength to have an input in this little girl's life.
And also God Himself will protect your dd from harm. Good to hear that she skipped off to school happily, she is a tough cookie, your dd. Lots of respect for you both.

CaptainDippy · 23/04/2009 10:02

Oh, CF, I am sat here, crying my eyes out because that child that is bullying you DD is me!! I never bullied anyone particularly, but what you have said about her homelife and her behaviour and her latching on to you is all me Here if you would like someone to talk it through to further ..... captain_dippy "at" yahoo "dot" co "dot" uk You are so right about her seeing somethingi n you that she craves xx

Congratulations to Mary - clever girlie!! xx
