Still praying...
Here, sister's eyesight is a lot better, ds's eye appointment is fairly soon and we'll be praying hard that they have a solution for him as he's struggling with his sports now. I'm waiting for an appointment with the docs tomorrow for what could well be a broken foot, and dh has managed to crack his ribs falling on the ice! Apart from that, things are going well

DutchOma · 12/01/2010 14:09

Oh Amber...hope the docs can sort you out.

meltedchocolate · 12/01/2010 15:10

Oh dear Amber. Praying for your family x

Oh and sorry Dutch - I keep missing you on Facebook - Promise I am not ignoring you - I just leave the computer on, it goes 'to sleep' and I cant see anything but it still tells you I'm there when I am not really.

I hate technology!

DutchOma · 12/01/2010 15:47

Not to worry MC, I don't hate technology and really enjoy being able to connect and pray with all the people that are so far flung and which you would never 'know' otherwise.

meltedchocolate · 12/01/2010 20:06

I hate it because I waste away infront of it

HallelujahHeisBorntoMary · 13/01/2010 08:49

(Adapting a prayer I was emailed - technology again!)

Grant to every member of the community here
the faith that removes obstacles,
the hope that makes all things new
and the love that brings deliverance,
that we more effectively serve you
and bring others to the knowledge of your truth
AMEN

DutchOma · 13/01/2010 20:40

Margaret's Bob died this morning. Thank you for your prayers.

PositiveAttitude · 14/01/2010 07:28

Prayers for Margaret in her grief DO.

Also continued prayers for everyone on here.

amberlight · 14/01/2010 08:36

Oh DO, goodness...prayers aplenty for Margaret and for everyone else whose lives were touched by Bob. May he find eternal peace and rest and love with God.

Prayers continuing for all here

HallelujahHeisBorntoMary · 14/01/2010 09:28

Yes, eternal rest for Bob and relief from pain. May God comfort Margaret in her loss, and also all those who grieve with her.

Prayers for those in Haiti also. For those who are suffering through the loss of loved ones, their homes, their possessions, those who are hurt, and for the support services and all who work for the good of others.

CaptainDippy · 14/01/2010 20:41

The images from Haiti are just breaking my heat Don't even know where to begin to pray ...

I am glad Bob is at peace now, DO; prayers a plenty for Margaret as she grieves and for all those who knew and loved him. He is with god now

Daughter is going away for the weekend, is being collected at 5pm. Please pray she is kept safe on the road, that she has a good time and comes home safely. She's never been away before on a trip like this (Brownies) .

amberlight · 15/01/2010 17:15

Praying for all....

CaptainDippy · 16/01/2010 10:58

She'll be fine Mary

Morning all! How's it going? Should probably do a new thread / update soon

OP posts:
meltedchocolate · 17/01/2010 19:11

Hello all.

Hope you are all OK.

Don't envy your job of starting a new thread and gathering everything together Dippy. Don't know how you have the patience but glad you do.

HallelujahHeisBorntoMary · 18/01/2010 08:24

Well, DD had a good weekend!

And can I just thank God my brother is coming home from Afghanistan today. He won't be actually back home till Thursday because of the circuitous route he has to fly, but he's done his stint, and he's coming home! Please pray for those still out there...

DutchOma · 18/01/2010 09:34

The news from Kaboul is very terrible this morning. Please pray for Chris and Anne, who are out there as missionaries.

Giving thanks for your brother's safe home coming.

CaptainDippy · 18/01/2010 11:49

Prayers for them and for all out there DO. xx

Sooo pleased your bro is coming back Mary Good stuff

Small, insignificant prayer here really - Just that P who is in "Big Girl Pants" today would stay in them and potty train quick, quick, quick, please. After doing two, I am not sure I have the time / patience / sanity to spend the rest of forever doing this one ..... ....

OP posts:
meltedchocolate · 18/01/2010 12:21

Glad your brother is coming home Mary and prayinf for them DO.

Could I ask for a quick prayer for me? Now everything is settling I am always so I am lonely, and cant stop crying.

meltedchocolate · 18/01/2010 12:23

Oh and for your wee gal Dippy - hope that all goes smoothly for you

PositiveAttitude · 18/01/2010 13:33

Mary ? Pleased you survived a weekend without DD and that she had a good weekend. Prayers of thanks for your brother coming home and continuing prayers for those still there and their families worrying at home.

CD ? Nothing and no-one is insignificant to God, so prayers for potty training too.

Meltedchocolate ? Big to you. Praying that God will comfort you and bring people alongside you to help you.

Just returned from the hospital with DD3 (ME/CFS sufferer) Very encouraging appointment as Consultant is really pleased with how well she is doing. It has been good to be reminded of how far she has come, rather than how far she has to go to get back to a near ?normal? teenage life.

Oh, also, can't remember if I posted on here about my church office being absolutely freezing......just to let you know that dispite still not having an outside wall (just a plastic sheeting still) and no glass in the windows, the heating has been fixed!!!!! Yeah!! SO, IF I have heating up full blast it can now sort of counteract the freezing blasts, of sorts, anyway. I even managed to take my coat off at work on Friday when the temperature hit the dizzy heights of 13 degrees!

meltedchocolate · 18/01/2010 13:48

Happy for you PA

God sent a friend to cheer me up, she has reminded me of some things that I so easily forget.
